Revit Architecture Essentials


AutoCAD® Revit 2008 is a state-of-the-art building design and documentation system that is purpose-built for building information modeling (BIM). It works the way building professionals think about buildings -- letting architects and designers work on buildings holistically, rather than in terms of separate floor plans, sections, and elevations.

 

Wiith its parametric change technology, any change can be made at anytime, anywhere, and Revit Building automatically coordinates that change everywhere in the project—model views,drawing sheets, schedules, sections, and plans. All designs and documentation stay coordinated, consistent, and complete.

Course Description - Revit 2008 101 Essentials:

This course is designed to teach you the essential features and functionality of AutoCAD® Revit 2008, from building design through construction documentation.

 

Students will learn how to: Describe building information modeling and the benefits of bidirectional associativity; Navigate the Autodesk Revit Building interface, manage views, and identify the different types of building elements; Start new projects, create conceptual designs using Building Maker, create and modify levels, and use column grids; Create and modify different types of walls, doors, and windows; Create and use dimensions and constraints to control object positioning; Create and use curtain walls, floors, ceilings, roofs, and stairs and railings; Load, place, and modify component families; Create different types of schedules and control the appearance of schedules.
