Produce 3D building models
Learn how to use Autodesk™ Revit®’s building modeler. Develop design ideas and create full 3D architectural project models. Because 3D designs are created from the first stage, you can easily produce plan, section and elevation drawings. Cover the foundations of creating a generic structure in the Revit® project environment using many of the tools that would be used in a day-to-day production environment.
The following topics are a guideline to course content and may be subject to change by the instructor:
- The basics of Revit®
- Creating views of the model
- Setting up levels and grids
- Creating walls, floors, ceilings, roofs
- Creating stairs, railings, ramps
- Creating curtain walls
- Adding components to the model
- Making design changes
- Creating and printing sheets
- Adding annotations and detailing a sheet
