Design and Documentation in Revit

This course guides students through the process of designing in Revit from the schematic, conceptual design phase, to the construction document phase. The course starts with basic concepts, moving on to more advanced topics. The course discusses layering information and how much to incorporate into the model based on stakeholders and end users. Capturing the essential information from the BIM model is explored to develop presentations, bidding documents and construction documents to relay relevant information to clients, consultants and contractors. We discuss when it is imperative to model in 3D and when to overlay 2D linework detail. Using Enscape, we explore real-time rendering techniques that streamline the design process. The skills learned from this course help students understand the phases of design and documentation in the Revit environment.
