Course Description
The main purpose of the Autodesk® Revit® Architecture software is to design buildings: walls, doors, floors, roofs, and stairs.

For Site, students learn how to:

• Create topographic surfaces
• Add property lines and building pads
• Modify toposurfaces with subregions, splitting surfaces and grading the regions
• Annotate site plans and add site components
• Work with Shared Coordinates

For Structural, students learn how to:

• Create structural grids and add columns
• Add foundation walls and footings
• Add beams and beam systems
• Create framing elevations and add braces
• Copy and monitor elements across disciplines
• Check Interferences

Pre-requisites

Students who enroll in this course should be comfortable with the fundamentals of the Autodesk Revit Architecture software as taught in the Autodesk Revit Architecture Fundamentals training guide and have knowledge of basic techniques.

Information on the Autodesk® Revit® Structure software, which is optimized for structural engineering, is covered in a separate training guide.
