Description
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. Users begin with learning the fundamental features of Autodesk Revit Architecture, and then progress through schematic design, construction documentation, and design visualisation.
This course offers both imperial and metric hands-on exercises representing real-world architectural design scenarios.
Prerequisites
New Autodesk Revit Architecture users or other Autodesk software users who want to learn essential elements of Autodesk Revit Architecture.
Assumed Knowledge
A knowledge of Architectural design, drafting, or engineering experience is highly recommended. No previous CAD experience is necessary, however a working knowledge of Microsoft XP is essential.
Skills
You will learn the concepts of Building Information Modeling and introduce the tools for parametric building design and documentation using Autodesk Revit Architecture. Users will be able to complete their first Autodesk Revit Architecture project after completing this class.
