Overview
To take full advantage of Building Information Modeling, the Autodesk® Revit® Structure Essentials training guide has been designed to teach the concepts and principles of creating topographic surface for use in site design. Students will learn how to manipulate surfaces and best practices for linking project models and site models together using shared coordinates. Next the student will expand his knowledge of structural tools started in the Essentials course. More time is spent learning about additional schedule types and advanced scheduling concepts.
Students will familiar with the tools necessary to create, document, and print the parametric model. The examples and practices are designed to take you through the basics of a full structural engineering project from linking in an architectural model to construction documents.
Objective
This training guide is intended to introduce students to the user interface and the basic building components of the software that makes it a powerful and flexible structural modeling tool. The goal is to familiarize you with the tools necessary to create, modify, analyze, and document the parametric model.
Prerequisite
- Basic of structural design and its terminology.
- No previous 3D modeling experience necessary.
- Delegates should have a working knowledge of Microsoft® Windows®.
