Attached is information about the course: REGISTER ONLINE: my.pratt.edu 26 Spring 2013 AIA 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
