Revit is a Building Information Modeling (BIM) tool, which can be used by more than one person working on a new project. This is an important feature in collaboration within a project, between projects, and with other users, firms, and disciplines.

As architects and designers start a project, they frequently think about the overall massing of a building or the area of the footprint. The Revit software, using its powerful Building Information Modeling (BIM) engine, includes tools for creating mass elements that can be modified into many shapes.

The main purpose of the architectural tools in Revit are to design buildings: walls, doors, floors, roofs, and stairs. However, architects also frequently need to add site and structural information.

Residential projects tend to have complex, multi-faceted roofs. Building them in Revit requires more tools than what is covered in the fundamentals class. The objective of the Revit Architecture – Residential Roofs course is to enable users, who have a basic knowledge of Revit, to have a comprehensive understanding of the concepts and methods behind creating complex roofs.

As architects and designers delve deeper into project development, a topic that often arises is railings. Whether the railing needs to follow a strict code or are decorative and ornate, they are often always a requirement. In the days of 3D and Building Information Modeling (BIM) our railings should follow suit.

Residential design and Revit are not often synonymous with each other. However, this class intends to change that perception. This course will delve into design items that can truly affect construction as well as how a client perceives their future home.
