Unlock the power of Building Information Modelling (BIM) at your own pace with our Revit® Architecture Fundamentals Course - On-Demand. This self-paced course teaches you to create a complete 3D architectural project model using Revit's essential tools, structured around the way architects think and work. Because everything is driven from a central 3D model, any change you make in one view updates automatically across every view and printable sheet.
Learn when it suits you, progress at your own pace, and revisit lessons whenever you need to reinforce a concept or technique.
What You Get
- The full Revit Architecture Fundamentals course, recorded from our classroom training and presented by Autodesk Certified Instructors
- Structured video lessons you can watch in any order, as often as you like
- Exercise files so you can build the project model alongside the instructor
- 12 months of access from the date your enrolment is activated
- Autodesk Certificate of Completion and CPD points on finishing the course
Course Overview
The objective of the course is to enable you to construct a complete 3D architectural model, incorporating walls, doors, windows, components, floors, ceilings, roofs and stairs. You'll learn to navigate the Revit interface and use the basic drawing, editing and viewing tools, and the course culminates in the creation of construction documents, preparing you to deliver professional architectural drawings.
