Are your clients sending you Revit models instead of CAD drawings? Do you need to be able to pull plans and sections from a Revit model? This virtual course provides an introduction to the Revit or Revit LT interface, and illustrates how to format plan and section views for CAD export.
Course Summary
This course is intended to introduce specialty equipment
contractors and engineers to the BIM processes most widely used in the design
and construction industry. The
information focuses on workflows to import and export model information to and from Autodesk Revit for use
in submittal drawings.
The goals of the course are as follows:
Gain a basic understanding of BIM.
Understand how to navigate Revit, link files, and create a workflow for import and export.
Have a basic understanding of how to create and
modify views in Revit.
Course Structure
This is a live virtual course. Each training session will take place online via Zoom, and will last 1 to 1.5 hours each. We provide 1 training session per week, and students should anticipate an additional 1-2 hours of exercises outside of the online training. While we offer the syllabus as a guide, learning may be customized to the students' needs.
About our virtual courses:
While Performance BIM will be
presenting, this is not intended as a “lecture course.”
Training should be a dialog, and
discussions / questions / alternate viewpoints are encouraged.
If a question covers a topic that
requires more extensive discussion, we may request to table that until another
session.
The session organization serves as
a template and may be adjusted based on project needs.
Prerequisites
Each participant must have the following software packages
available during the sessions to participate in real time:
Autodesk Revit v2024. Note – We can begin the work within Revit LT. However, there are
substantial limitations related to our industry and collaborating with other
trades that may make this challenging. If
you are planning to work regularly within Revit, you should consider an AEC
Design Collection subscription, which will include Revit, AutoCAD, and
Navisworks (among other software).
Autodesk BIM Collaborate Pro
license (optional). This license will be
required to work “live” on an ACC site. We
will provide an overview of this product and how it pertains as part of the
course.
Participants should have access to a minimum of 2
screens – 1 to watch the presentation, and 1 to run the software in real time.
