Revit Basics

In the Revit Basics training course, you will learn to use the Revit Architecture tools and how information is interrelated throughout the Revit (BIM) model. This online Revit course examines how Revit users design 3D models that simultaneously document the project and generate 2D architectural drawings containing floor plans, elevations, and 3D perspective views.

Throughout this Revit course for beginners, you will learn to use this in-demand software that employers desire new hires to possess.

What you will learn

• Describe primary Revit concepts and how they relate to Building Information Modeling (BIM)
• Design a 3D building model to explain how information is interrelated
• Develop a project which includes floors, walls, ceilings, stairs, curtain walls, and roof design to strengthen 3D modeling and 2D documentation skills
• Explore the capabilities of design options and how to present them
• Explore BIM project management techniques to keep models efficient and user friendly

How you will benefit

• Students will develop skills needed in one of the most in-demand software in the architecture, engineering, and construction industry
• Students will gain an understanding of Revit at an intermediate level
• Students will create presentation-level architectural graphics in Revit that demonstrate hands-on knowledge to future employers
