Revit/LT – APDLearning

Revit/Dynamo

Revit is a leading software used in the architecture, engineering, and construction industries for building information modeling (BIM). It provides a comprehensive platform that enables designers, builders, and engineers to create intelligent 3D models. Revit’s parametric modeling tools help create accurate 3D models that can be easily updated and modified, saving time and reducing errors. It allows all aspects of building design, from structural design to building services, to be integrated into one cohesive model, facilitating collaboration among team members. Revit also provides tools to enable data analysis, simulation, and visualization, allowing stakeholders to view project progress in real-time. With Revit’s advanced features such as interoperability, schedule and cost estimation, construction documentation, and project collaboration, industry professionals can complete projects more efficiently, accurately, and effectively.

Basic 3 days

Course description: This 3-day online/onsite course is designed to introduce participants to Autodesk Revit, one of the most widely used Building Information Modeling (BIM) software. The course focuses on the fundamental principles and skills required to create and edit building models and drawings in Revit. Through a combination of tutorials, exercises and practical applications, participants will gain a solid foundation in Revit and be able to create simple building models.

Course objectives:

Understand the interface and basic concepts within Revit.
Create and edit building models with basic geometry.
Use Revit’s object library to add elements such as walls, windows and doors.
Create and edit floor plans, sections and facades.
Apply dimensions and annotations to drawings.
Work with views and layouts to organize and present the building model.

Course content:

Day 1:
- Introduction to Revit: Interface and Navigation
- Create a new project file and understand project structures
- Create basic geometric elements: Walls, floors, roofs
- Work with views and 3D views
Day 2:
- Using the object library: Windows, doors, stairs
- Create and edit floor plans, sections and facades
- Apply dimensions and annotations to drawings
- Use basic editing tools to modify geometry
Day 3:
- Work with views and layouts: Create drawing sets
- Use Revit’s parametric capabilities to modify building models
- Export drawings and models in different file formats
- Final exercises and projects

Course requirements:

Computer with internet access and the ability to install the Revit software (student version can be used).
Basic computer skills and familiarity with the Windows operating system.
No previous experience with Revit is required, but a desire to learn and explore the software is necessary.

Assessment: Participants will be assessed by participation in course activities and by completing exercises and projects. Upon completion of the course, participants will receive a certificate confirming their participation and progress in Revit.

This course description and criteria can be adapted based on specific needs or requirements of the organization or participants.

Bim components Revit families introduction to Dynamo

Course description: This 1-day online/on-site course is designed to introduce participants to the creation of BIM components (families) in Autodesk Revit and to provide a basic understanding of Dynamo for Revit, a visual programming platform that integrates with Revit. The course focuses on teaching participants how to create custom BIM components for use in Revit projects and how to use Dynamo to automate tasks and improve workflows.

Course objectives:

Understand the basics of BIM components and their role within Revit.
Create custom BIM components (families) using Revit’s family editor.
Understand the basics of visual programming and using Dynamo for Revit.
Automate tasks and improve workflows in Revit with Dynamo.

Course content:

BIM components (Revit families):
- Introduction to BIM components and the family concept in Revit
- Create simple geometry for a BIM component
- Use parameters to create customizable families
- Adding 2D and 3D geometry and parameters to families
- Export and use created families in Revit projects
Introduction to Dynamo for Revit:
- What is Dynamo and its role in Revit workflows
- The interface and basic functions of Dynamo
- Work with nodes and flows to create simple automations
- Use Dynamo to automate tasks such as creating parametric families and modifying models

Course requirements:

Computer with internet access and the ability to install Revit and Dynamo for Revit (both programs are available to students).
Basic to advanced knowledge within Revit.
No previous experience with Dynamo is required, but a basic understanding of BIM concepts and an interest in visual programming is beneficial.
