Revit Architecture 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.

The objective of the Revit Architecture 2009 Fundamentals course is to enable students to create full 3D architectural project models and set them up in working drawings. Most of the course is focused on Design Development tools - building the 3D model with walls, windows, doors, floors, roofs, stairs, creating reflected ceiling plans and furniture plans. The course finishes with adding views and annotation to the sheets to create a set of Construction Documents.
