This course introduces the student to the essentials of Revit, focusing on the needs of a landscape designer. We will create a fully integrated, bi-directional model using a single project database. Develop views and schedules as reports from the model.
BUILDING INFORMATION MODELING This session is an introduction to Building Information Modeling with an overview of the Revit interface, Revit terminology and, steps for starting and navigating the model.
COORDINATING WITH ARCHITECTS AND ENGINEERS We discuss typical project organization, views and a way of customizing for more efficient ways to use the project browser, models, sheets, and views.
VIEWING THE MODEL We discuss typical landscape project organization, views and a way of customizing for more efficient ways to use the Project browser, models, sheets, and views. Typical views may include floorplans, general arrangement, grading and levels, hard landscape and furniture, soft landscape. Existing and new phase.
CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTATION As part of the class we will illustrate the methods for creating typical documentation. Including developing preliminary site plans, elevations column schedules and quantity take off schedules.
