AutoCAD Training Overview
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. Changes made in one view update across all views and on the printable sheets. The name “Revit” implies this ease of revision that is at the heart of the software.
Since building projects themselves tend to be extremely complex, Revit Architecture is a necessarily a complex program. The objective of the Revit Architecture 2010 Fundamentals course is to enable students to create full 3D architectural project models and set them up in working drawings. This class focuses on basic tools that the majority of users will need to work with Revit Architecture.
