Description

Learner Profile: 

The course is aimed at new users of Revit software from an architectural or engineering background.

Learner prerequisites: 

The learner should be familiar with CAD and understand architectural terminology.

Learning outcomes: 

The course will provide learners with a solid grounding in Building Information Modelling (BIM) using Autodesk’s Revit Architecture. Throughout the course, candidates will be shown how to set up a Revit Architecture project and create a 3D architectural model, complete with associated documentation. As part of the creation of the 3D model, the learner will be able to achieve a realistic architectural visualisation of the completed project.
