Revit 2025 Essential Training for Structure (Imperial and Metric)

Course details

Revit Structure is the leading software in the structural engineering design industry, offering cutting-edge tools for designing solid structures and publishing clear, easy-to-share documentation. This course focuses on the major components of Revit 2025 used for structural design, featuring examples in both metric and imperial units of measurement. Instructor Eric Wing covers the fundamentals through advanced topics, getting you well on your way to mastering the subject. Eric starts with linking architectural trade models. From there, begin creating views and monitoring elements from the architectural model. Once this is established, you’re ready to start modeling. Adding grids and levels is followed by steel framing then complete foundation systems. Learn about reinforcing, sheet detailing, as well as data collection such as schedules and tagging information.

Learning objectives
Utilize tools within Revit to coordinate tasks with other trades.
Create structural views and sheets.
Model steel columns, foundations, and framing.
Extract data such as schedules and material takeoffs.
