Revit Architecture 2012 Essentials Online Training is designed to introduce the key concepts of Revit Architecture and the step by step procedures for each of the key tools.

Revit Architecture 2012 Essentials Online Training is broken up into 3 sections. In section 1 we provide an overview of the Key Concepts, techniques and tools. If you have never used Revit Architecture before we recommend you start with section 1 which will provide the necessary foundation for Section 2, where we review the key Modeling tools. In section 3 we review the tools to allow you to annotate you model and produce 2D documentation from the model.

If you are new to the software we recommend you go through Revit Architecture 2012 Essentials Online Training in the sequence in which it is presented. The building we create is based on a real world project (a school addition) which allows you to learn how to use the tools in the context of a real project. The sequence also represents the typical workflow in which we would likely assemble this type of project. If you’ve been using the program, but have a few gaps in your knowledge or need a little refresher, each topic was designed to be stand-alone so you can easily jump between them.

So whether you are brand new to Revit Architecture or have been trying to figure it out on your own for a while, this course should help you get up to speed quickly so that you can complete a project of your own, on your own.
