Introduction: This tutorial is conceived to allow an easy start with Autodesk Revit Architecture and to get an extensive overview of the BIM based work.
"Getting Started" is the first Tutorial of a series of three Tutorials for Autodesk Revit Architecture 2011. The Tutorials "Advanced Detailing" and „ Professional Mass Modeling “ are based on this first Tutorial and give you a deep insight into Autodesk Revit Architecture.
Information:The files were optimized for demonstration purposes, we recommend to use the matching file to every video.
We recommend to use the latest version of Autodesk Revit Architecture for this training.
You can find more learning documents and useful information on the Autodesk® Education Community.
The videos were optimized for Microsoft® Windows Media player. We recommend watching the videos in full screen mode.
The complete building is available. (RAC_2011_ENU_Tutorial_1.rvt). To comprehend the steps individually use the Revit Architecture files (step_xx.rvt) for each video.
1
Step 02Grid & levels
Grid‐ create 5 vertical grid lines
grid line 1 (3m, distance), grid line 2‐5 (10m distance) ‐ rename grid line‐ create 5 horizontal grid lines
start > floor > structural floorlock the floor boundaries to the grid
Step 03Walls, columns & floor modifications
Walls‐ draw wallstype: generic 300mmbase offset : level 1top offset: level 3lock the walls to the grid lines
‐ change typeselect the wall chainelement properties > type: curtain wall: standard
‐ in the view: east, copy the floor in level 2 and 3
Columns‐ place columnsstart > column > structural columnelement properties > type: M_Concrete‐Square‐Column 500mm x 500mmoption bar > height: level 3
‐ place columns on the grid lines intersectionsselect grid lines
Edit floor boundaries‐ extend floormodify > edit boundarymove the left boundary to the grid line 1lock boundary to the grid line
‐ join geometry

Step 04Split element, match properties, attach element to top
Wallsopen level 3 view
‐ draw wallstype: Curtain Wall: Standardtop constraint: up to level 6
‐ align walls to the grid lineslock constraint
Paste aligned to selected levels‐ copy floorwith Ctrl+C copy the floor to the clipboard
‐ paste floorpaste aligned to selected levelsselect level 3, 4 und 5
Split element and match type properties‐ changing wall typeselect the walls of the north and west facadechange the element properties into type: Exterior Wall – Wood Panels
‐ split the wall in the east facadeselect wall
‐ match type propertiesfist select the wall of the north facade(type: Exterior Wall – Wood Panels)then the splitted wall of the south facade
Attach columns to topselect all columns
‐ attach columns to the top floor
3
Step 05Interior walls, trim / extend elements & doors
Interior walls‐ draw walls element properties > type: Basic Wand: Generic ‐ 300mm base constraint: level 3top constraint: level 4
‐ trim/extend wallsmodify > trim/extend to corner
‐ set the same distance between walls‐ dimensionsset a dimension to the interior wallsactivate the EQ‐Symbol
‐ create the kitchentype: Basic Wall Interior – Blockwork 140draw a rectangle: 5 x 8.5mcreate fillet arch's
Doors‐ place doortype: M_Single‐Flush 0915 x 2134 mmPlace doorchange the opening direction with the space bar
Shaft opening‐ create a shaft openingdraw the shaft boundaries around the stairelement properties > base constraint: level 1element properties > top constraint: Level 4

Step 07railings & modification of curtain walls
Railings‐ create railingsdraw a railing in level 2element properties > type: Glas ‐MPK
Modification of curtain walls‐ create a curtain griddraw grid line
Edit site‐ edit surfaceselect siteselect points and set the height to 0.00 m
‐ draw the roadmassing & site> subregionsketch the roadelement properties > material: Site – Tarmacadam
‐ creating the river sidemassing & site > split surfacedraw the river side with spline toolelement properties > material: site – waterchange the render appearance
Building pad‐ add a building padmassing & site > building padsketch the pad
Place site component‐ add site componentschoose and place treeschange tree types
7
Step 09 Groups, rooms & room tags, color scheme
Groups‐ copy furniture‐ create a groupcopy group
‐ edit groupselect the furniturechange the furniture type
‐ duplicate groupremove elements from the groupdelete elements from the group
Rooms‐ add roomstart > roomname the room
‐ calculate the room volume‐ place predefined rooms‐ change the walls properties to: non room bounding
Room separation lines‐ add a separation linesketch lineplace room
Color scheme‐ create a color schemecreate a color scheme from the names
‐ add legend
Room schedule‐ change the floor finish in the room schedule
8
Step 10Dimensions
Create dimensions‐ place a dimensionsset a dimension between individual references change references
Step 11Wall construction, wall wrapping, schedules, tag elements, section
Wall construction & wall joints‐ change the wall constructionselect an exterior wallinsert two layersassign material and thicknessactivate wall wrapping at inserts and at the ends
Tag elements‐ tag doorstag by categoryclick on a doortag alldoor tags – M_Door Tag
‐ create a voidmove surface/edges/pointscopy the void 6 times with a distance of 7m
Model by facetype: curtain wall solar protectionselect surfacecreate system
Step 14Sun path, camera & navigation wheel, render properties
Sun path‐ activate sun pathview control bar > sun path activateedit daylight
Create camera & object wheel‐ create a 3D‐view‐ select object wheelzoom, orbit, pan…
Rendering‐ set render propertiesquality: mediumresolution: Printer 150 DPILighting: Exterior: Sun onlyBackground style: Sky: Few Clouds

Getting Started – Video Tutorials
Instructor HandoutCreated by: Marvi Basha, Klaus Hyden und Philipp MüllerAutodesk® Student Experts TU Graz, AustriaSeptember 2010
Introduction: This tutorial is dedicated to the detail planning. In the next 12 steps you will learn how to draw details and you will see how easy it is to create the construction documentation.
“Advanced Detailing” is the second tutorial of a series of 3 tutorials for Revit Architecture 2011. This tutorial is based on the first tutorial “Getting Started”. To learn more important features of Revit 2011, we recommend you to watch the 3rd
tutorial “Professional mass modeling”.
Information:The files were optimized for demonstration purposes, we recommend to use the matching file to every video.
We recommend to use the latest version of Autodesk Revit Architecture for this training.
You can find more learning documents and useful information on the Autodesk® Education Community.
The videos were optimized for Microsoft® Windows Media player. We recommend watching the videos in full screen mode.
The complete building is available. (RAC_2011_ENU_Tutorial_2.rvt). To comprehend the steps individually use the Revit Architecture files (step_xx.rvt) for each video.

Import CAD‐ Insert > import CAD
File: additional files/ siteplan.dwgLayers: specify…Import units: centimeterPositioning: auto – center to centerPlace at: level 1
‐ Specify layers: building borderhouse numberregion roughstreet borderstreet name
Import DWG site plan‐ Modify > scaleNumerical: 100Contextual tab > QueryDelete layers: building border
house numberregion roughstreet border
Project north and true north‐ Draw a help construction of linesRotate the site orthogonal to the project and set the project northRotate back to the true northRotate site plan to 4,5°
Create site model‐ Create a In‐place modelFamily category: generic modelCreate extrusionSketch the site buildings with lines

Step 03Reference line, freeform surface, revolve mass
Reference line‐ Draw reference line in level 1‐ Set work planeSelect the vertical work plane of the reference line
‐ Draw and then copy a spline
Freeform surface‐ Select all lines and create formX‐RayEdit splineRotate surface in the right viewHost: not associated
Revolve‐ Draw reference line‐ Set vertical work planeDraw a vertical line as axisDraw profile
‐ RevolveEdit massCopy mass
‐ Join geometry

Step 04Swept blend mass, dissolve mass, spline through points
Create sweep‐ Draw a path through lines, spline or arch‐ Add reference point‐ Select reference point and draw profile‐ create sweep
Dissolve mass‐ Edit profileChange path
‐ Add profileRotate profile
‐ Dissolve massChange profilesCreate swept blend mass
Spline through points‐ Create 3D splineCreate a 3D path around an existing building using the 3d snappingSelect reference pointDraw triangle
‐ Create void

Step 05Divide surface, surface patterns, adaptive elements
Divide and cut surface‐ Select the freeform surface and edit massModify > Edit in place
‐ Select and divide surface Modify > divide surface
Edit gridU grid: distance 2mV grid: distance 5mRotate grid lines with 10°Deactivate v grid lines
Intersects‐ Draw grid lineDraw lines
‐ Divide the surface using the drawn linesModify > IntersectsMake lines unvisible
