REVIT Architecture Essentials 2013 (12 Jun 2013)

Wed, 12 Jun 2013 12:30:00 GMT

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. This course is designed to teach you the Revit functionality as you would work with it in the design process. You begin by learning about the user interface and the Revit commands for design development followed by those available for construction documentation.

Since building projects themselves tend to be extremely complex, Revit Architecture is a necessarily complex program. The objective of this course is to enable students to create full 3D architectural project models and set them up in working drawings. This course focuses on basic tools that the majority of users need to work with Revit Architecture.

The topics include the following:

Understand the purpose of Building Information Management (BIM) and how it is applied in Revit
Using the Revit Architecture workspace and interface
Working with the basic drawing and editing tools in Revit
Creating Levels and Grids as datum elements for the model
Creating a 3D building model with walls, curtain walls, windows, and doors
Adding floors and roofs to the building model
Creating standard and custom stairs
Detailing Reflected Ceiling Plans with ceilings and lighting fixtures
Adding component features, such as furniture and equipment
Setting up sheets for plotting with text, dimensions, details, tags, and schedules
Creating details

Navisworks Simulate & Manage 2013 (2 days) (20 Jun 2013)

Thu, 20 Jun 2013 12:30:00 GMT

This course is a two class covering all of the modules for Navisworks Manage and Simulate.

The Autodesk® Navisworks® Essentials course instructs students in real-world approaches to the software that combine 3D geometry from cross disciplines into one scene to enable effective model collaboration. This hands-on, instructor led class, will help students acquire the knowledge required to create, aggregate and markup the model. In this class we will introduce the students to TimeLiner, Animator, Scripter, and Presenter, as well as the Clash Detective tools within Autodesk Navisworks Manage.

Using Autodesk® Navisworks®, Simulate and Manage, students learn how to open, review, and run interference checks on 3D models with the Clash Detective. Students also learn how to link to task-scheduling files and create 4D construction simulations. Using the Animator and Scripter tools, students create interactive animations. In addition, students learn how the Presenter tools can help them create photorealistic images and animations.

Fundamental Topics:

Describe the main features and functionality of Autodesk Navisworks.
Open and append 3D files of different formats and save in the Autodesk Navisworks format for NWC, NWD and NWF file types.
Create Selection Sets and Search Sets to manage the project correctly.
Perform visual project model reviews using the built-in review and reporting tools.
Create construction simulations of a project model to validate construction schedules.
Use Animator and Scripter for interactive animations and presentations.
Add materials, lighting and backgrounds with Presenter to project models, to create realistic images.
Perform Clash Detection tests between file types of different consultant disciplines to check the Coordination of the model.
