🧱 Revit Architecture: Building Information Modeling (BIM)

🧱 Revit Architecture: Building Information Modeling (BIM)
Code: 3009-ARC

🧱 Introduction

Revit Architecture is an industry-standard Building Information Modeling (BIM) software developed by Autodesk. This course is tailored for architects and advanced design professionals aiming to elevate their digital modeling skills. Participants will gain comprehensive knowledge in creating coordinated, consistent, and computable building models.

📝 Course Description

This intermediate-to-advanced level course provides hands-on training in using Revit Architecture to design, document, and visualize buildings in 3D. Learners will explore BIM principles and apply them through real-world architectural projects. From creating walls and floors to setting up schedules and rendering final presentations, this course emphasizes a data-driven, collaborative approach to architectural design.

Participants will learn to:

• Model and document architectural elements.

• Customize and manage families and project settings.

• Generate sections, elevations, and construction documentation.

• Collaborate using linked models and manage multi-disciplinary data.

• Render high-quality images and export files for further use.

🎯 Objectives

• Understand and apply core concepts of Building Information Modeling (BIM).

• Design detailed 3D architectural models using Revit.

• Coordinate structural and architectural information within a single intelligent model.

• Produce professional documentation, schedules, and realistic renderings.
