Revit Architecture 2010 Intermediate

Total number of pages: 414
Total Hours: 24

Revit Architecture is a powerful Building Information Modeling (BIM) program that works the way Architects think. From Preliminary Design through Design Development, and into Construction Documents, the program streamlines the design process with a central 3D model. Changes made in one view update across all views and on the printable sheets. The name “Revit” implies this ease of revision that is at the heart of the software.

Since building projects themselves tend to be extremely complex, Revit Architecture is a necessarily a complex program. The objective of the Revit Architecture 2010 Intermediate course is to enable students who have a basic knowledge of Revit to increase their productivity through additional collaboration tools, advanced design development tools, and advanced construction document tools.

Topics include:

Collaboration Tools
• Set up project phasing
• Create and display a variety of design options
• Use Groups
• Link Revit files
• Import and export files, including exporting for energy analysis
• Understanding, use and set up worksets
Advanced Design Development Tools
• Create multiple-sploe floors, roofs and slabs
• Create curtain walls
• Work with site design and structural design tools
Advanced Construction Documentation
• Create and annotate details
• Create schedules, including material takeoff schedules
• Add keynotes and legends
• Work with advanced viewing tools

A note to instructors: The chapters in the course are largely independent of one another. Depending on the time available and the needs of a particular class, the instructor can therefore choose to focus on certain chapters and omit others. Also, at this advanced level, some of the chapters tend to be highly specialized (e.g., structural or site design). These can be covered or not depending on the interests of the class and the schedule.

Prerequisites: Students who enroll in this course should be comfortable with the fundamentals of Revit as taught in the Revit Architecture Fundamentals class. Knowledge of basic techniques is assumed, such as creating walls, roofs, and other objects; copying and moving objects; creating and working with views; etc.

This class covers Collaboration, advanced Design Development, and advanced Construction Documentation. The Revit Architecture Advanced class covers Conceptual (Preliminary) Design and BIM Management tools, including how to create families.
