Revit I: Introduction

2.5 weeks | $525 | Online

Designed for architects, interior designers, engineers, and others involved in the construction industry seeking an overview of Building Information Modeling (BIM) using Revit Architecture, this course examines how to design 3D models that simultaneously document the project in schedules and 2D architectural drawings.

Topics include starting a project, modifying elements, and presenting models.  By the conclusion of this Revit training course, students will have built a BIM project from scratch and present multiple views of the model on an architectural sheet.
