AutoCAD Training Overview

Autodesk® Revit® Architecture is a Building Information Modeling (BIM) tool, which can be used by more than one person working on a new project. This is an important feature in collaboration within a project, between projects, and with other users, firms, and disciplines.

The objective of the Autodesk Revit Architecture 2013 Collaboration Tools training guide is to enable students who have a basic knowledge of Autodesk Revit to increase their productivity while working with other people on a team, either in the same firm or other firms, and while working with Autodesk Revit files or other CAD files.

AutoCAD Training Topics

• Set up project phasing
• Create and display a variety of design options
• Use groups
• Link Autodesk Revit files
• Use multi-discipline coordination
• Import and export files including exporting for energy analysis
• Understand, use, and set up worksets

Students should be comfortable with the fundamentals of Autodesk Revit as taught in Autodesk Revit Architecture Fundamentals. Knowledge of basic techniques is assumed, such as creating walls, roofs, etc., copying and moving objects, creating and working with views, etc.
