Autodesk Revit Structure Fundamentals
Course Length: 4 days
To take full advantage of Building Information Modeling, the Autodesk ® Revit® Structure Fundamentals
training course has been designed to teach the concepts and principles from building design through
construction documentation using the Autodesk ® Revit® (R1) Structure software. This training course is
intended to introduce students to the user interface and the basic building components of the software that
makes it a powerful and flexible structural modeling tool. The goal is to familiarize you with the tools required
to create, modify, analyze, and document the parametric model.
Topics Covered
Introduction to the Autodesk Revit software
Basic drawing and editing tools
Setting up levels and grids
Working with views
Starting a structural project based on a linked architectural model
Adding structural columns and walls
Adding foundations and structural slabs
Structural reinforcement
Beams, trusses, and framing systems
Analytical models and placing loads
Project practices to reinforce learning
Construction documents
Annotating construction documents
Detailing
Scheduling
Prerequisites
This training course introduces the fundamental skills in learning how to use the Autodesk Revit Structure
software. It is highly recommended that students have experience and knowledge in structural design and its
terminology.
