ID 3715 - Building Information Modeling: Revit

Credits: 3

This junior-level course introduces students to Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Revit software and its use for three-dimensional modeling and rendering for design development, presentation, and construction drawings. Emphasis is on the appropriate use of commands, routines, operations, and settings for studying and presenting designs for the built environment. Upon successful completion of this course, students understand the software and systems studies and use those systems to develop three-dimensional computer models to represent design solutions.

Prerequisites: ID 2530 - Building Codes + Regulations and ID 2710 - Introduction to Computer Aided Design (CAD)

Notes: (Formerly ID 3715 Building Information Modeling, ID 4750 Building Information Modeling)
