Introduction.

Revit has a design aimed mainly at the construction and administration of construction-related data such as the materials to be used in a wall or the capacities they have to support structural loads and with this course you will discover the advantages of designing in BIM (Building Information Modeling) in the current work environment with this BIM software developed by Autodesk.

The information stored in the walls, floors, ceilings, among others, are used in Revit for the tables used to budget a project which are called quantification tables. These are also use in order to review the information delivered by the suppliers of construction materials since Revit stores information such as kilowatts and others specific to a specialty.

Revit allows analytical studies of structures to identify areas of risk before starting with the structural calculations, as well as solar studies for architectural design.

Making use of the tools that the software has, we can make presentations for the projects carried out in Revit through videos and slides that can be presented to different people while working on an educational or work project.

During the course we will create a complete project from scratch using exercises that are always explained using an example that guides you step by step. To take this course you do not need previous knowledge of BIM or Revit. In addition, this course is created with the latest version of Revit, although there is no problem if you decide to follow the course with an earlier version of Revit you will be able to follow it perfectly.
