This course includes creating concept designs using Autodesk Revit Architecture 2025 outlines and architectural modeling elements, analyzing them and converting them into 3D models and converting model information into documents.
The courses are designed to provide the basic skills to create a parametric building model and maintain the process. You will also be taught how to edit, customize, detail and publish these models. As a result, your final products will be 3D models, 2D drawings, schedules, detail drawings, quantity takeoffs, reports, etc.
