In this beginner Intro to Revit course, you’ll explore how information is connected throughout a Revit (BIM) model using Revit Architecture tools. Learn to create 3D building models that automatically generate 2D architectural drawings, including floor plans, elevations, and 3D perspectives. You’ll work from a pre-made template to build a complete Building Information Model, place views on sheets, and export drawings to PDF. The course provides source Revit files and step-by-step instructional videos to guide you through each stage of the project.

• Understand core Revit concepts and their role in Building Information Modeling (BIM).
• Navigate and utilize the Revit User Interface effectively.
• Build a 3D model to see how project information is connected throughout the design.
• Apply proper workflows to complete Revit tasks efficiently.
• Develop a complete project with floors, walls, ceilings, stairs, curtain walls, and roofs to enhance 3D modeling and 2D documentation skills.
• Produce high-quality presentation graphics for architectural projects.
• Organize and manage building data using schedules.

This course gives interior designers a solid foundation in color theory, combining the science and art of color. Students will learn how perception, systems, harmonies, and psychology shape effective design choices across physical and digital environments. By the end, participants will be able to confidently create, present, and apply inclusive, brand-aligned color palettes in professional projects.

• Understand how light, vision, and materials affect color perception
• Master the color wheel, harmonies, and contrast
• Apply color systems like RGB, CMYK, and Hex
• Use psychology and cultural meaning to inform palettes
• Design for accessibility, legibility, and inclusivity
• Build professional, brand-aligned color palettes

This course introduces the core materials used in interior design, including masonry, wood, glass, metals, synthetics, and acoustic treatments, with an emphasis on how designers evaluate and specify finishes in real projects. The course is designed for aspiring and practicing interior designers who want a structured, materials-focused foundation that supports professional design decision-making.

• Evaluate interior materials based on performance, durability, maintenance, and design intent
• Apply masonry, concrete, stone, and brick finishes in functional and decorative interior applications
• Select and specify glass, ceramics, plaster, and gypsum materials for walls, floors, and surfaces
• Understand wood species, engineered wood products, millwork, and cabinetry detailing
• Assess metals, synthetics, laminates, and composite materials for modern interior environments
• Interpret acoustic principles and select finishes that support sound control and user comfort

In this online intermediate BIM course, you will build on your Revit Architecture skills by learning advanced techniques for documenting a building project. You’ll refine an existing Revit model, explore design options, create custom schedules, develop 2D and 3D parametric families, and produce a streamlined set of construction documents. By the end of the course, you’ll be able to transform a conceptual model into a fully integrated and interoperable construction document set.

• Incorporate DWG files to enhance Revit details and drawings.
• Apply element tagging for accurate cost estimation and material take-offs.
• Utilize design options to present and compare multiple design scenarios.
• Develop 3D parametric families for reusable building components.
• Create customized schedules for doors, materials, and rooms to support construction documentation and take-offs.
• Implement BIM project management strategies to maintain efficient, well-organized models.
