REVIT 201 Class Series
Worksharing Best Practices (See actual class video clip)
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.
Conceptual Design Tools
Revit's massing tools 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
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 & shrubs, Site blocks such as North Arrows & Signage blocks, Furniture and Case work, and a repeating detail component block.
Copy/Monitor - Consultant Workflow
Coordination Review in Revit is done using the Copy/Monitor tool. This class will use the Architect-Structural Engineer coordination as an example and cover various options to be considered for set up of the model before Copying elements. You will also learn how to generate a report of changes made in the linked model and the appropriate ‘Actions’ to be taken for resolving the model differences. Best Practices for Architect-MEP Engineer coordination will also be discussed.
Leveraging Design Options
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
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.
Phasing A-Z
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.
Presentations in Revit
This class is about creating quick, multi-faceted presentations in Revit utilizing object styles, sun and shadows settings and solid fill patterns. The focus is not on rendering, but creating rapid architectural presentations utilizing the tools already available inside Revit. We will also include a few quick pointers utilizing Adobe Photoshop.
Rapid Detailing
Go beyond your building information modeling and improve your 2D/3D documentation skills. This class will cover an array of detailing tools including detail components, repeating details, and detail groups.
Revit Architecture Update 2009
This class focuses on the new
productivity features in Revit
Architecture 2009. Specifically,
we will dive into improvements
to massing study areas and
volumes, the new Swept Blend
massing tool and more versatility
to Pads and Slab control. Documentation
tools have new features as
well including significant
changes to Dimensions and Revision
options. The rendering engine
has been completely overhauled
in 2009, giving users the power
of mental ray ™ processing
combined with FBX exportability
to make compatibility with
3DS Max a snap!
Revit Groups
Revit groups, also known as repeating units, provide a modular design technique ideal for building types comprising many rooms of similar size, shape, and configuration, such as hospitals, hotels, and apartment buildings. This class is a broad overview of how Revit Groups can be used in different unit based project types and includes a review of best practices and guidelines to Revit Group usage.**
Scheduling 201
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.
Site Tools
Create 3D topographic models of your site conditions using Revit’s site tools. The class will cover toposurfaces, graded regions, cut and fills, and tips and tricks for linking site plans. (This class designed for Revit Architecture or Autodesk Revit Building users)
