Essential Training – Gateway to BIM
One of the most notable shifts in professional practice is the wide acceptance and integration of Building Information Modeling (BIM). This introduced a new way of thinking about deliverable documents and the collaborative framework that a parametrically virtual model is working to provide. BIM has become an industry-standard because of its intuitive interface and for its ability to facilitate opportunities to connect between the Architect, Consultants, and Contractor. BIM simultaneously delivers real-time working drawings and high-quality spatial renderings to streamline the concepts to working drawings process.
Course Objective
The topics in this Autodesk Revit Architecture training course include:
- Understanding the purpose of Building Information Modeling (BIM) and how it is applied in the Autodesk Revit Software.
- Navigating the Autodesk Revit workspace and interface.
- Working with the basic drawing and editing tools.
- Creating levels and grids as datum elements for the model.
- Creating a 3D building model with walls, windows, and doors.
- Adding floors, ceiling, and roofs to the building model.
- Creating component-based and custom stairs.
- Adding component features such as furniture and equipment.
- Setting up sheets for plotting with text, dimensions, details, tags, and schedules.
- Creating details.
