AutoCAD Training Overview
This training guide builds on ASCENT’s Revit Architecture 2009 Fundamentals and Revit Architecture 2009 Intermediate training guides. This advanced guide focuses on Revit Architecture 2009’s Preliminary Design and BIM Management features.
The first half of the book covers conceptual design tools including working with mass elements, space planning and area analysis as well as Visualization tools for creating perspectives, walk- throughs, and solar studies. It also includes a chapter on rendering with a focus on setting up lighting for the rendering.
The second half of the book focuses on topics a BIM manager would need to know including customizing templates with annotation styles, titleblocks, objects style and materials as well as creating custom object types (walls, roofs, and floors) and complex families. The concepts and details of creating families is covered step-by-step with a special section on how to create various types of families.
The objective of this course is to enable students who have worked with Revit to expand their knowledge in the areas of Preliminary Design (massing studies, space planning, visualization, and rendering) and BIM Management (setting up Revit and creating custom families).
AutoCAD Training Topics
- Creating mass elements
- Move from mass elements to the buidling model
- Use space planning and area analysis tools
- Create Perspectives, Walkthroughs, and Solar Studies
- Render 3D views
- Prepare templates with settings including annotation styles, titleblocks, and object styles
-
Create custom wall, floor and roof types
- Create parametric families and family types
- Create specific families including doors and windows, in-place families, profiles, railings and annotation families
Prerequisites:
Before taking this course, students should be comfortable with the fundamentals of Revit as taught in the Revit Architecture 2009 Fundamentals training guide, as well as have a working knowledge of the Revit Architecture Intermediate tools. Knowledge of basic tools is assumed, such as creating walls, roofs, and other objects; copying and moving objects; and creating and working with views.
