Quick Start for Revit Architecture
Autodesk® Revit® Architecture software is a 3D architectural design application. It enables you to
create building models using complex components and elements that you can define and edit.
In the following exercises, you learn how to create models using both abstract shapes and real-life
components, such as walls.
You also view the models you create in various representations, export images from the models, and
set up to print pages.

Standards
Autodesk® Design Academy curriculum meets content standards for Science, Technology, Engineering,
Math (STEM), and Language Arts. To review the list of standards for each lesson, view the National
Academic Standards Cross Reference PDF document.
This lesson relates to science, technology, engineering, and math standards.
Design with Building Elements
Designs for buildings, such as single-family residences, are often started by sketching walls rather
than defining the three-dimensional shape of a building and then translating parts of that shape into
building elements.
All building designs aim to fulfill some combination of (possibly conflicting) requirements that need
to be balanced by the designer. In the case of a family dwelling, for instance, locating bedrooms up
a flight of stairs may make them quieter but cause accessibility problems for very old or very young
residents.
Characteristics of the building site are also of paramount importance in good building design. For
example, a sprawling one-story plan could be inappropriate on a steeply sloped lot.
Units 4 through 7 cover in detail how to create walls, doors, windows, stairs, and roofs. In this
exercise, you sketch the exterior walls of a single-story residential building on a flat site; add interior
walls to define rooms; and then add windows, doors, and a roof.
Massing
Masses are abstract representations of basic building shapes. Zoning compliance study is a common
use for representing mass. Building footprint, volume, and shape can all fall under the rule of building
codes or urban authorizing bodies. Once a building shape is determined, building elements can be
associated automatically.
Mass Families
Autodesk Revit Architecture masses can be created in place by sketching profiles and defining size
properties, or by loading predefined shapes from a library.

Transmit the Design
Completed building designs are considered legal documents, since they govern extremely complicated
contractual arrangements and concern the health and safety of those who construct and inhabit
buildings. Construction documents contain explicit instructions from a variety of sources, so designers
are careful not only to ensure that their instructions are correct, but also that the company that
specifies a set of instructions is identified. Each firm that issues construction document pages uses its
own title block, or page border, which contains information about the company and the views on the
page.
Title blocks and sheet views are covered in Unit 3.
Presentation Drawings
Views of building design models are often useful before elaborate documentation is added. A
presentation view of a proposed building shown to the client or a review board early in the design
process can save time and effort in explaining concept or detail, or even be crucial to the success of a
project.
