From the course: Revit 2019: Essential Training for Architecture (Metric)

Welcome

- [Paul] My name is Paul F. Aubin, and welcome to this course where we'll cover all of the essential skills that you need to know to use Revit for architecture. Revit is the widely recognized industry standard computer application for architects and building design professionals. In this course, we'll learn about building information modeling, or BIM, as we explore what Revit has to offer. We'll explore the basics, like walls, columns, doors and windows, and we'll build floor slabs and roofs and learn how these forms interact with other elements, such as the surrounding walls, elevator shafts, or even dormers in meaningful ways. And what building would be complete without stairs, railings, and plumbing and lighting fixtures? We'll even create our own custom pool table component completely from scratch. But Revit is not just about modeling, I'll show you how you can annotate your projects with text and dimensions and other standard architectural symbols. Revit allows us to generate live schedule views of just about any part of our building model to access critical design information. We'll create construction details, and even compose sheets for printing out complete document sets. So if you're ready to begin your journey into the world of building information modeling and Revit architecture, then you've come to the right place. So let's get started.
