Revit is one of the most used programs around the world for the BIM methodology; allows you to create parametric 3D models from all AECo areas – Architecture, Engineering and Civil Construction.
This course is designed to equip trainees with the skills needed to start working with Revit. The basic concepts underlying the BIM methodology, the Revit platform, common techniques and commands and transversal application in architectural, structural and specialty projects are addressed. The course is taught with a minimum of theory and a maximum of practice using application exercises, some taken from a real context.
WHO IS IT FOR
Architects, engineers, designers, technicians, designers and anyone who wants to use Revit applying the BIM methodology.
