Summary

Revit Architecture's main purpose is to design buildings - walls, doors, floors, roofs, and stairs. However, architects also frequently need to add site and structural information. This course covers the elements and tools in Revit Architecture that are used to create topographic surfaces for site work and to add structural elements.

Who Should Attend

Architects, designers, facilities planners, drafters and others needing to add site and structural information to their Revit model. This is an excellent class for those who are experienced users of Revit Architecture and want to enhance their skill set from a design perspective.

Objectives

Revit Architecture is a powerful parametric 3D modeling program for designing buildings. In this course you will learn the basics of site planning and structural building systems for 3D architectural project models. You will work through designing, creating, and annotating site surfaces and structural elements. The class focuses on basic tools that the majority of users will need to work when working with site and structural elements within a Revit Architectural design.
