1 – Aims

The aims of this training are as follows:

• Getting general information about Revit.
• To have knowledge about modeling of single geometric structures with this program.
• Creating a model of a single architectural structure.

2 – Learning methodology

The teacher will give an explanation about the general structure of Revit for 10 minutes.

Students will read this tutorial and watch the videos.

Students will create their own parametric models by following the steps shown in the videos.

Each student will write a report to evaluate the success of the application.

3 – Tutorial duration

The application described in this tutorial will be performed in a computer classroom.

It will take 3 lesson hours.

4 – Necessary teaching resources

A computer room with computers with internet access is required.

Required software: Revit

Required equipment: PCs sufficient for the number of students.

5 – Contents

5.1 – Introduction

5.2 – Modelling process

5.3 – Application Scope

5.4 – Tips before modelling

5.5 – What is the RFA format?

5.6 – What is Revit?

5.7 – Video

6 – Deliverables

In order to evaluate the success of the application, students will write a report of maximum 3 pages.

In this report, the student will explain the steps taken in practice, the difficulties encountered and the decisions taken. The report will contain the visuals of the single geometric model made.

7 – What we have learned

• Revit interface
• To create the axes, columns, walls, floors, foundation and roof of a single geometric structure and to place the door, window, staircase, railing and furnishing elements with Revit.
• The ability to edit the elements we have placed and add elements that do not already exist.
