Training Class Price Per Person Class Dates Purchase
new Revit for Interior Designers
$99
 
Attend this 1.5 hour online class and walk away with a wealth of tips and tricks that you can apply to your interior design projects in Revit. Topics we will cover will include Workflow, Linking files, Visibility graphics, Preparing interior elevations, Room and Area Plans, Finish schedules, Key schedules, Paint and split face tools, and much more. We will also cover best practices and guidelines that you can apply to your interiors projects in Revit.      

 
new Impression in Revit
$99
 
Your design documents provide the fuel for creating great-looking presentation drawings with Autodesk Impression. Getting superb output in the Impression rendering pipeline starts with understanding the options available to get the best input into the system. In this class, we will demonstrate the best ways to work with Impression and Autodesk design applications. We’ll explore topics such as document preparation, output options, and best practices for streamlining the flow from design to illustration. We’ll discuss utilities within Impression, such as Style Mapping, Block Substitution, and CAD Refresh that permit automated, iterative rendering of CAD works in progress.      

 
new Stairs and Railings in Revit Architecture
$99
 
This Revit 201 class focuses on the creation of stair and railing elements. We will review the two methods of creating a stair: stair run, and manually creating boundaries and risers. A custom stair will be generated by using a 2D CAD file as a design underlay. The use of reference planes to lay out your stair idea, and how to create a wall under the stair will be reviewed. In addition, an introduction to modifying stair and railing types will be discussed. The addition of custom handrails, and posts at the top and bottom of stairs will also be introduced, allowing you to create unique stair and railing combinations.      

 
new Revit Architecture Update 2012
$99
 
Join us for a 1.5 hour class focusing on the new features and productivity enhancements in Autodesk Revit Architecture 2012. This class will review the major new features such as worksharing visibility; construction modeling assemblies and parts, and material property sets. We will also explore added functionality to the family editor and interoperability enhancements with DWG exports, links and point cloud data.      

 
Site Tools
$99
 
Create 3D topographic models of your site conditions using the site tools in Revit. The class will cover toposurfaces, graded regions, cut and fills and tips and tricks for linking site plans. (This class designed for Revit Architecture.)      

 
Phazing A-Z
$99
 
Phasing adds the element of time (4D) to your Building Information Model (BIM). This class covers how to create and manage phased views, how to control the display of phased objects, and how to organize the Project Browser by Phase.      

 
View Properties – Controlling Visibility
$99
 
This session will go over the hierarchy structure of model visibility control in Revit, from what should be set in the project template, through maximizing efficiency of View Templates, to how the system settings can be tweaked in a final detail view. Decipher the visibility connections between linked files, with best practices and workflow tips discussed throughout!      

 
Analysis for Master-Planning
$99
 
In this course you will learn how AutoCAD Civil 3D, the standard design tool for civil engineers, is being used by many planners to bridge the gap between planning and engineering.  You will learn the basics of the civil design model and how to analyze the slopes of the existing ground surface, model the composite finished ground surface and calculate the resulting earthworks.      

 
Worksharing Best Practices  (See actual class video clip)
$99
 
This class equips you with set up procedures and best practices for worksharing in Revit. Learn about recommended ways to use worksets and element borrowing. Students will learn file naming conventions, recommended daily procedures, tips for enhanced project performance and use of worksets for visibility.      

 
Network License Manager 101
$99
 
The Autodesk Network License offers users a more flexible licensing environment than the standalone license. This class will teach you how to successfully install and configure the Autodesk Network License Manager from start to finish.  Topics include, obtaining a license file, license manager setup, product installation and configuration, and troubleshooting.      

 
Conceptual Design Tools
$99
 
The massing tools in Revit can be used during the conceptual design phase. As the design is further refined, early data concerning square footage and volume can be taken from the conceptual model and, once approved, the conceptual model can be moved forward by converting the model into actual walls, floors, curtain walls and roofs that will be used in the model. This class introduces you to the massing tools used to create a conceptual model, query the design for square footages and convert the model into real-world building components.      

 
Converting Blocks to Families
$99
 
Learn how to quickly and cleanly convert your DWG or DGN symbols (blocks) into Revit families. Students will be walked through four simple steps to create basic parametric Revit content. Class examples will include converting Landscaping blocks such as trees and shrubs, Site blocks such as North Arrows and Signage blocks, Furniture and Case work and a repeating detail component block.      

 
Collaborating Across Disciplines: Revit Architecture/Structure/MEP
$99
 
Collaboration between engineers and architects is greatly enhanced through proper project setup and team communication.  This class outlines the collaboration toolset provided within Revit for streamlining the IPD process. In addition to using Copy/Monitor for coordination review and change management, the class will cover Shared Coordinates and other tips for aligning the engineering and architectural models. This class is a must before embarking on your first Revit collaboration project.      

 
Leveraging Design Options
$99
 
The Design Option tools are used to study and propose alternate designs. Design Options can be used during schematic design or in CD phase to handle alternate bid items. This class examines when to use/not use the Design Option tools and covers how to create and present different Design Options from plan to 3D to schedules.      

 
Making Titleblocks and Drawing Lists
$99
 
This class not only includes how to create custom titleblocks from scratch by choosing size, adding line types, parameters, and logos, but also how to import a titleblock from AutoCAD. Students will also learn how to create and add drawing lists, as well as what to include/not include in the list.      

 
Getting Started with Presentations
$99
 
The mental ray® rendering engine makes it easy to create photo realistic renderings in Revit. This 1-1/2 hour class will focus on how to set up your scene, create and modify existing materials as well as set up exterior and interior lighting. There will also be many tips and tricks for doing quick presentations as well as productivity ideas to get your renderings and presentations out the door on time and on budget.  Recommended for those new to rendering.      

 
Rapid Detailing
$99
 
Go beyond your building information modeling and improve your documentation skills. This class will cover an array of detailing tools including detail views, detail components, repeating details and detail groups. Additionally the use of CAD details and the ability to reuse details on future projects will be discussed.      

 
Scheduling 201
$99
 
Using occupancy study and LEED credit examples, this class will dig deeper into scheduling. Students will learn how to create Shared Parameters, create calculated parameters (both percentage and formula) and how to utilize Key Schedules. In addition, this class will review how schedules interact with Phasing, Design Options and Linked Files. Students who attend this class should be familiar with how to create a basic schedule.      

 

Corporate eLearning Classes – Each online class can also be scheduled specifically for your organization.
