About this course
The Revit for Interior Design training course teaches Revit the way an interior designer works through a project. You start with an existing building shell, then plan the space with partitions, doors and glazing, and build up the interior layer by layer: floor finishes, materials, ceilings and lighting, loose furniture and built-in joinery. On the final day you turn the model into a working interior drawing set – room finish plans, reflected ceiling plans, interior elevations, schedules and sheets – plus 3D views for client presentation.
Unlike a general architecture class, the focus is on what happens inside the walls: materials and finishes, ceiling design, furniture and casework, and the documents a fit-out contractor and client actually need. Every participant completes a small fit-out project (an office or residential unit) from start to finish.
