The answer really depends on the expectations. There are hundreds of different model uses, and the time and difficulty involved in creating them can vary greatly. However, if you're planning your home and want to utilize only a few of the most significant benefits of Building Information Modeling (BIM), there's no need to overcomplicate things. Lately, there's been a trend of associating BIM with unnecessary sophistication.

Creating models to leverage their benefits can be straightforward. Check out this free guide I created, which demonstrates that it's possible to learn how to create simple architectural models in BIM software in less than 30 minutes and use them to evaluate layouts.

If you're eager to generate design ideas, obtain precise quantities, and create simple drawings for sharing, it may require a bit more time to learn. However, in just a few hours, you can equip yourself with the knowledge to accomplish all this and more. Explore my course on Home Interior Planning in 3D with Revit to discover what you can learn in just 3.5 hours.
