Autodesk Revit Architecture - Fundamentals
This class covers the basics of Autodesk Revit Architecture, from schematic design through construction documents. Students will be introduced to the concepts of Building Information Modeling and the tools for parametric design and documentation.
Learning Objectives:
Become familiar with the concepts and benefits of Building Information Modeling.
Understand the fundamental concepts and features of Autodesk Revit Architecture.
Use the Parametric 3D design tools to start designing projects.
Use the automated tools for project documentation.
Develop an initial level of comfort and confidence with Autodesk Revit Architecture through hands-on experience.
Know how to use Revit Architecture in a typical workflow
Explore the Building Information Modeling (BIM) interface.
Design a 3D building model to explain how information is inter-related throughout the BIM model.
Integrate building components into a 3D model and develop construction document sheets from that model.
Develop a project which includes stairs and “feature architectural designs” to strengthen BIM modeling skill sets.
Key Features
