Autodesk Revit Expert Level expert

Educational goals: 

The aim of the training is to improve the skills in documentation management in Autodesk Revit software and work in BIM technology, which will improve the coordination process between the participants of the project process. The ability to prepare project documentation in BIM technology allows to acquire new investors and cope with the increasing requirements of the projects. 

Learning effects: 

• understanding the factors influencing the performance of the rvt. file, the possibility of using the advanced tools of Autodesk Revit for design, and systematizing knowledge regarding the management of the BIM model and the operation of parametric design tools. 
• creating work standards in Autodesk Revit, advanced modeling in BIM technology, creating own component and descriptive libraries, creating project and view templates, using 4D stages and using free plugins to umprove design work. 
• learning about the principles of effective work organization in BIM technology and improving design using Autodesk Revit software
