Course Description
This course covers the basics of Revit® Architecture, from schematic design through construction
documentation. Students are introduced to the concepts of Building Information Modeling and the tools for
parametric building design and documentation.
This course offers both imperial and metric hands-on exercises representing real-world design scenarios.
Objectives
The primary objective of this course is to teach students the concepts of Building Information Modeling and
introduce the tools for parametric building design and documentation using Revit Architecture.
After completing this course, students will be able to:
• Describe the benefits of Building Information Modeling.
• Use the fundamental features of Revit Architecture.
• Use the parametric 3D design tools to design projects.
• Create detailing and drafting views.
• Create construction documentation.
• Use the presentation tools for presenting models.
Prerequisites
No previous CAD experience is necessary. However, architectural design, drafting, or engineering experience is
highly recommended. It is also recommended that the student have a working knowledge of Microsoft® Windows®
XP or Microsoft® Windows® 2000.
