Course Length: 3-5 days

Course Description

This course covers the basics of Revit®Structure, from schematic design through construction documentation. Students are introduced to the concepts of Building Information Modeling and the tools for parametric design, analysis, and documentation. This course offers both imperial and metric hands-on exercises representing real-world structural design scenarios.

 

 

Performance-Based Objectives

The primary objective of this course is to teach students the concepts of Building Information Modeling and introduce the tools for parametric design, analysis, and documentation using Revit Structure. After completing this course, the student will be able to:

 

•Describe the benefits of Building Information Modeling.

•Use the fundamental features of Revit Structure.

•Use the parametric 3D design tools for creating and analyzing projects.

•Use the automated tools for documenting projects.

•Develop a level of comfort and confidence with Revit Structure through hands-on experience.
