Packt Publishing Limited, 2026

Build the practical Revit skills needed to create professional BIM models, drawings, schedules, and visualizations for digital construction projects Key Features Build BIM skills through a complete residential project Create professional drawings, schedules, and 3D models Learn industry workflows used across architecture, engineering, and construction Book DescriptionBuild practical Revit 2026 skills through a complete home project, progressing from initial setup to professional BIM models, drawings, schedules, and visualizations. Guided by Gary Cowan, a BIM and VDC specialist with 20 years of experience who has been recognized as an Autodesk Expert Elite member, you’ll learn how these outputs come together in an industry-focused workflow. You'll use your own home as the main project, with focused exercises to explore additional Revit workflows. Using this familiar building as your starting point, you'll learn how to set up a Revit model, create architectural, structural, and MEP elements, manage project information, and produce coordinated documentation. Along the way, you'll explore families, parameters, materials, worksharing, schedules, sheets, and industry-standard BIM workflows used across the AEC industry. You'll also learn how to create plans, sections, elevations, and 3D views, use linked models for coordination, and export models to IFC and NWC files. The book concludes with an introduction to visualization, interoperability, and XR workflows that extend the value of your BIM models beyond Revit. By the end of this book, you'll have developed a project you can build on for your portfolio and gained the confidence to continue your journey in digital construction using Revit 2026.What you will learn Understand digital construction and Revit's role in the industry Gain confidence in navigating and using Revit's key functions Model walls, floors, stairs, roofs, and other building elements Learn worksharing, linked models, exports, and file management Create custom parametric families and apply materials Control 2D and 3D views consistently with view templates Create sheets, manage revisions, print PDFs, and export DWGs Export IFC and NWC files and explore XR workflows Who this book is forArchitects, engineers, and drafters at the beginning of their careers who want to learn foundational Revit 2026 skills for digital construction. No previous knowledge or experience with Revit or other 2D/3D software is required, although basic knowledge of construction drafting or 3D modeling will be beneficial.
