Complete Revit structure course for beginners

Learn Revit Structure from grids, columns, and foundations to rebar detailing and documentation sheets, for beginners starting out in structural modeling.

<h3>About this course</h3>In this course, you build a complete reinforced concrete structure in Revit, moving from project setup through modeling, reinforcement, and documentation. You start by linking a CAD drawing, positioning it, and hiding its layers, then define straight and multi-segment grids. Modeling takes up the first large block of the course: you place structural columns and beams, create a basement level with walls, add slabs and pad and wall foundations, cut shaft openings, generate levels automatically with Dynamo, and model a monolithic staircase and shear walls. The second block covers reinforcement. You set rebar and concrete cover settings for every element, then place rebar in foundations, columns, beams, slabs, walls, and stairs, using ties, stirrups, hooks, area reinforcement, and sketched rebar, with propagation and constraints for overlapping bars. Visibility filters and view templates keep your rebar views readable. The final block turns the model into structural drawings. You set up sheets and customized titleblocks, place viewports, sections, callouts, tags, and 3D views, and build detailed reinforcement sheets for beams, walls, slabs, and the staircase. You also upgrade the project from Revit 2023 to Revit 2025, create rebar and rebar weight schedules, add splice and bending details, and print sheets to PDF. Most modules end with a quiz, and a closing lesson helps you prepare for the Revit structural exam.<h2>Who should take this course</h2>This course is for you if you are new to Revit Structure and want to model, reinforce, and document a concrete building from start to finish. It suits civil and structural engineering students, junior structural engineers, and CAD drafters moving from 2D drawings into Revit who need to produce rebar details and structural sheets. It also fits detailers and technicians who want a structured, project-based path through reinforcement detailing, schedules, and drawing output in Revit.<h3>Prerequisites</h3>The course starts from the beginning and requires no prior Revit experience. You will need access to Revit to follow along, and a basic understanding of structural elements such as columns, beams, slabs, and foundations will help.
