The Autodesk® Revit software is a powerful Building Information Modeling (BIM) program that works the way architects think. The program streamlines the design process through the use of a central 3D model, where changes made in one view update across all views and on the printable sheets.

This certificate program is designed to teach you the Revit functionality as you would work with it throughout the design process. You begin by learning about the user interface and basic drawing, editing, and viewing tools. Then you learn design development tools including how to model walls, doors, windows, floors, ceilings, stairs and more. Finally, you learn the processes that take the model into the construction documentation phase. Since building projects themselves tend to be extremely complex, the Autodesk Revit software is also complex. The objective of the Fundamentals training program is to enable students to create full 3D architectural project models and set them up in working drawings. This training focuses on all of the basic tools needed to work with the Revit software.
This program is an online program with live lectures on Sundays from 10am to 3pm, with an hour break at 12pm (noon). During the week before the live online lectures, students will be able access asynchronous materials to prepare for the lectures from week to week.
Revit allows its users to design a building and structure and its components in 3D, annotate the model with 2D drafting elements and access building information from the building models database. Revit is 4D BIM capable with tools to plan and track various stages in the building's lifecycle, from concept to construction and later demolition.
