Objective
To teach users the concepts of Building Information Modeling and introduce the tools for parametric design, analysis, and documentation using Autodesk Revit Structure. Users will be able to complete their first Autodesk Revit Structure project after completing this class.

Who Should Attend
New users of Autodesk Revit Structure.

Description
This course covers the basics of Autodesk Revit Structure 2013. Users are introduced to the concepts of Building Information Modeling and the tools for parametric design, analysis, and documentation. They learn the fundamental features of Autodesk Revit Structure, learn to use the 3D parametric design tools for creating and analyzing a project, and finish with construction documentation and design visualization. 
This course offers hands-on exercises representing real-world structural design scenarios

Prerequisites

• Structural engineering, drafting, or architectural design experience is highly recommended. No previous CAD experience is necessary.
• A working knowledge of Microsoft Windows XP, Vista or 7
