AUTODESK REVIT STRUCTURAL COURSE OUTLINE
Duration: 3 weeks at 2 hrs per Day or one and Half week at 4 hrs per day or one week at Full day
To take full advantage of Building Information Modeling, the Autodesk ® Revit® Structure Full training course has been
designed to teach the concepts and principles from building design through construction documentation using the
Autodesk® Revit® (R1) Structure software. This training course is intended to introduce students to the user interface
and the entire building components of the software that makes it a powerful and flexible structural modeling tool.
The goal is to familiarize you with the tools required to create, modify, analyze, and document the parametric model.
Topics Covered
Introduction to the Autodesk Revit software
Basic drawing and editing tools
Setting up levels and grids
Working with views
Starting a structural project based on a linked architectural model
Adding structural columns and walls
Adding foundations and structural slabs
Structural reinforcement
Beams, trusses, and framing systems
Analytical models and placing loads
Project practices to reinforce learning
Construction documents
Annotating construction documents
Detailing
Scheduling
Prerequisites
