Revit MEP 2012: The Complete Guide
Overview:
This course is designed specifically for the Building Services Engineer, covering mechanical, electrical and plumbing services from a design and draughting perspective. With unprecedented levels of communication potential and an easy workflow for handling client revisions and design development, Revit provides a platform for well-managed and co-ordinated deliverables from concept through to fabrication. You will be guided around the software interface and core toolset before being taken through a series of Let Me Try Tasks which not only provide an insight into the Revit approach, but also explain best practice protocols and practical techniques along the way.
To get the most out of this course, we strongly recommend you review every topic within the course, and use all the learning styles to ensure you retain the important information within. We also encourage you to take all the progress tests to ensure you have retained the knowledge, and most importantly practice with the hundreds of real world, Let Me Try examples.
