About this Course

As architects and designers start a project, they frequently think about the overall massing of a building or the area of the footprint. The Autodesk® Revit® Architecture software, using its powerful Building Information Modeling (BIM) engine, includes tools for creating mass elements that can be modified into many shapes. You can then apply walls, roofs, and floors to them to continue designing. You can also access space planning tools for setting up areas for rooms and applying colors to them to show the connections. For presentations, you can create and render perspective views.

The objective of this Autodesk Revit Architecture training course, Conceptual Design and Visualization, is to enable students who have worked with Autodesk Revit Architecture to expand their knowledge in the areas of Conceptual Design, including massing studies, space planning, visualization, and rendering.

Fundamental Topics of this Autodesk Revit Architecture training course:

• Create In-Place Conceptual Mass elements and Conceptual Mass families
  
• Create building elements from massing studies
  
• Use Rooms and Areas for space planning and analysis
  
• Create perspectives, sketches, exploded views, and solar studies
  
• Understand the concepts of rendering and lighting
