Revit Structure Professional
Revit Structure Professional Fast-Track Program
Develop the in-demand technical skills used to generate 3D models and Structural Engineering workflows using Revit Architecture and Revit Structure.
During the Revit Structure Professional Fast-Track Program, you’ll learn the fundamentals of Revit and BIM, followed by the structural specifics of using Revit Structure in the BIM process. 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 140 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 341 – Revit Structure I
You will create and develop an accurate structural model of a real-world, four-story commercial project to learn about structural BIM modeling and to effectively integrate an interactive project with other disciplines.
- Create an accurate structure, for use in all program aspects of designing a project and the construction of a real-world model using Revit Structure.
- Develop a project from the very beginning and see its completion thru all aspects of BIM modeling.
- Gain an understanding of real-world practices for the effective integration of an interactive project with other disciplines.
BIM 342 – Revit Structure II
Continue the structural project started in Revit Structure I. You will update the Revit Structure model, add annotations, set up detail sheets, create framing elevations and create a completed set of structural construction documents.
- Continue modeling an accurate structure, for use in all program aspects of project and construction of a real-world model.
- Finish developing and annotating a project from the very beginning and see its completion thru all aspects of BIM modeling and drawing production.
- Gain an understanding of real world practices for the effective integration of an interactive project with other disciplines.
BIM 361 – Introduction to Navisworks
Use Navisworks to integrate Revit, 3D AutoCAD and compatible programs into a 3D model to create clash detection between architectural, structural, MEP and fire-suppression systems.
- Explore the methodologies for integrating Revit, 3D AutoCAD and compatible software programs into a 3D model which can be used to create clash detection between various structural and MEP systems.
- Apply workflow strategies for efficient use of integrating various BIM models into clash detection analysis models.
- Create timeline animations representing 4D construction modeling and scheduling.
- Produce and resolve time-based clash detection reports which will minimize on-site construction change order requests.
