Conceptual Design for Architects
Get the broad outlines of function and form of the design faster by using more tools found in the AEC Collection. Learn how various tools can help you articulate your design ideas faster while saving you time later by reducing rework.
Before you start
- Please make sure you have the FormIT software loaded.
- If you have technical difficulties, please reach out to product support.
Course modules
Modeling the conceptual design in FormIt helps you work more efficiently within the Autodesk ecosystem. Learn how to use the browser based modeling in FormIt to be able to access work at anytime.
Articulating the conceptual design using forms in Revit helps you quickly visualize the design without having to start from scratch when you are ready to start creating walls, floors, and roofs. Learn tips and tricks for using massing tools in Revit to articulate the building design faster.
With design options, a team can develop, evaluate, and redesign building components and rooms within a single project file. Learn how to develop sets of design options for your building model to help your customers better visualize the project so you can start winning better work.
You will learn how to be more efficient by creating room data sheets that automatically populate information from rooms, masses and other native Revit components.

Reviewing your project's design and documentation is a critical task for ensuring project success. You must get feedback from other design team members, approving parties, and the client. Communicating that feedback so it is clear and understood is essential. In this module, learn how to add comments in the Revit model where it can be directly addressed.
Welcome to Leveraging the I in BIM Through Revit Parameters. Information, the “I” in BIM (Building Information Modeling) is one of the most powerful aspects of Revit. Basically, if you need information from the model, you access it using parameters.
The focus of this module is to leverage the I in BIM using schedules in Revit. Schedules in Revit can be used for working drawings, as well as analyzing and organizing your project. Creating schedules grabs the Information, the “I” in BIM (Building Information Modeling), from parameters and presents it in a logical format.
The focus of this module is to leverage the I in BIM using custom parameters in schedules in Revit. Schedules can include custom project, shared, calculated, and combined parameters that can stretch the information provided by your Revit model.
