Autodesk® Revit® Architecture
2013: Level I
This course introduces you to Autodesk
Revit software, the AEC industry’s
first parametric building modeler. In
Autodesk Revit, you don’t just draw 2D
building plans, elevations or sections;
you create a digital database of your
building, composed of 3D graphical
information as well as non-graphical
data, using the Autodesk Revit predefined,
parametric building components.
Productivity is improved through
increased automation of constructions
documentation. New tools, templates,
and constructions content extend the
benefits of the building information
modeling solution to the construction
community.
Topics include: general overview of
Autodesk Revit Architecture—introduction
to the philosophy of creating
projects; working with walls and joints;
Autodesk Revit family components; setting
up views such as sections, interior
elevations, perspectives, schedules,
and project phases; study methods and
techniques for defining and modifying
roofs; Autodesk Revits rendering tools.
Prerequisite: Understanding of
Windows® 2000 and XP operating
systems, and some CAD experience.
• Section 1 (w): Su 9:30 AM–12:30 PM
10 sessions Feb 3–Apr 14
playground equipment information
For school-age children, the space between the
bottom of the guardrail and the ground should be more than
nine inches but less than or equal to twenty-eight inches.
If caring for infants or toddlers, a protective barrier should
be installed. The space between the barrier and the ground
should be less than three and one-half inches and should be

This architect from Amsterdam brought to light a way to deal with flooding by floating residential buildings. The utilities and building are anchored so they dont float away. This is a cool way to deal with flooding. It would be cool to apply to a playground and easier to apply to a playground. We might not even need draining, if we could float it. This architect is from Jackson Heights, it would be cool if he could come in and explain how this is done.
