An Introduction to Revit Architecture geared towards the BIM Manager and IT Professional. We provide a strong foundation for users who need familiarity with the platform's features and capabilities, but who will not be end-users on a daily basis.

We instruct by means of hands-on exercises where we explore a typical Revit project. We interrogate the Revit database as a design and documentation tool, creating new floor plan, elevation and schedule views of the database. Likewise, we discuss the effective implementation and roll-out of the platform office-wide.

Topics Include:

The Project Team's Objective:

• Creating a single project database in a fully integrated project model using bi-directional vassociativity to ensure all data, graphics, details, schedules, drawings, and sheets are current and coordinated.
