Build the Model

Start with the general building components (walls, floors, roofs). Then slowly refine the design, adding more detailed components (stairs, rooms, furniture) as you proceed.

Topics in this section
  • Design the Preliminary Layout
    Establish the larger context of the building model by starting with a massing study or an existing design, and defining levels and grids.
  • Add Basic Building Elements
    Place generic elements in the building model to plan the layout. You can assign specific element types later when you refine the design.
  • View the Model
    Create different views of the building model, such as sections, elevations, and 3D views. When you change the building model in one view, Revit propagates those changes throughout the project.
  • Add More Elements to the Model
    After creating the preliminary layout, add more details to the building model to further develop the design.
  • Refine the Model
