Revit III: Advanced

2.5 weeks | $525 | Online

Using ‘as-built’ drawings, students will model an existing single story building on a site model and will then create the model for a significant two-story expansion to that building model. Included in this project will be creating demolition plans to accommodate the new construction and rendering the final model. This project scenario is typical of projects currently being handled by architectural, engineering and construction teams who are using Revit in their offices.

After following along with the course videos and instruction, you will have a completed model, ready for presentation, documentation, and visualization.  By the conclusion of this course, students will be able to develop a BIM model independently and understand how to organize it for subsequent development into a set of integrated, interoperable construction documents. You will have access to the online course materials for one full month from when you begin.


Prerequisite: Revit II, or work experience with instructor approval.
