With this course we focus on gaining a 'real world' understanding of the Building Information Management (B.I.M.) process. Autodesk® Revit® software works the way architects and designers think, so the user can develop higher-quality, more accurate architectural designs.
Using tools specifically built to support B.I.M. - workflows, you can capture and analyze concepts and maintain your vision through design, planning, documentation and construction.
You get hands-on sessions and the course is designed to be an intensive introduction to project BIM management, modeling and coordination in the context of daily architectural tasks.
Course Objectives
Targeted towards architects, this course quickly gets you working with hands-on projects exploring tools and creative workflows.
4 main objectives:
| Understanding common workflow and the role of project templates. | |
| Grasp collaboration workflow. | |
| Focus on families creation and documenting. | |
| Master exporting data: schedules, images, videos etc |
Prerequisites
The course is aimed at middle management and architects.
Apart from competency in computer literacy, basics in AutoCad are required.
If you are not sure about your level, please get in touch with your instructor for an assessment of your current skills.
You will need your own workstation or laptop with the software installed and working.
For other hardware requirements please contact your instructor.
