What do I get with my purchase?
Your choice! View each course to see pricing options. You can get just the videos lessons or add other professional resources.
Can I preview the videos?
I have made a few videos available for free on YouTube so you can get a feel for the course and how much value is jam-packed into each lesson! You can find those videos in the detailed course description below, on the tutorials page or by watching this playlist. The videos are similar to my other YouTube videos but usually longer and more in-depth on each topic.
Do you offer a student discount or group pricing?
Yes. If you are a full-time student send me an email from your .edu account and I'll send you a discount code for $60 off . Are you a principal interested in using the videos for your office? Contact me for custom pricing for your group.
I'm an architecture/Revit/drafting instructor. Can I use this in my class?
That would be great! This course began after I started teaching this stuff to graduate students. Contact me with info about your class and I can share my syllabus and assignments with you. And get you a teacher discount.
Is it too advanced for me?
If you are new to Revit start with Volume I. If you have completed at least one project in Revit but want to learn more about the software and tools available to you, try Volume II.
What if I have questions?
Send me an email! The videos and Revit file are great, but the best part of this course is that you are not doing it on your own. Enroll today to get started and ask me any Revit or Architecture questions you have about the course content and how to apply it to your own projects!
