Course Overview

SHARE

This course is intended to introduce users to the software’s user interface and the basic HVAC, electrical, and piping/plumbing components that make the Autodesk Revit software a powerful and flexible engineering modeling tool. The guide will also familiarize users with the tools required to create, document, and print the parametric model.

Course Objectives

After completing this course participants should be able to understand and/or create:

  • Working with the Autodesk Revit software’s basic viewing, drawing, and editing commands
  • Inserting and connecting MEP components and using the System Browser
  • Review Revit file worksharing, terminology, and workflow
  • Working with linked Revit files and CAD files
  • Creating spaces and zones so that you can analyze heating and cooling loads
  • Creating HVAC networks with air terminals, mechanical equipment, ducts, and pipes
  • Creating plumbing networks with plumbing fixtures and pipes
  • Creating electrical circuits with electrical equipment, devices, and lighting fixtures and adding cable trays and conduits
  • Creating HVAC and plumbing systems with automatic duct and piping layouts
