Autodesk Revit Structural Essentials

Description

DELIVER MORE CONSISTENT, COORDINATED PROJECTS

Streamline projects, from design concept to fabrication, with Revit. Improve installation accuracy and constructability by connecting your structural design to the detailed model. 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 Structure, use the 3D parametric design tools for creating and analysing a project, and finish with construction documentation and design visualisation.

Course Overview

This course will give the trainee a solid foundation in Building Information Modelling. It has been designed to teach the concepts and principles of building design through construction documentation using the Autodesk Revit Structure software. The course introduces the trainee to the user interface and the software’s essential building components, making it a powerful and flexible structural modelling tool. The course will provide the tools to create, modify, and document your parametric model.

Recommended experience level

No previous experience is required.

Course Format

This online course consists of multiple modules delivered over 10 hours of live 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)
