Designing Home Plans with Revit examines the modeling and design documentation process of a single-story home in Revit. Brian Myers shows how to build plans for a ranch-style home, starting with the very basics: creating levels. He'll then add a foundation and roof, walls, doors and windows, columns and beams, and details like countertops, lighting, and utilities. By the end of the course, designers will have not only built a model of a welcoming home, but also created camera views and multiple sheets in the design documentation set, including sections, details, and schedules.
