Introduction to BIM & Revit

Revit interface & navigation tools

Project setup and templates

Levels and grids

Creating walls (types & properties)

Doors and windows placement

Basic modification tools (move, copy, align, trim)

Saving, exporting, and managing files

Practice:

Create a basic floor plan

Add walls, doors, and windows for a small building

Week 2: Building Elements & Floor Planning

Objective: Develop complete architectural layouts with structural components.

Topics Covered:

Floors: types, boundaries, and slopes
