Introduces building information modeling (BIM) using Revit Architecture software, parametric software which is a complete design and documentation solution that supports all phases of design, drawing production, and schedule development for a given project. Topics include setup, drawing and editing commands, view creation, styles, dimensioning, annotation, sections, detailing, walls, doors, windows, roofs, three-dimensional (3-D) presentation, rendering, families, and printing.
