Revit Architecture: Utopia project part 1

Description

In this introduction, I will introduce the core concept for this project, which is to create a shared living housing plan using the Revit Architecture program.

In this course, students will learn how to review floor plans and collect building information, such as dimensions.

In the Revit Architecture program, we will start setup Datum Elements – Levels, which is a horizontal plane running parallel to the ground, we build levels in Elevation to define vertical heights, such as footing, ground level, and ceiling. Level 2, ceiling, roof, etc.

We will set up Datum Elements – Grids, which run vertically throughout the building, they define locations in space and intersection.

And we will set up Dimension to mark the distance between walls and floors, and references to our floor plan, this will be useful during project workflow.

Then, we will start creating Exterior Walls, Interior Walls with Material, and define the basic color scheme; and we will setup Doors and Windows for each one of the buildings, which we call Wings, ex: East Wing represent the east side of the building, and then set up material to match the color scheme.

And then we will build straight stairs and L shape Stairs with Railing and setup materials in each Loft, Kitchen and Dining room, and stairs to the Patios.

So let’s begin this fun learning process.

Who this course is for:

• This 5 part course is for any designer looking to exercise their skills and practice the workflow and complete a project.
