“Today, our popular line-up of Revit curriculum now includes a guide solely focused on meeting the unique needs of residential architects and drafters,” says Paul Burden director of product development, ASCENT. It is the latest Revit 2021 title from ASCENT and is available in both print and eBook formats. It is highly recommended that students have experience and knowledge in structural engineering and its terminology.ASCENT- Center for Technical Knowledge has expanded its Autodesk Revit learning content for residential architects and drafters as well as for students and educators, by releasing a residential-dedicated Revit learning guide – Autodesk Revit 2021 Fundamentals for Residential Design.

This guide introduces the fundamental skills in learning how to use the Autodesk Revit software, with a focus on the structural tools.

The practices and files included with this guide might not be compatible with prior versions (e.g., 2020). Future software updates that are released by Autodesk may include changes that are not reflected in this guide.

Access to the 2021.0 version of the software, to ensure compatibility with this guide.

Project practices to reinforce learning.

Adding foundations and structural slabs.

Starting a structural project based on a linked architectural model.Introduction to the Autodesk Revit software.

The examples and practices are designed to take you through the basics of a full structural project, from linking in an architectural model to construction documents. The goal is to familiarize you with the tools required to create, modify, analyze, and document a parametric model.

This guide is intended to introduce you to the user interface and the basic building components of the software that makes Autodesk(R) Revit(R) a powerful and flexible structural modeling tool. To take full advantage of Building Information Modeling, the Autodesk(R) Revit(R) 2021: Fundamentals for Structure guide has been designed to teach the concepts and principles of creating 3D parametric models of structural buildings from engineering design through construction documentation.
