Maximize the potential of Building Information Modeling (BIM) with our Autodesk® Revit® Fundamentals Training for MEP. This comprehensive course, divided into two parts, is designed to teach you the essential concepts and principles needed to create 3D parametric models of MEP systems, covering everything from engineering design to construction documentation.
Course Overview
This training introduces you to the user interface and the core HVAC, electrical, and piping/plumbing components that make Autodesk Revit an exceptionally powerful and flexible engineering modeling tool. You'll gain hands-on experience with the tools needed to create, document, and print parametric models, guiding you through the entire process of an MEP project—from linking an architectural model to producing construction documents.
What You'll Learn
