Autodesk® Certification signifies your experience and expertise to employers and clients around the world and, as such, is a very powerful asset for design professionals. Autodesk highly recommends that you structure your examination preparation for success. This means scheduling time to prepare, reviewing the Exam Guide, using Autodesk Official Certification Courseware, and using a variety of resources to prepare for your certification. Equally as important, actual hands-on experience is recommended. In this class, you review this process, experience questions similar to those in the exam, and learn about the materials available to you to be successful in Revit Architecture Certification.

Passing a certification exam proves to your employer and clients that you are proficient on the software needed to do your job. This class will help you prepare for the Revit Architecture Professional Certification exam. Learn tips and trick on how to use the software to answer exam questions related to objectives, quickly and correctly, to ensure your success as you sit to take your exam.

In this class, we will show how Autodesk Revit Architecture software was used for collaboration of multiple disciplines in a higher education capstone project. Revit was used to keep the project moving forward while one of the chief architecture students on the team needed to travel overseas. We will also list lessons learned in working internationally.

Are you considering a change? Is it time to make the move? Do you have the right attitude to use Revit Architecture? Changes in staff and the way we set about doing our designs may need to be rethought. We'll look at many of these issues and help ease your transition. If you already know how objects work AutoCAD Architecture and you know how a building is put together, then you're more than halfway Home. Revit® will help you continue on your BIM journey and help set you up for post-design use. Don't merely create drawings with your CAD package. Instead, create entire building designs!

Using only Revit software during the schematic design phase of the project enables you to quickly explore design alternatives through iterative design. Tapping into the information-rich models for quantity takeoffs helps to produce more accurate cost estimates, compressing the timeline from design to procurement to construction, virtually eliminating errors and omissions, and reducing the likelihood of RFIs and change orders. With integrated analysis for energy and carbon, you gain design insight where the most important design decisions are made. Perform wind and solar radiation analysis with user-friendly tools. Conduct cloud-based whole building energy analysis with web-based software. Optimize energy efficiency, and work toward carbon neutrality earlier in the design process. With faster, more accurate energy analysis of building design proposals, architects and designers can work with sustainability in mind earlier in the process, plan proactively, and build better.

Have you ever wondered what some practical everyday uses might be for the Autodesk Revit API? This class is designed to explore the many applications that are currently available through the Autodesk Exchange. The class will also explore custom-built applications for Revit software as well as mobile applications. This class will focus on how firms can use applications to create an efficient workflow and improve project documentation. Applications are allowing us to rethink the design and documentation process. Participants will leave the class with a list of free applications that they can use to optimize their architectural workflow.

As important as a good model is in a Building Information Modeling (BIM) workflow, equally important is generating a good set of construction documents, complete with detail drawings. This class will teach you how to stop getting lost in superfluous minutiae by taking full advantage of the best parts of your model and adding 2D detail components and linework, combined with display modification techniques, to create your construction details.

In this lecture you will learn about the exciting new features in Revit Architecture 2015 software. Discover new concepts of Building Information Modeling (BIM) and efficient, easy-to-use tools for parametric design and documentation.

The design development stage of a building design is an important time for refining the building design for meeting requirements, but it is also the time when good communication with the client is crucial for getting their approval. In this class, we will demonstrate ways of using Autodesk Revit software to make sure that you are fulfilling the design criteria through verifying space usage per the program, addressing room occupancy, and visually coordinating fire-rated walls and doors. We will also show how to communicate the design to the client through room data sheets, 3D plans per floor, floor plan shadowing, color schemes, and other methods.

This class will show you how to get the most out of Revit software's powerful graphic features, incorporating all of the newest features in Revit. You'll gain valuable tips, tricks, and time-proven techniques to make your drawings look great. You'll learn to enhance non-rendered presentations with "out of the box" advanced graphic techniques, as well as how to visually improve trees, plants, and people used in Revit for all non-rendered views. You'll learn more about adding photo backgrounds to presentations and renderings using a unique overlay approach, adding fully controllable color or photo backgrounds behind multiple views-and you'll get tips for improving interior and exterior rendered views. Finally, you'll learn how to use "old-world hand-drafting" techniques to add visual clarity that helps your construction documents communicate seamlessly. Learn how to use surface shading, profiling, transparency, and toning techniques to create beautiful and clear drawings.
