Users are introduced to the concepts of Building Information modeling and the tools for parametric building design and documentation. Users begin learning the fundamentals of Autodesk Revit Architecture, and then progress through schematic design construction documentation and design visualization.
Objectives
To teach users the concepts of BIM and introduce the tools of Autodesk Revit Architecture. Users will be able to complete their first Autodesk Revit Architecture project after completing this class.
Who should attend?
New Autodesk Revit Architecture users or other Autodesk software users who want to learn the essential elements of Revit Architecture.
Prerequisites
• A working knowledge of Windows is strongly recommended
• Students should have architectural design, drafting or engineering experience. No previous CAD experience is necessary.
