Autodesk® Revit® Architecture
Course Length: 60 hours
The Autodesk® Revit® software is a powerful Building
Information Modelling (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 course 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 to the construction documentation phase.
Course Objectives
- Understanding the purpose of Building Information Management (BIM) and how it is applied in the
- Autodesk Revit software.
- Navigating the Autodesk Revit workspace and interface.
- Working with the basic drawing and editing tools.
- Creating Levels and Grids as datum elements for the model.
- Creating a 3D building model with walls, curtain walls, windows, and doors.
- Adding floors, ceilings, and roofs to the building model.
- Creating component-based and custom stairs.
Prerequisites:
An understanding of architectural terminology is an asset.
