Revit Architecture 2015 Essentials

Course details

This course covers the basics of Revit Architecture, from schematic design through construction documentation. To teach delegates the concepts of Building Information Modeling and introduce the tools for parametric building design and documentation using Autodesk Revit Architecture. Delegates will be able to complete their first Autodesk Revit Architecture project after completing this class. This course covers the basics of Autodesk Revit® Architecture. Users are introduced to the concepts of Building Information Modeling and the tools for parametric building design and documentation. Delegates begin with learning the fundamental features of Autodesk Revit Architecture, and then progress through schematic design, construction documentation, and design visualization.

Prerequisites

• No previous CAD experience is necessary. However, architectural design, drafting, or engineering experience is highly recommended. It is also recommended that the student have a working knowledge of Microsoft Windows
