The programme will provide learners with a solid grounding in Building Information Modelling (BIM) using Autodesk’s Revit. Participants use Revit to learn about building information modelling and the tools for parametric building design and documentation.
This course offers metric hands-on exercises representing real-world design scenarios. The attendees learn the concepts of BIM through the modelling of a basic building, including floors, walls and roofing as well as placing windows, doors and components. Linking models and federations of models for viewing in Navisworks for clash detection will aid users to work in a collaborative environment
