BIM 123 Fundamentals of Revit
- Units
- 2
- Hours
- Lab Hours: 6
This course will cover the fundamentals of Autodesk Revit Architecture in a lab format with hands-on learning. Students will learn how to set up a new building information model; create a basic floor plan; work with basic architectural elements (walls, doors, windows, floors, ceilings, roofs, curtain walls, stairs and railings); create sections, elevations and callout views; add annotations including dimensions, text, tags, schedules and legends; and share designs by working in teams, creating architectural visualization renderings and plotting finished drawings. Students are also introduced to the basics of creating simple families.
BIM 124 Advanced Revit
- Units
- 2
- Hours
- Lab Hours: 6
- Prerequisite
- BIM 123 with C or better
This course is focused specifically on providing an intermediate to advanced level of training on Revit Architecture. The skills presented during this class are for experienced Revit users and are designed to help experienced users take the next step in advancing their current knowledge of Revit Architecture. Students will create architectural visualization renderings, use filters, section boxes, design options and phasing to present various display ideas and solutions. They will also create advanced families, develop advanced schedules using project and shared parameters and conceptual massing.
BIM 125 Planning and Managing Construction Projects With 4D CAD
- Units
- 3
- Hours
- Lecture Hours: 3
Building Information Modeling (BIM) integrates 3D drawings and 4D animations to dramatically improve the communication, coordination, and planning of construction projects, while reducing risks, errors, and costs. BIM is an in-depth resource that shows architects and building professionals how to capitalize on BIM concepts, tools, and techniques for their own building projects.
