What Level Is This Course?
This course is designed for architects, designers, drafstpersons, engineers, builders and even the motivated homeowner.
Anyone interested in learning how to design better AND do it all in Revit.
While there are some refresher videos to remind you of some basics here and there, you should be familiar with Revit basics to take full advantage of this course.
If you have done one project in Revit, you'll probably be OK. If you need a beginner course, check out Residential Architecture with Revit: Volume I below.

Building Science
Did I mention insulation?! You can't design a home, or even a wall, without understanding thermal envelope requirements. So we'll cover insulation requirements, rainscreens, conditioned attics and more!
Existing Revit Stuff Courses
Volume I and Volume II will get you up to speed and working efficiently.
