Mastering Revit for Construction Documents: A Comprehensive Guide in BIM Course

CD Set Essentials in Revit

Sheet Setup

Title blocks, sheet numbering, drawing list — standardize across the project.

View Templates

Lock visibility, scale, and graphics so views stay consistent.

Schedules

Door, window, finish, room schedules pull live from the model.

Annotation Standards

Tags, dimensions, text styles — match the office CAD standard.

Hey everyone, and welcome to BIM 301. In this course, we're going to take the skills and knowledge we learned in the previous courses and apply them to learn how to use Revit for creating construction documents. This course is going to be broken down into two parts, the Midterm and the Final.

For the Midterm, we're going to go through and create an existing building based on PDF and CAD files. You can see here we'll have a PDF of the existing building elevations, and we'll have the CAD file of the floor plans.

It's pretty common to be able to get CAD files of floor plans, but not necessarily the elevations. We'll just have to use that information to model the existing building. The next part of the course is going to be creating demolition plans based on the information we need to create the new design or the revised entrance to the building.

We're going to do that by identifying portions of the building to be demolished. We'll have floor plans to illustrate that. So these are our First Floor Plan, Second Floor Plan, and even our Roof Plan.

Then we'll jump into creating the new design, which is going to define our scope of work. You can see here we're breaking it down to only isolating this lobby area. We'll create a First Floor Plan, Second Floor Plan, and Roof Plan to show that.

We'll also have a Ceiling Plan, which breaks down the different components that we're going to want to illustrate. So specialized lighting, specialty ceilings, and even a canopy that we're going to use. I'm going to use that information to create new Elevations, new Building Sections, a Feature Stair, and then we'll even take it to the next level, apply materials and create a rendering that we can use for presentation purposes.

This course has a lot packed into a short period. We're going to want to make sure that we are reviewing the videos multiple times and also taking a look at some of the reading assignments to help fill in the gaps. So looking forward to diving into our first lesson, we are going to start out by creating that new model based on those existing drawings.
