Revit Architecture

Course Overview:

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a process involving the generation and management of digital representations of physical and functional characteristics of places. Revit is a single software application that supports a BIM workflow from concept to construction.

It allows users to design a building and structure and its components in 3D, annotate the model with 2D drafting elements, and access building information from the building model's database. Revit is 4D BIM capable with tools to plan and track various stages in the building's lifecycle, from concept to construction and later demolition.
