Overview

In this course, architects and designers will learn how to efficiently use Autodesk Revit Architecture, a powerful BIM engine, for project design. 
The course will cover various topics such as creating and modifying mass elements, applying walls, roofs, and floors, space planning using rooms and areas, rendering and lighting concepts, and setting up worksets. 
Participants will also gain knowledge in creating perspectives, walkthroughs, and solar studies. By the end of the course, students will have a comprehensive understanding of how to effectively utilize Autodesk Revit Architecture for architectural design projects.

Objactive
