Revit Architecture Fundamentals

Audience:

This course is ideal for those in need of a basic understanding of Autodesk Revit software.

Prerequisites:

An understanding of Architectural terminology is an asset.

Description:

The Autodesk® Revit software is a powerful Building Information Modeling (BIM) program that works the way architects think. The program streamlines the design process through the use of a central 3D model, where changes made in one view update across all views and on the printable sheets. This training guide is designed to teach you the Autodesk Revit functionality as you would work with it throughout the design process. You begin by learning about the user interface and basic drawing, editing, and viewing tools. Then you learn design development tools including how to model walls, doors, windows, floors, ceilings, stairs and more. Finally, you learn the processes that take the model into the construction documentation phase.
