Revit Architecture.
Training courses.

Learn Revit Architecture to develop building models and coordinated drawings. Choose Beginners, Intermediate or Advanced training, or our Families & Templates workshop. Each two-day option focuses on practical architectural workflows for your level.

Choose live online training or in-person sessions at your premises in London. A training venue can be arranged if required. One-to-one, group and bespoke team training are available. For training elsewhere in the UK, tell us your preferred location so we can confirm arrangements.

Your course options.

1. 01

   Find your way around Revit

   Understand the BIM approach and explore the interface, Project Browser and Properties palette. Start from a project template, set units and practise navigating, selecting and saving your work.

2. 02

   Set out your project

   Create levels and grids to organise the building. Use snaps, temporary dimensions, alignment and basic constraints to position elements accurately and make controlled changes.

3. 03

   Create walls, doors and windows

   Build the main wall layout and place doors and windows. Explore types and instances, load supplied components and see how changes update across the model views.

4. 04

   Add floors and roofs

   Draw floor and roof boundaries, edit sketches and set levels and offsets. Create a simple pitched or flat roof and connect the main building elements.

5. 05

   Complete the building model

   Place furniture and other components, then follow a guided exercise with a simple stair and railing. Review the building in 3D and resolve common placement issues.

6. 06

   Create and annotate drawings

   Set up plans, sections and elevations. Add dimensions, tags and notes, and control view scale, detail level and crop regions to communicate the design clearly.

7. 07

   Introduce rooms and schedules

   Place and tag rooms, then create a basic room or door schedule. Edit selected model information and see how the drawings and schedule remain connected.

8. 08

   Prepare sheets and export

   Place views on sheets using a supplied titleblock. Check scales, titles and drawing information, then export a small PDF set and review the finished project.

1. 01

   Develop building assemblies

   Create and edit layered wall, floor and roof types. Apply materials, adjust joins and profiles, and explore how assembly settings affect the model and its drawings.

2. 02

   Build curtain walls

   Set out curtain grids, mullions and panels. Adjust panel types and add doors to create practical glazed façades using Revit's curtain-wall tools.

3. 03

   Refine stairs and railings

   Develop stairs, landings, railings and ramps in a prepared building. Edit their main settings and coordinate openings, levels and surrounding geometry.

4. 04

   Add a simple site

   Create a Toposolid from supplied points or contour data. Adjust elevations, add subdivisions and relate the building to its immediate site without extending into a full civil-engineering workflow.

5. 05

   Control views consistently

   Use view templates, visibility settings and filters to establish clear drawing graphics. Organise working and presentation views and apply consistent settings across the project.

6. 06

   Develop architectural details

   Create callouts and detail views. Combine model information with detail components, filled regions, linework and annotations to explain a typical construction junction.

7. 07

   Organise rooms, areas and schedules

   Work with room boundaries and area plans. Refine schedules with sorting, grouping, filters and totals, and use them to check selected project information.

8. 08

   Coordinate the drawing issue

   Arrange sheets, manage view references and introduce revisions. Review the drawing set and export PDF and DWG files with suitable naming and export settings.

1. 01

   Position and manage linked models

   Link Revit and CAD files with appropriate positioning. Understand origins, project north, true north and shared coordinates, then manage link visibility and updates in a prepared coordination exercise.

2. 02

   Review model coordination

   Use Copy/Monitor for suitable levels and grids, review coordination changes and run a focused interference check. Identify issues that need discussion and understand the limits of these checks.

3. 03

   Work with a shared project

   Practise central and local model workflows using supplied files. Explore worksets, element borrowing, synchronising and relinquishing ownership, with clear habits for working as a team.

4. 04

   Manage existing and proposed work

   Set up phases and phase filters for existing, demolition and new construction. Check element phase settings and create views that communicate each stage of the project.

5. 05

   Explore design alternatives

   Create and compare design options, manage option visibility and select a preferred solution. Use model groups for suitable repeated layouts and understand where they need careful control.

6. 06

   Develop a conceptual massing study

   Build a simple conceptual mass and examine its form in the project. Use mass faces to generate selected building elements and explore how design changes affect the resulting model.

7. 07

   Structure project information

   Choose between project and shared parameters for a defined information need. Develop a schedule or material take-off with calculated values, formatting and checks against the model.

8. 08

   Check and prepare the model for issue

   Review warnings, links and unused content, and discuss audit, backup and model-maintenance routines. Prepare a controlled export and check the resulting drawings or IFC model against the intended issue requirements.

1. 01

   Plan the family

   Compare system, loadable and in-place families. Choose a suitable category, template and hosting approach, then define the purpose, dimensions and controls for a simple cabinet.

2. 02

   Build the parametric framework

   Set reference planes, dimensions and constraints in the Family Editor. Add type and instance parameters, name them clearly and test the framework before adding detailed geometry.

3. 03

   Create geometry and controls

   Build solid and void forms, assign material parameters and control visibility at different detail levels. Keep the geometry simple and connect it to the reference framework.

4. 04

   Test and reuse the family

   Create useful family types, add a simple formula and explore a nested component. Flex dimensions, load the family into a test project and resolve common constraint and placement problems.

5. 05

   Establish template standards

   Create a starter project template with units, object styles, lineweights, patterns and selected system-family types. Organise the Project Browser and introduce controlled transfer of project standards.

6. 06

   Prepare views and schedules

   Set up starter views, view templates and filters for consistent drawing output. Add a small set of reusable schedules and check how they behave when new model elements are added.

7. 07

   Connect titleblocks and project information

   Adapt a supplied titleblock and annotation content. Introduce shared parameters for a selected label or tag and test the information across the family, project and sheet.

8. 08

   Validate and package your resources

   Start a new project from the RTE template and test the RFA family, views, schedules and sheets. Review naming, version compatibility and unnecessary content, then organise the files for future use.
