AutoCAD Training : Revit Architecture 2010 Advanced

Revit Architecture 2010 Advanced

AutoCAD Training Overview

Revit Architecture is a powerful Building Information Modeling (BIM) program that works the way Architects think. From Conceptual Design to BIM Management, 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 Advanced course is to enable students who have worked with Revit to expand their knowledge in the areas of Conceptual Design (massing studies, space planning, visualization, and rendering) and BIM Management (setting up Revit and creating custom families).

AutoCAD Training Topics

Conceptual Design

Create In-Place Conceptual Mass elements and Conceptual Mass families
Create building elements from massing studies
Use Rooms and Areas for space planning and analysis
Create perspectives, walkthroughs, and solar studies
Understand the concepts of rendering and lighting

BIM Management

Create custom templates with annotation style, titleblocks, and custom element styles
Create custom wall, roof, and floor types
Set up a family files
Create family geometry
Create family types
Create specific families including custom doors and windows, in-place families, profiles, railings and shared parameters

Prerequisites:

Students who enroll in this course should be comfortable with the fundamentals of Revit as taught in the Revit Architecture 2010 Fundamentals class as well as a working knowledge of the Revit Architecture 2010 Intermediate tools. Knowledge of basic techniques is assumed, such as creating walls, roofs, and other objects; copying and moving objects; creating and working with views; etc
