Revit Structure 101: Rookie

Description
This course covers the basics of Autodesk Revit Structure. Users are introduced to the concepts of Building Information Modeling and the tools for parametric design, analysis, and documentation. They learn the fundamental features of Autodesk Revit Structure, learn to use the 3D parametric design tools for creating and analysing a project, and finish with construction documentation and design visualisation. This course offers both imperial and metric hands-on exercises representing real-world structural design scenarios.

Prerequisites
New Autodesk Revit Structure users or other Autodesk software users who want to learn essential elements of Autodesk Revit Structure.

Assumed Knowledge
Structural engineering, drafting, or architectural design experience is highly recommended. No previous CAD experience is necessary. A working knowledge of Microsoft® Windows® XP.

Skills
You will learn the concepts of Building Information Modeling and introduce the tools for parametric design, analysis, and documentation using Autodesk Revit Structure. Users will be able to complete their first Autodesk Revit Structure project after completing this class.
