Revit Architecture 2013 Essentials
Plus
The Instructor-led phase of the course covers the core topics for working with Revit Architecture 2013. The teaching strategy is to start with the core tools that enable the student to create and edit a full 3D architectural project, and then continue to develop those tools. Not every command or option is covered, because the intent is to show the fundamental drafting tools and concepts. PLUS - Students then have 12 months access to Self-paced E-Learning which guides them through more advanced design tools and concepts.
Description This course is designed to teach you the Revit functionality as you would work with it in the design process. You begin by learning about the user interface and the Revit commands for design development followed by those available for construction documentation. Since building projects themselves tend to be extremely complex, Revit Architecture is a necessarily complex program. The objective of the Revit Architecture 2013 Fundamentals training guide is to enable students to create full 3D architectural project models and set them up in working drawings. This training guide focuses on basic tools that the majority of users need to work with Revit Architecture.
Delivery Mode In a new approach to learning Revit Architecture, we have put together a combination of Instructor-led and Guided E-learning to maximize your learning experience and reduce the amount of time out-of-office. Phase 1 - 2 days Instructor-led Group Training (09:00 - 16:30) Phase 2 - 12 months access to self-paced E-learning: Revit Architecture 2013 – The Complete Guide (Refer to terms and conditions on login)
Courseware Login details for Global E-Training will be provided at the Instructor-led training. Access to Guided E-Training for 12 months
Certification An A2K Technologies “Certificate of Attendance” will be issued on completion of the course. An Autodesk “Certificate of Completion” will be issued on successful completion of the E-Learning course
Course Objectives: On completion of this course students will have been given the opportunity to acquire knowledge and understanding of commands and concepts that develop the skills necessary to demonstrate competency in: • Understanding the purpose of Building Information Management (BIM) and how it is applied in Revit • Using the Revit Architecture workspace and interface • Working with the basic drawing and editing tools in Revit • Creating Levels and Grids as datum elements for the model • Creating a 3D building model with walls, curtain walls, windows, and doors • Adding floors and roofs to the building model
Revit Architecture 2013 Essentials– Plus
• Creating standard and custom stairs • Creating Reflected Ceiling Plans with ceilings and lighting fixtures • Adding component features, such as furniture and equipment • Setting up sheets for plotting with text, dimensions, details, tags, and schedules • Creating details
Who Should Attend & Prerequisites This course is designed for new users of Revit Architecture. No previous CAD experience is required, but students are expected to have: a sound level of computer literacy an understanding of Architectural Design and Drafting an understanding of Architectural documentation requirements access to Revit Architecture and the Internet to enable completion of the E-Learning phase

Phase 2 - Guided E-Learning Revit Architecture 2013: The Complete Guide is designed to give you a solid understanding of Revit Architecture 2013 features and capabilities From the basics through to advanced components. Every course is designed to use all learning styles from text, audio, video, interactivity, quizzes and practical “Let Me Try” examples. Revit Architecture 2013: The Complete Guide has been carefully structured not only to give you the knowledge and skills you need to be a successful Revit Architecture user, but also to prepare you for the Autodesk Certification exams. A certification icon in the “Let Me Try” tasks will alert you to areas that are especially relevant to Revit Architecture 2013 certification.
