## Overview

Advance your MEP career by mastering electrical system design using Revit in this advanced course for experienced Revit users. You’ll work through real-world project scenarios, including developing a coordinated electrical model for a complex, multi-story school building, while building the skills needed to create, manage, and document professional electrical systems within a BIM environment. The course covers essential Revit tools for electrical design, from conduit systems and panel schedules to advanced visibility controls and view templates, and aligns with Autodesk Certification Exam Objectives to support career advancement.

By the end of the course, you’ll gain experience creating 3D electrical models with lighting fixtures, panels, and wiring devices, coordinating electrical systems with architectural and other MEP models, and resolving interdisciplinary conflicts. You’ll also evaluate family parameters and constraints to support accurate scheduling, and produce professional 2D PDF drawings that combine model views, schedules, and project data using Revit’s annotation, visibility graphics, and view template tools.

## What you'll learn

- Building 3D Electrical Models: Create electrical system designs, including lighting fixtures, panels, and wiring devices within Revit's 3D environment. 
- Coordinating Multidisciplinary Models: Address model conflicts and manage interdisciplinary workflows while placing components like light fixtures on architectural ceilings. 
- Evaluating Family Parameters: Learn how Revit manages family parameters, constraints, and the setup required to create effective electrical schedules. 
- Creating Professional Drawings: Produce 2D .pdf plans that showcase your 3D model alongside schedule and project data, using Revit's Visibility Graphics, View Templates, and Annotation tools.

## Instructors

### Katie Cortis — Instructor

Katie is a licensed Mechanical Engineer in the state of Missouri. She has 10 years of experience in the mechanical design and construction industry. She’s worked on a range of different projects including Industrial, Manufacturing, Healthcare and Data on both the engineering and construction side. She currently works for a mechanical contracting group that specializes in offsite construction. Katie manages projects through the full life cycle – from project development, construction in the fabrication shop, and turnover at the project site.  Offsite construction requires fabrication level Revit models. These Revit models are output into product shop drawings which are fabricated in the local shop and shipped to project sites all over the country.
