Autodesk Revit Architecture Training

The Autodesk® Revit® architecture software is a powerful building information modeling (BIM) program that works the way architects think. From preliminary design through design development, and into construction documents, the program streamlines the design process with a central 3d model.

Changes made in one view update across all views and on the printable sheets. Since building projects themselves tend to be extremely complex, the Autodesk Revit architecture software is also complex.

The objective of the Autodesk Revit architecture 2014 fundamentals training is to enable students to create full 3d architectural project models and set them up in working drawings. This training focuses on basic tools that the majority of students need to work with the Autodesk Revit architecture software. 

Topics Include:

• Understand the purpose of Building Information Management (BIM) and how it is applied in Revit
• Navigating the Revit Architecture workspace and interface
• Working with the basic drawing and editing tools in Revit
• Creating Levels and Grids as datum elements for the model
• Creating a 3D building model with walls, curtain walls, windows, and doors
• Adding floors and roofs to the building model
• Creating component-based and custom stair
• Detailing Reflected Ceiling Plans with ceilings and lighting fixtures
• Adding component features, such as furniture and equipment
• Setting up sheets for plotting with text, dimensions, details, tags, and schedules
• Creating details
• Create topographic surfaces
• Add property lines and building pads
• Modify toposurfaces with subregions, splitting surfaces and grading the regions
• Annotate site plans and add site components
