Revit Course for Beginners - Revit Tutorials to Learn BIM Fast | Part 1 - Setup

Complete Revit Course for Beginners - 9 tutorials to learn Revit fast! (part 1/9)
Check out the full Revit course: successfularch...
In this full Revit course for beginners, you will learn Autodesk Revit. In 9 tutorials, you are going to learn how to design and model confidently using the industry’s leading 3D BIM software, Revit.
In part 1, you'll learn how to set up a Revit model, learn about the interface and navigating around Revit, be introduced to levels and set them up for a three storey residential project, learn about phasing and insert + scale reference images such as floorplans.
If you have ever watched a Successful Archi Student KZbin video, you would have noticed that Kyle is engaging, informative and entertaining.
His fast-paced, to-the-point teaching style is aided by concise explanations, animations, images and exciting story telling.
What is Revit?
Revit is a BIM (building information modelling) software that creates intelligent 3D models of buildings which can be used to produce construction documentation drawings and design presentations.
Revit is a building-specific solution for design and documentation and is currently the industry’s leading software for BIM.
Revit is used for conceptual design, 3D parametric modelling, detailed design documentation, multi-discipline coordination, modelling building components, analysing and simulating systems and structures, iterating and visualising architectural designs, building performance analysis and more.
Why learn Revit?
Revit not only allows architects to design and model 3D solutions, but the BIM software also allows for seamless collaboration between disciplines which makes working with structural engineers, other designers, and MEP consultants incredibly efficient.
Why learn Revit with Kyle?
Let’s face it. Learning new software is often complicated and difficult. Doing it by yourself makes it even harder, but it doesn’t need to be that way. In this course, you will be learning from a Master’s student who has practical Revit experience across three architectural firms (which all use Revit as a main design and documentation tool). You will be able to follow along to learn the skills and confidence you need to use the software efficiently in a professional setting.
You can spend days, weeks or months learning Revit by yourself, and not necessarily learning it the right way. In Kyle’s 4-hour course, you can fast-track that journey to gain the skills to design and model in Revit at a professional level.
Most online Revit tutorials or courses are boring, slow going and demonstrate incorrect practices. Trust me, I’ve found that out the hard way. If you’ve watched Kyle’s videos before, you’d know that these Revit tutorials are fun, fast and easy to follow.

For someone as dumb as me that sucks at figuring things out. I'm thankful that your making this and making it easy to understand and not pressing buttons that nobody knows about without telling us.

[@kylesinko]

Glad you find it helpful! Thanks for watching

[@cookiemochi2176]

I’m an interior designer worked on CAD most my career of 15 years. This really helped getting my feet wet for Revit projects at work. Thank you for very clear and comprehensive first tutorial!

[@kylesinko]

That's awesome! Thanks for tuning in, I'm glad it was helpful

[@giovanigraham4319]

Im in exactly the same boat, been working on CAD/Sketchup for years and they say you need to unlearn what you've learned to be able to do Revit, hench why I was always scared of exploring this beast but the more you get the hang of it the easier it becomes. Especially self tough becomes cloudy sometimes, your video put me at ease!!

[@KingcadeHome]

I work as an interior designer in Sydney while also pursuing my studies in building design. I'm thrilled to have come across your KZbin videos and have just purchased all three Revit courses!

I’m a Landscape architect student at QUT, and we generally steer clear of 3D modelling on our projects and stick to autocad, would be nice if they started teaching more of this BIM stuff.

May you Kyle Sinko be blessed more. More Power to you and thank you for this effort to be an instrument to those people who at first afraid of this software.

Lol, had the exact same experience when I was 10yo. Ran to the shed to get something. In the meantime my mom closed to sliding door. And I was in full sprint on the way back. Actually jumped the final part, planning to jump inside. Big bang. Nose first on the glass. Rebounded back 2m. And then sitting on the garden tiles all surprised like "wtf happened". xD

Kyle, i want to say thank you for uploading this series of Revit Tutorials. Being a floor & truss designer, i am trying to learn Revit so i can start designing homes for myself. One question i had tho, was the 1st height. I noticed you mention the porch/front entrance being 0mm but then the 1st level being 1400mm which was based off 7 (200mm) risers. At 21:22 you can see the floor plan & it shows 4 risers up to the landing/ 1st level. That being said , the 1st floor is actually 800mm above the front entrance. Let me know if i am understanding this correctly. I would greatly appreciate your response. Thank you nonetheless. Love from Canada 🇨🇦
