Autodesk Revit Structure
Course details
Course Description:
The Revit Structure building information model combines a physical representation of the building
fully associated with an analytical representation.
This common, computable building model is used for structural design, drawing production, and
coordination and drives third-party structural analysis applications.
Revit can be used as a very powerful collaboration tool between different disciplines in the building
design sphere.
Objectives:
This course covers the basics of Autodesk Revit Structure Users are introduced to the concepts of
Building Information Modelling and the tools for parametric design, analysis, and documentation
They learn the fundamental features of Autodesk Revit Structure, learn to use the 3D parametric
design tools for creating and analyzing a project, and finish with construction documentation and
design visualization.
