This course will teach the basic operations of creating walls, windows, floors and laying out work on sheets.Students will learn the practical advantages of implementing the software in a work environment and how it can be used to integrate AutoCAD drawings.
At the end of the training, participants will be able to use Revit to model and draw a project through the design stages, analysis to documentation and visualization.
