Discover how Revit empowers interior designers to iterate faster, visualize in 3D, and produce error-free deliverables from day one. Meticulously crafted for both students and professionals, this book will teach you to use Revit the way interior designers actually work, regardless of your prior experience. In this project-driven guide you’ll plan, model and document every detail of a two-story law office.

This book uses an engaging, tutorial-style approach centered around developing the interior of a two-story law office. You'll begin with a provided architectural model, complete with established columns, beams, exterior walls, and structural elements, allowing you to dive straight into the intricacies of interior design rather than architectural modeling. The chapters are structured chronologically, mirroring the typical design process, to help you efficiently develop your design ideas and skills.

The first chapter introduces you to Revit, Building Information Modeling (BIM), and essential file-management tasks such as opening, saving, and starting new projects. In the next two chapters you will develop core modeling skills, learning to create essential elements like walls, doors, and windows. These core chapters demonstrate Revit’s powerful capabilities and sets the stage for deeper exploration throughout the rest of the book.

As you progress, the focus shifts to interior specialization, where you'll develop every facet of the law-office interior. You will navigate the 3D model, create and manage materials, and lay out spaces using walls, doors, and windows. As the design evolves, selected areas of the office serve as hands-on laboratories for practicing key Revit commands and workflows.

By the end of the book, you will confidently model floor finishes, ceilings with soffits, casework, a custom reception desk, restrooms, furniture, and lighting. You will also generate tags, schedules, and photorealistic renderings, equipping you with a portfolio-ready project and a solid grasp of professional documentation.

Whether you are a faculty member searching for a complete BIM curriculum, a student preparing for certification, or a practicing designer moving from 2D CAD or SketchUp to a collaborative Revit workflow, Interior Design Using Autodesk Revit 2026 delivers the step-by-step instruction, multimedia support and depth of reference you need to create inspired interiors that are accurately documented, beautifully rendered and BIM-ready.
