Modeling for Parametric Buildings with Revit
A course by Arturo Bustíos Casanova , Architect
Learn to use Revit to model your architectural projects and get impressive designs
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.

FAQs
Revit is a BIM (Building Information Modeling) software used to design, model, and document architectural projects accurately and cohesively, making it easier to coordinate disciplines and efficiently manage building information.
This course is aimed at users with basic knowledge of architecture or 3D modeling, so it’s intermediate level. Prior familiarity with architectural concepts and design software is recommended.
You’ll need a computer with Revit installed (preferably the latest version), basic architectural knowledge, and CAD software skills. You don’t have to be an expert in Revit, but some prior 3D modeling experience is recommended.
You’ll learn how to model multi-story buildings in Revit, manage construction details, coordinate specialties, set up materials and facades, create custom templates, and streamline architectural documentation using advanced BIM tools.
Yes, the course includes modeling a full six-story building, covering everything from setting levels, grids, and walls to integrating structural elements and architectural finishes in Revit.
The course teaches how to integrate and coordinate specialties like structural, electrical, and plumbing systems within a single BIM model using Autodesk Revit’s collaborative tools.
Yes, it covers creating and editing construction details, precise graphic representation of components, and the technical documentation needed for architectural projects in Revit.

Es mas una narración de lo que va haciendo mientras dibuja que una explicación
Bien explicado
Excelente curso, desde las primeras clases he aprendido mucho, me ha sorprendido ver todo lo que se puede hacer a través de Revit, excelente profesor explica muy claro
This course is soo exciting. I'm really enjoying it
Maravilloso curso, es demasiado fundamental tener los conocimientos para utilizar revit, en mi caso desde el mundo de la arquitectura. Recomiendo 100% el curso!
