After completion of the Beginner and Intermediate Revit Course, you’re ready to master the industry’s leading 3D software, Revit in this Advanced Revit Course.
What is Revit?
Revit is a BIM (building information modelling) software that creates intelligent 3D models of buildings which can be used to produce construction documentation drawings and design presentations. Revit is a building-specific solution for design and documentation and is currently the industry’s leading software for BIM. Revit is used for conceptual design, 3D parametric modelling, detailed design documentation, multi-discipline coordination, modelling building components, analysing and simulating systems and structures, iterating and visualising architectural designs, building performance analysis and more.
Why learn Revit?
Revit not only allows architects to design and model 3D solutions, but the BIM software also allows for seamless collaboration between disciplines which makes working with structural engineers, other designers, and MEP consultants incredibly efficient.
Why learn Revit with Kyle?
Let’s face it. Learning software is often complicated and difficult. Doing it by yourself makes it even harder! It doesn’t need to be that way. In this Advanced Revit Course, you will be learning from a Master of Architecture student who has practical Revit experience across four architectural firms (which all use Revit as the primary design and documentation tool). You will be able to follow along to learn the skills and confidence you need to use Revit efficiently in a professional setting.
You can spend days, weeks or months learning Revit by yourself, and not necessarily learning it the right way. In Kyle’s 200+ lesson course, you can fast-track that journey to gain the skills to design and model in Revit at a professional level.
Most online Revit tutorials or courses are boring, slow going and demonstrate incorrect practices. Trust me, I’ve found that out the hard way. If you’ve watched Kyle’s videos before, you’d know that these Revit tutorials are fun, fast and easy to follow.

Amazing tutorial! Thanks a lot!
Thanks a lot Emin! Glad you liked it
your drawings are extremely beautiful and pleasant , great work
You are great, Kyle. Its amazing to listen and watch your videos, Really Helpful.
You're a hero, just know that
Thanks bro 🙏🏽✨
man - your are awesome - ur saving me day by day - thanks a lot
So glad to hear! Thank you
Another option instead of the phasing avenue is to duplicate your north, east, south , west elevations and apply a view template that hides everything except the doors, windows, levels, dimensions, etc (any category that you will need to annotate). Then duplicate and rename for each individual door/window and hide all the other doors/windows in each view. The benefit here is that they are all the actual instances used in your model and are at the right sill heights to your levels. Then place them as separate aligned views on the page. Sounds more complex than it is but allows you to tag etc.
I just watched this video and I must tell you that I love all your videos, they have been all very helpfull for my practice. I just missed in this video how can I include the total count of every type of door and window that I have in the tags that we are creating?
Thank you so much! I am not in Revit at the moment, but I believe there is a "Totals" checkbox, or perhaps "grand totals" under the appearance tab. You would just need to add the count parameter.
New here on this channel
Have you considered using a assembly for window/door view
So you don't have to add those extra phases and families
It has built in elevation that only isolate the assembly
This is really one of the best tutorials I've ever seen. Well done and thanks. The next step will be to add a number of doors and windows that might be repeated. How do I count the number of them up correctly - is it under the phasing? Will it show up on the drawing? Can you link these tags to the plans, section & elevations?
Thanks a lot Johann! For doors and windows that might be repeated, you can change the schedules to be type based, rather than instance-based. This means that when you tag one door family, that entire family will have that same tag.
Because the door and window families have the information embedded in them, you can use that information on any of the drawings throughout the model. There's a lot you can do with this, it's a matter of how far you want to take it!
@@kylesinko Thanks! I've created extra door and window tags for plans, elevations and sections. These are suitable and can be read & calculated on the schedules. You just have to learn how to work around some aspects, but I'm only learning Revit now. Then, I've created two more instant parameters so I can enter the door or window's position and orientation for my fenestration calculation. Your tutorial created a base for understanding how to manoeuvre in Revit. Thanks again
Wow!! Your Tutorial is great. you can teach very well
Thank you very much! I'm glad you think so. Cheers
amazing tutorial
Thanks a lot!
You are most welcome!
Thank you
You’re welcome!
Great tutorial Mate, a question about he number mark for a window for example, if I created a wall and put a new window, the mark number will increase, whereas I wnat to tag the windows I have already in the project, for example W1, W2, but revit send a warning that I am duplicating an existing window mark, is there a way to avoid that problem? cheers mate so useful.
Is there a workaround to also include Door Quantities?
We use this setup for doors, windows and also walls. But we put the geometry in a Design option to hide them, have you considered that work flow and if why did you use Phases to "hide" the geometry from ordinary views?
Smart! I like that idea. I use phases as I can easily isolate and view my doors/windows on any view by changing the phase. Though, the same would apply for design options so it's really just personal preference
Thank you so much for this intensive but very informative and helpful lecture! I have a question. What is the difference between editing or writing in materials under Properties (such as panel and hinges for the window you added in Project parameters) and editing the materials under Edit Type? These two seems like having no corresponding materials.
Thanks Han! Good question. When editing anything in the properties panel, it is an Instance Based Parameter. This means that changing a material here, will only change it for that instance in the model. For example, if you select a window and change it's frame material to timber, it will only change that window, despite there possibly being other windows of that same type throughout the project. Only that instance will change. However, editing from the Edit Type menu will change it for all types in the project. I hope that helps.
Cheers
@@kylesinko Thanks a lot!
youre videos are very useful can you share me families in model 2019
genius
HEY - i have small query for windows schedule i need to show plan view as well - i have followed your video did the same - but how can i get plan view of door or a window..please help
At 10:10 you clicked on new phase then the ground floor is disappeared .
When I did that ground floor is still existed !? 🤔
i faced the same keep phase filter - show all , phase - doors & windows
can you use "room number" in the tag family, or no because its not a shared parameter
I don't believe it's available on a door or window family. I think that parameter is only available to Room Tags
Won't work any way as the object you tag isn't in a room.
To get that function you have to use a schedule in conjunction with your tag.
It works great, have done that in many projects.
@@TheLegendMythManhow ?
@@sureshcivil8627 we used a tag that gets the type information that is part of the doors like manufacturer and hardware.
But for information that are instance based that you can't tag and information that we needed that aren't bound to the door object we use schedules to extract and show that particular information. For example to and from room and wall thickness for frame and trim.
Honestly I prefer to use a schedule for all the information, but the workflow and output the costumer wanted was only possible by using this kind of hybrid setup.
And I like the approach of tagging as much information as possible from real objects in the model, and only as a last resort I use legend symbols or draw 2D objects in a drafting view to show a elevation of a door.
@@TheLegendMythMan THANK YOU
Jesus this is far too complex for me lol. Lets hope Autodesk gets themselves sorted regarding creating proper door schedules in Revit. Also this is NOT how you do door schedules - you will normally only show one of each type of door and window, and state the amount of each, as this is the main thing contractors would need to know for ordering. You would never show every single window or door if they are all the same. I guess there is no way to do this in Revit automatically as you would need to show a count for each door type.
