The How To Guide To Building Autodesk Revit Families Volume I 2023

Autodesk® Revit® software is specifically built for Building Information Modeling (BIM), empowering design and construction professionals to bring ideas from concept to construction with a coordinated and consistent model-based approach. Autodesk® Revit® is a single application that includes features for architectural design, MEP and structural engineering, and construction. This GUIDE is intended for the BEGINNING and INTERMEDIATE REVIT users. This GUIDE can be used as a REFERENCE for the more ADVANCE REVIT user. Within this GUIDE, SESSIONS 1-3, and 6 guides the user on how to build a SIMPLE to INTERMEDIATE REVIT Family; SESSIONS 4,5,8,10 and 11 are optional SESSIONS that the user can learn to implement to enhance the dynamics of a REVIT Family; SESSIONS 7 and 9 are practice SESSIONS where the user learns how to implement a CHECK LIST, STEPS and other SESSIONS to build a REVIT Family; SESSIONS 12-13 are SESSIONS that are normally implemented after SESSIONS 1-3, and 6 are implemented. The author recommends that the user should use this GUIDE along with a current version of REVIT beginning with a 2014 Version to receive the full effect of the GUIDE.

This WORKBOOK is considered to be an extension of The How to Guide to Building Autodesk® Revit® Families Volume I, providing the user with ADDITIONAL Practice Problems. The problems within this WORKBOOK were derived to test the user's extensive comprehension of The How to Guide to Building Autodesk® Revit® Families Volume 1 training manual.

Residential Design Using Autodesk Revit 2023 is designed for users completely new to Autodesk Revit. This text takes a project based approach to learning Autodesk Revit’s architectural tools in which you develop a single family residence all the way to photorealistic renderings like the one on the cover. Each book also includes access to extensive video training designed to further help you master Autodesk Revit. The lessons begin with a basic introduction to Autodesk Revit 2023. The first four chapters are intended to get you familiar with the user interface and many of the common menus and tools. Throughout the rest of the book a residential building is created and most of Autodesk Revit’s tools and features are covered in greater detail. Using step-by-step tutorial lessons, the residential project is followed through to create elevations, sections, floor plans, renderings, construction sets, etc. About the Videos Access to extensive video training is also included with your purchase of this book. These videos break down each topic into several short videos so that you can easily navigate to a specific aspect of a tool or feature in Autodesk Revit. This makes the videos both a powerful learning tool and convenient video reference. The videos make it easy to see the menu selections and will make learning Revit straightforward and simple. It’s like having the author by your side showing you exactly how to use all the major tools in Autodesk Revit.

To take full advantage of Building Information Modeling, the Autodesk(R) Revit(R) 2023: Fundamentals for Structure guide has been designed to teach the concepts and principles of creating 3D parametric models of structural buildings from engineering design through construction documentation. This guide is intended to introduce you to the user interface and the basic building components of the software that makes Autodesk(R) Revit(R) a powerful and flexible structural modeling tool. The goal is to familiarize you with the tools required to create, modify, analyze, and document a parametric model. The examples and practices are designed to take you through the basics of a full structural project, from linking in an architectural model to construction documents. Topics Covered Introduction to the Autodesk Revit software. Navigating the Revit workspace and interface. Working with the basic sketching and modifying tools. Creating levels and grids as datum elements for the model. Understanding Revit families and components. Understanding the project browser and working with views. Starting a structural project based on a linked architectural model. Creating a 3D building model. Adding structural columns and walls. Adding foundations and structural slabs. Structural reinforcement. Beams, trusses, and framing systems. Analytical models and placing loads. Project practices to reinforce learning. Setting up sheets for plotting with text, dimensions, details, tags, and schedules. Creating details. Prerequisites Access to the 2023.0 version of the software, to ensure compatibility with this guide. Future software updates that are released by Autodesk may include changes that are not reflected in this guide. The practices and files included with this guide might not be compatible with prior versions (e.g., 2022). This guide introduces the fundamental skills in learning how to use the Autodesk Revit software, with a focus on the structural tools. It is highly recommended that students have experience and knowledge in structural engineering and its terminology.

Commercial Design Using Autodesk Revit 2023 is designed for the architectural student using Revit 2023. The intent is to provide you with a well-rounded knowledge of tools and techniques for use in both school and industry. This text takes a project based approach to learning Revit's architectural tools in which you develop a three story office building. Each book also includes access to nearly 100 video tutorials designed to further help you master Autodesk Revit. General building codes and industry standard conventions are covered in a way that is applicable to the current exercise. The first two chapters are intended to get you familiar with the user interface and many of the common menus and tools of Revit 2023. A small office is created in chapter two to show you just how easy it is to get started using Autodesk Revit. By the end of chapter two you will be excited and prepared to take on a much larger project. Throughout the rest of the book you develop a three story office building. The drawings start with the floor plans and develop all the way to photo-realistic renderings like the one on the cover of this book. In these chapters many of the architectural tools and features of Revit 2023 are covered in greater detail. About the Videos Access to nearly 100 videos, almost five hours of content, are also included with your purchase of this book. These videos break down each topic into several short videos so that you can easily navigate to a specific aspect of a tool or feature in Autodesk Revit. This makes the videos both a powerful learning tool and convenient video reference. The videos make it easy to see the menu selections and will make learning Revit straightforward and simple.
