Revit Architecture Essentials (2 Day)

Course Objectives
This Revit Architecture 2009 or 2010 Training course teaches new users the fundamentals of Revit Architecture. It provides an understanding of building information modelling by covering the use of the parametric building design and documentation tools within Revit. Delegates start by learning the fundamental features of Revit, and then progress through schematic design and construction documentation, before finishing with design visualisation. Delegates should be able to complete their first Revit Architecture project after completing this course.
 

Who Should Attend?

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

Prerequisites
No previous CAD experience is necessary. However, architectural design, drafting or engineering experience is highly recommended. It is recommended that delegates have a working knowledge of Microsoft Windows.
