Autodesk Revit Structure 2011 Tutorials

These brief video tutorials are designed to get you started using Autodesk Revit. The videos in the Revit Basic Concepts category are recorded using one Revit discipline. However, the concepts and procedures apply to all Revit disciplines. Additional videos are designed to introduce a topic or procedure that is specific to Revit Structure.

Revit Basic Concepts

Getting Started in Revit
Introduces the Revit user interface and helps you get up and running with Revit.

Modeling in Revit
Presents the concept of modeling in 3D while creating a full description of the building.

Working with a Common Model
Illustrates that views are not simply static representations of the building model.

Using Revit Families
Provides an overview of using Revit families to add content to a building model, including how to load a family, select a type, and place an instance.

Understanding Constraints
Introduces how constraints, such as dimensions and alignment can control the design intent of your model.

Working with Parameters
Demonstrates that every object in a building model has properties that affect both its behavior and description. Also shows how to modify object properties.

Controlling Visual Representation
Introduces some of the ways to customize the visual representation of the model for the view.

Exploring Model versus Annotation Components
Illustrates that model components display in all views, while annotations (such as tags and dimensions) only display in the view in which they are placed.

Linking Models
Provides information on how to link building models in Revit to aid collaboration across architectural, structural, and MEP disciplines.

Managing View Windows
Demonstrates how to open and arrange view windows in Revit.

Controlling Visibility and Graphic Display
Demonstrates how to check for and override visibility and graphic settings of elements and element categories.

Creating Section Views
Demonstrates how to create a section view.

Creating Elevation Views
Demonstrates how to create an elevation view.

Sketching
Demonstrates when sketching is required to create geometry, such as slabs and roofs, in Revit.

Using Images in Revit
Illustrates importing, resizing, and placing an image file for use in a Revit project.

Understanding Revit Server
Presents the concept behind Revit Server, and demonstrates how to connect to Revit Server, and the Revit Server Administrator.

Revit Structure Concepts

Working with Hosted Components
Demonstrates that host components (such as beams, roofs, and walls) are required for placement of hosted components.

Introducing the Analytical Model and Loads
Shows how the analytical model can be used to analyze the structural integrity of the building model.

Creating Frame Modeling
Demonstrates the procedure and tools used to create beam systems and trusses.

Using the Rebar Shape Browser
See how to add rebar to concrete elements, and how to change and modify the shape and type of rebar.
