Autodesk Revit 2025: Fundamentals for Structure (Metric Units)

Please note: The print version of this guide is printed in black and white with images in grayscale. To take full advantage of Building Information Modeling, the Autodesk® Revit® 2025: Fundamentals for Structure guide has been designed to teach the concepts and principles of creating 3D parametric models of structural buildings from engineering design through construction documentation. This guide is intended to introduce you to the user interface and the basic building components of the software that make Autodesk® Revit® a powerful and flexible structural modeling tool. The goal is to familiarize you with the tools required to create, modify, analyze, and document a parametric model. The examples and practices are designed to take you through the basics of a full structural project, from linking in an architectural model to construction documents. Topics Covered Introduction to the Autodesk Revit software, including navigating the Revit interface Starting a structural project based on a linked architectural model and creating levels and grids as datum elements for the model Understanding the project browser and working with views Understanding Revit families and components Working with the basic sketching and modifying tools Adding structural columns to a project and copying and monitoring elements from linked models Adding foundations and footings Creating structural framing, including beams, trusses, and framing systems Creating slabs for foundations, structural floors, and roofs Creating structural reinforcement, including placing rebar and adding fabric reinforcement Setting up sheets and placing and modifying views on sheets Working with dimensions, text, annotations, and legends Adding tags and working with schedules Setting up detail views and adding detail components Prerequisites Access to the 2025.0 version of the software, to ensure compatibility with this guide. Future software updates that are released by Autodesk may include changes that are not reflected in this guide. The practices and files included with this guide might not be compatible with prior versions (e.g., 2024). This guide introduces the fundamental skills in learning how to use the Autodesk Revit software, with a focus on the structural tools. It is highly recommended that students have experience and knowledge in structural engineering and its terminology. —- ISBN: 9781962037433 | ISBN10: 1962037436 | ISBN-13: 978-1962037433
