Revit Architecture Professional
Revit Architecture Professional Fast-Track Program
Develop the in-demand technical skills used to create 3D models of real-world structures and buildings utilizing Revit Architecture, the world’s-leading Building Information Modeling (BIM) software program.
During the Revit Architecture Professional Fast-Track Program, you’ll learn fundamental and intermediate concepts of BIM, how information is interrelated throughout the Revit (BIM) model, and how to create a set of construction documents. All courses are taught by practicing professionals through hands-on, project-based training.
- Nationally accredited program
- Free student software
- Learn at your convenience
- Scheduled due dates to help you stay on track
- No set class times
Job Ready in Just 15 Weeks
All VDCI nationally accredited Fast-Track Programs are accelerated, condensing material into shorter, comprehensive programs. This means you’ll be able to earn a credential and enter the workforce with real-world skills in a fraction of the time of other degrees.
Training Path
A total of 150 clock hours are required from the following courses.
BIM 101 – Introduction to Revit
Start at the beginning and learn how information is inter-related throughout the Revit (BIM) model. You will design 3D building models that simultaneously document the project in schedules and in 2D construction documents.
- Describe Primary Revit Concepts and how they relate to Building Information Modeling (BIM).
- Explore the Revit User-Interface.
- Design a 3D building model to explain how information is inter-related
- Determine the appropriate workflow to complete tasks within Revit.
- Develop a project which includes floors, walls, ceilings, stairs, curtain walls, and roof design to strengthen 3D modeling and 2D documentation skills.
- Create presentation level architectural graphics.
- Catalog building information using schedules.
BIM 201 – Intermediate Revit
Learn more advanced methods to document a project. Topics include scheduling building components, using the family editor to create 2D and 3D components, refining graphics, and create an abbreviated set of construction documents.
- Integrate DWG Files to create Revit details.
- Tag elements for cost estimation and material take-offs.
- Explore the capabilities of design options, and how to present different options.
- Create 3D parametric families.
- Build customized door, material, and room schedules that can be used for construction take-offs.
- Explore BIM project Management techniques to keep models efficient and user friendly.
BIM 301 – BIM Construction Documents I
This online Revit course is the first of two Construction Document courses, using the Revit Architecture tools. You will model an existing single story commercial building (importing AutoCAD drawings as a base) and also create a site model. You will continue learning Revit when you create the model for a significant two-story expansion to that first building model. This project scenario is typical of projects currently being handled by AEC teams who use Revit in their offices.
- Apply BIM modeling tools to create an architectural model, including existing building, partial demolition and a new construction.
- Build topography for a project using existing external files and develop a site plan, including hardscape and landscaping.
- Graphically differentiate phasing of a project from existing construction through new construction.
- Produce renderings suitable for presentation and documentation.
BIM 302 – BIM Construction Documents II
You will create construction documents for the commercial building and site created in BIM 301. You will create the sheet drawings and will add keynotes, detail drawings and schedules.
- Prepare a set of architectural construction documents incorporating the site and building models created in BIM 301.
- Develop progress sets of construction documents, reflecting 30/60/90/100 percent deliverable submittals.
- Produce plan, section, and elevation views of the project for sheet layout.
- Keynote elements of the project model. Develop schedules and a limited number of architectural details extracted from the BIM model.
