The course will cover the basics of Revit® Architecture and the concepts of Building Information Modeling. Students will be introduced to the tools for parametric building design and documentation. Upon completion of the program, students will be able to understand the benefits of Building Information Modeling, use the fundamental features of Revit® Architecture, use parametric 3D design tools to design projects, create detailing and drafting views, and use the presentation tools for presenting models. This is a forty hour program that will take place over ten weeks. Classes will meet on Tuesdays from 6 p.m. until 10 p.m. beginning Feb. 2.
