Autodesk Revit MEP Essentials

Description

DESIGN COMPLEX BUILDING SYSTEMS WITH CONFIDENCE

Revit helps engineers, designers, and contractors across the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) disciplines model to a high level of detail and easily coordinate with building project contributors. The trainee is introduced to Building Information Modelling (BIM) concepts and the parametric design, analysis, and documentation tools. The trainee will learn the fundamental features of Autodesk Revit MEP, use the 3D parametric design tools for creating and analysing a project, and finish with construction documentation and design visualisation.

Course Overview

Specialised for mechanical engineers, plumbing and HVAC professionals who wish to learn the basic features of Revit MEP. Learn about Building Information Modelling (BIM) and the tools for parametric MEP systems design and documentation using Autodesk Revit MEP. Begin the three-day guide by learning the fundamental features of Autodesk Revit MEP, then progress through system design, system analysis and construction documentation.

Recommended experience level

No previous experience is required.
