Revit Architecture

This course is designed to train the participants with Autodesk Revit functionality as they would work with it throughout the design processes. Participants begin by learning about the user interface and basic drawing, editing, and viewing tools. They learn design development tools including how to model walls, doors, windows, floors, ceilings, stairs and more. Finally, they learn the processes that take the model to the construction documentation phase.

Since architecture projects are extremely complex, the Autodesk Revit software is also complex. The objective of the Autodesk Revit Architecture Fundamentals training course is to enable students to create full 3D architectural project models and set them up in working drawings. This training course focuses on basic tools that the majority of users need.
