Description

CREATE MORE ACCURATE AND OPTIMISED DESIGNS

Revit uses intelligent building components such as floors, walls, doors, windows, stairways, etc., rather than simple objects like lines, circles, and arcs that represent building components, as in traditional CAD systems. Each component is linked through a high-performance change engine, allowing a single change in any model view to propagate throughout all views, both parametrically and bi-directionally. Use Revit for every phase of your project, from concept to visualization. With BIM tools, capture and communicate concepts and precise design intent.

Course Overview

This course will cover an overview of Revit concepts, user interface, project set-up, designing with digital building components, producing drawing sheets, and detailing and documenting the project. The main objective is to teach the concepts of Building Information Modelling (BIM) and introduce the tools for parametric building design and documentation using Revit. This course will give the trainee a solid foundation in Building Information Modelling (BIM) using Autodesk’s Revit Architecture. Throughout the course, the trainee will be shown how to create 3D architectural models, from schematic design to construction documentation.

Recommended experience level

No previous experience is required.

Course Format

This online course consists of multiple modules delivered over 10 hours of live (online) instruction and time for self-directed learning.

• Delivery: Online via Microsoft Teams
• Schedule: 1 hour per day at 9:30 AM (Irish Time – GMT/IST)
• Duration: 10 days total
• Access: Participants require a free Microsoft Teams or Office 365 account

Each module includes a 1-hour live (online) session with the trainer, complemented by approximately 1 hour of self-paced learning

Note: In the event of a Bank Holiday, the course will be delivered over 9 days, maintaining the total of 10 hours of live instruction. One day (TBC) will include a double session.
