AutoCAD Training Overview
Note: This training guide has been developed for use with the Autodesk Revit 2015 R1 software. This training guide is not compatible with the Autodesk Revit 2015 R2 software.
The main purpose of the Autodesk® Revit® Architecture software is to design buildings: walls, doors, floors, roofs, and stairs. However, architects also frequently need to add site and structural information. The Autodesk Revit 2015 Architecture: Site and Structural Design training guide covers the elements and tools that are used to create topographic surfaces for site work and add structural elements.
AutoCAD Training Topics
For Site, students learn how to:
- Create topographic surfaces
- Add property lines and building pads
- Modify toposurfaces with subregions, splitting surfaces and grading the regions
- Annotate site plans and add site components
- Work with Shared Coordinates
For Structural, students learn how to:
- Create structural grids and add columns
- Add foundation walls and footings
- Add beams and beam systems
- Create framing elevations and add braces
Prerequisites:
Students who purchase this training guide should be comfortable with the fundamentals of the Autodesk Revit Architecture software as taught in the Autodesk Revit Architecture Fundamentals training guide and have knowledge of basic techniques taught in this guide.
Information on the Autodesk® Revit® Structure software, which is optimized for structural engineering, is covered in a separate training guide.
