Modeling for Parametric Buildings with Revit

A parametric building is a design that has been manipulated using parameters, where just one single variable has the power to completely change the end result. In this course, architect and Revit expert Arturo Bustíos Casanova teaches you how to use this powerful software to model these types of buildings.

Your teacher walks you through how to work on a six-floor parametric construction with four department types. Complete your final piece with images, videos, and different graphic views to infuse your project with personality and realism. If you'd like to learn more on the subject, you might also be interested in Arturo's previous course 3D Architectural Design and Modeling with Revit.

Start the course by getting to know Arturo Bustíos Casanova a little better. He talks about some of his professional milestones as an architect and Revit expert and also shares some of the biggest influences on his creative development.

Get an overview of Revit's interface and commands. Learn how to design the department type using key categories such as "walls", "floor", and "ceilings". Create the kitchen using on-the-spot modeling commands and see how to convert the Revit file into an externally linked file for developing your parametric building.

Discover how to create different department types using your initial design. Model the floor type before recreating it on other floors until you reach the roof, where can add the finishing touches to the top part of the building. Then, make your way back down the building and model the staircase and elevator. Head down to the ground floor, where you model the interior spaces and structure. Wrap up the design by adding curtain walls and placing the building on its plot using "earthwork" revision and tables.

See how to give your parametric design a more solid identity by creating a corrugated, all-round facade with "in-place massing". Artuto provides you with predesigned templates to get graphic views such as exploited isometrics, 3D views, elevations, videos, and floor views to help make your final project as impressive as possible.

Create a six-floor parametric construction with four department types to present along with images, videos, and a clear visual identity.

Architects, designers, and anyone in the construction field who wants to discover the secrets to modeling with Revit.

Previous experience with Revit is necessary for this course.

In terms of materials, you need a computer with Windows 7 (or later) compatible with Revit 2021 (or later), which you will also need access to, whether the full or trial version. You can check the technical specifications on the official Autodesk Revit website. If you are working with an earlier version of Revit you will not be able to open the tasks or reference files, although these are not essential for the course.
