AutoCAD Training Overview
Revit Architecture is a powerful Building Information Modeling (BIM) program that works the way Architects think. 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 complex program.
This 2009 training guide has a significantly different layout than previous Revit Architecture Intermediate books. The content of the guide has been re-arranged and is now divided into three sections: Collaboration Tools (including linking, importing and exporting, and worksets), Advanced Design Development (including curtain walls, and site and structural design) and Advanced Construction Documents (including detailing, schedules, keynotes and advanced view setup).
The objective of the Revit Architecture 2009 Intermediate training guide is to enable students who have a basic knowledge of Revit to increase their productivity through additional collaboration tools, advanced design development tools, and advanced construction document tools.
AutoCAD Training Topics
- Set up project phasing
- Create and display a variety of design options
- Use groups
- Link Revit files
- Import and export files, including exporting for energy analysis
- Understand, use, and set up worksets
- Create multiple-slope floors, roofs, and slabs
- Create curtain walls
- Work with site design and structural design tools
- Create and annotate details
- Create schedules, including material takeoff schedules
- Add keynotes and legends
- Work with advanced viewing tools
A note to instructors:
The chapters in the training guide are largely independent of one another. Depending on the time available and the needs of a particular class, instructors can choose to focus on certain chapters and omit others. Also, at this advanced level, some of the chapters tend to be highly specialized (e.g., structural or site design). These can be covered or not depending on the interests of the class and the schedule.
Prerequisites:
Students who enroll in this course should be comfortable with the fundamentals of Revit as taught in the Revit Architecture 2009 Fundamentals course. Knowledge of basic techniques is assumed, such as creating walls, roofs, and other objects; copying and moving objects; and creating and working with views.
