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 objective of the Revit Architecture Advanced course is to enable students who have worked with Revit to expand their knowledge in the areas of Preliminary Design (massing studies, space planning, visualization, and rendering) and BIM Management (setting up Revit and creating custom families).
