Revit Roadmap For
Architects
OVERALL GOALS
Master Revit to:
- 🔹 Build models from concept to technical details
- 🔹 Present professional architectural documentation
- 🔹 Collaborate across disciplines (MEP, Structure)
- 🔹 Apply Dynamo for enhanced productivity & creative geometry
Phase 1: Fundamentals – Architectural Modeling
Goal: Understand BIM workflow and model basic architectural projects
Phase 2: Intermediate – Documentation & Families
Goal: Produce full technical drawings & customize families as needed
Phase 3: Massing & Conceptual Design
Goal: Use Revit as a conceptual design tool
Phase 4: Coordination & Project Management
Goal: Collaborate across teams and ensure data integrity
Phase 5: Dynamo For Architects
