This instructor led training program will be offered at our Autodesk authorized training and certification centre in Melbourne to give you a complete understanding of how to use Revit structure software. Basic computer skills & engineering knowledge required.

After completion of course, Autodesk’s globally accepted certificate of completion will be issued.

Following topics will be covered.

Introducing Revit as a BIM tool

What is BIM and what does it mean? The benefits of BIM What will BIM deliver? Industry drivers Introducing Levels of BIM Implications on team and workflow; fee and deliverables; contract and insurance issues

UI Tour, Project Navigation and View Creation 

Interactive session introducing the menu and screen layout  Interrogating the model to extract views Plans, sections and elevations Displaced views, callouts and drafting views 3D isometrics, perspectives and walkthrough movies  Placement and properties of grids, levels and dimensions  Introduction to basic Revit elements Exercise on creating levels, grids and using dimensions and scope boxes

Element Selection and Manipulation 

Interactive session introducing object selection methods  Element properties and manipulation  Instance and Type parameters  Modify tools, Nodes and Snaps Exercise on basic editing tools, trim, offset, align, etc

Visibility Control and Categories

Project-Wide Settings View Specific Overrides Element Specific Overrides Individual Line Overrides Exercise on modifying element visibility

Model Development Methodology

Is BIM just about 3D? Information timeline and overload How a project develops from a base template The complexity of components Controlling graphical display

Establishing a Project Wall Creation and Manipulation
