BIM – Autodesk Revit Architecture

Overview

The Autodesk® Revit® software is a powerful Building Information Modeling (BIM) program that works the way architects think. The program streamlines the design process through the use of a central 3D model, where changes made in one view update across all views and on the printable sheets.

The Al-Kamel Autodesk Revit Architecture Professional training course is designed to teach you the Autodesk Revit functionality as you would work with it throughout the design process. You begin by learning about the user interface and basic drawing, editing, and viewing tools. Then you learn design development tools including how to model walls, doors, windows, floors, ceilings, stairs and more. Finally, you learn the processes that take the model to the construction documentation phase.

 Your instructor is an Autodesk Certified Professional; and also an experienced BIM Consultant, who uses Revit on a daily basis, preparing construction documents for commercial, Residential and airport projects.

Learning Objectives

  • The objective of the Revit Architecture course is to enable students to create full 3D architectural project models and set them up in working drawings.
