The Revit Quick Start Guide helps you improve your skills. For first-time users, Key Revit concepts, Revit driver’s manual, and the User interface tour are a great place to start. If you already understand the fundamentals, the Basic tasks and Project management articles show you how to design in Revit. Finally, if you want to work with a larger project, the Sample project files show how to use Revit on a project.
Course modules
Learn where and how to perform common functions: open and arrange views of a model, modify element properties, use tools on the ribbon and the Quick Access toolbar, and change the view display on the View Control Bar.
Use the mouse wheel, Project Browser, or ViewCube to open a view and navigate to different areas of the model.
Use Revit predefined keyboard shortcuts or add your own key combinations.
Learn the capabilities and functionality of Revit's visibility and graphics settings.
Learn how the the elements you add to your Revit model are organized into families.
Learn how parameters define the size, shape, position, material, and other information about an element in the model.
Learn about elements in Revit.
Learn how to use the Modify tool to select elements and sets of elements in a model.
As you create or select geometry, Revit displays temporary dimensions around the element. You can use temporary dimensions to dynamically control the placement of elements.
Learn how to create a model in Revit.
Learn how to place model elements and annotation elements in project views, and understand the rules that govern their visibility.
Learn how to use levels in Revit, including how to place a level in a model, change the name and elevation of a level, and constrain the top and bottom of a wall to a level.
Place grid lines to help plan the building layout.
Control how levels and grids are displayed throughout your project and in specific views.
Several elements in Revit are sketched, but not all require sketch mode. Learn what the difference is and when sketch mode is needed.
Learn how to draw a boundary to define the edges of an element and edit a sketch.
Dimensions are view-specific annotation elements. Use them to indicate the location of a feature wall, or to display building width and length.
Place tags in a view as you add elements to the model or add tags to views later. Control and modify tag leaders and arrowheads.
See a model's exterior or interior elevation perspectives from four default template directions or other directions that you specify.
Create sections to provide cut-through views of specific parts of the model. Create callouts to show part of another view at a larger scale with more detail.
Create a schedule view when you want to easily see the parameters associated with the elements in the model.
Create a sheet for a construction document set. Learn how to place drawings and schedules on the sheet with the guide grid.
