What you'll learn

By the end of the course you will be able to produce drawings and rendered images of buildings. You should also be immediately productive in a building design office contributing to the bottom line.
In this course, you will learn to model buildings using the building information modelling software, Revit Architecture 2014. You will learn to navigate the user interface, model architectural elements like walls, windows, doors, roofs, floors, structure, curtain wall systems and stairs. You will annotate and dimension drawings, generate sections, details and schedules. You will also produce 3 dimensional images and renderings of buildings.
The primary objective of this course is to teach students the concepts of Building Information Modelling and introduce the tools for parametric building design and documentation using Revit Architecture. This course covers the basics of Revit Architecture, from schematic design through construction documentation. Students are introduced to the concepts of Building Information Modelling and the tools for parametric building design and documentation.
