Revit Architecture
Course Description
In this hands-on course students use Revit Architecture to learn about Building Information Modeling (BIM) and
the tools for parametric building design and documentation. During this three-day course students learn about the
fundamental features of Revit Architecture, modeling tools, annotating, and construction documentation
The doors open at 8:45 a.m. Class begins at 9:00 a.m. and ends at 5:00 p.m. with two fifteen minutes breaks and
a one hour lunch. We have bagels and coffee served in the morning upon arrival. A book and a certificate of
