AutoCAD Training Overview
Revit is a powerful parametric 3D modeling program for designing buildings. “Parametric” refers to the way Revit objects are defined by parameters, such as dimensions—you can change a dimension and the model updates automatically, or change the model and all the views and drawing sheets based on it update automatically as well. The name “Revit” implies this ease of revision that is at the heart of the software.
This course is intended for students who have completed Revit Architecture Fundamentals training and are ready to explore more advanced features in the software. Knowledge of basic techniques is assumed, such as creating walls, roofs, and other objects; copying and moving objects; creating and working with views; etc.
AutoCAD Training Topics
