Revit Architecture Advanced

Course Overview

This course covers a wide range of advanced topics in Revit Architecture 2008, continuing to build on the concepts introduced in the Revit Architecture 2008 Essentials course. Delegates learn about site design, advanced rendering techniques, phasing and design options, creating families of custom components and collaborating on a design.This course offers both imperial and metric hands-on exercises representing real-world design scenarios.

Audience

This course is designed for experienced Revit Architecture users.

Skills Gained

The format of the advanced training tends to be a more relaxed agenda than the basic revit training, but common topics will include Worksets, Nested Families, Shared Parameters, modeling examples to get around certain issues encountered by users. Advice on filing and customization of revit to suit individual circumstances. Eg. Where to store families etc. In the afternoon there is a show and tell modelling session which is useful to get solutions or workarounds for any problems encountered on previous projects done by delegates.

Examinations

On completion of the course you will be presented with an Autodesk Authorised Training Certificate.

Prerequisites

• Delegates should have completed the Revit Architecture Essentials course or have equivalent experience using Autodesk Revit Building. Architectural design, drafting or engineering experience is also highly recommended.
• It is also recommended that delegates have a working knowledge of Microsoft Windows XP, Microsoft Windows 2000 or Microsoft Windows NT 4.0.
