This 3-day course is recommended for all architects and building design professionals with no formal training, those transitioning from AutoCAD to Revit, or anyone interested in BIM and parametric building modeling.

Topics include: All primary features of design development through construction documentation. Users will assemble a building model complete with walls, floor, doors, windows, openings, stairs, railings, roofs, columns, and ceiling grids. Topics will progress towards construction documentation features including annotation, tags, scheduling, symbol management, and generating sheets. Students will learn to quickly create floor plans, sections, elevations, and perspectives of the 3D building model.

Prerequisites: Some architectural or building design experience and basic knowledge of computers in a windows environment. No formal CAD training is needed.

This 2-day course is recommended for all Revit users looking to learn more about the tools available in Revit, leverage the software and better manage their projects.

Applicable to: Revit Architecture and Building Design Suite.

Topics include: Importing/exporting files, linking files, conceptual design tools, family creation/modification, phases, design options, interference checking, color schemes, worksharing, site tools, advanced rendering tools.

Prerequisites: Completed Revit Architecture Introduction or instructor's consent

This 2-day course is recommended for Associates, Project Managers, CAD Managers, or Principals managing an architectural project team planning to implement or currently using Revit.

Topics include: All essential features of Revit including the opening of projects, basic editing, viewing and printing drawings. Students will learn to navigate the software, understand the way Revit works in terms of data and file interoperability. Workflow and worksharing will also be discussed.

This course is recommended for structural engineers and drafters who want to learn to use Revit Structure to model projects. The course emphasizes Revit basics, the structural components of building design, and exporting data to structural analysis programs.

Topics include: The user interface, views, elevations, levels, grids, columns, walls, frames, beams, slabs, roofs, foundations, stairs, ramps, sections, details, and construction documents. Develop a comfort level working in Revit Structure, while working with modeled elements. Manipulate and understand structural components for better control and a more accurate model.

Prerequisites: Familiarity with residential or commercial structural engineering.

This class is recommended for all design professionals working on BIM projects or using 3D design software including Civil 3D, Revit, AutoCAD Architecture, Microstation, etc. Course emphasizes the tools required to combine models from a variety of programs and review those for consistency with the intended design.

Topics include: The NavisWorks interface, working with NavisWorks file types, model navigation tools, model insertion tools, managing coordinate systems, model sectioning, object selection tools, object modification tools, and object measurement tools. Review, query, and red-line your models as your designs progress.

TimeLiner: 4D Construction Simulations. Learn to link model geometry to times and dates for playback of construction and demolition sequences to verify viability of construction plan.

Clash Detective: Learn to use the conflict identification tools to find and resolve design problems earlier in the design process.

Prerequisites: None

Reality capture is a new term for digitizing the physical world into a virtual representation in software. Reality capturing is a process of incorporating new technologies to perform accurate measurements and build data which CAD and BIM applications can use.

This course centers around Autodesks ReCap platform and its focus is on Autodesk-based technologies. In this class, you will learn about the various hardware and software used to perform reality capture.

For the hardware portion of the course, you will learn about two common sensors used in this area: LiDAR and photogrammetry. We will explore the best hardware for each discipline and the pros and cons of each. The topic will then turn to point clouds and teach the user how to view and manipulate them in Autodesk ReCap. We will also focus on geolocation and RTK GPS technologies to take the reality capture data and put it on a map.

We will then shift our focus onto native CAD and BIM applications. We will use Civil 3D to build a surface and Revit to form basic architectural objects.

In the final step, we will show how you how to present the reality capture in a beautiful InfraWorks presentation and how to share it with your team.
