Description

Are you considering a change? Is it time to make the move? Do you have the right attitude to use Revit Architecture? Changes in staff and the way we set about doing our designs may need to be rethought. We'll look at many of these issues and help ease your transition. If you already know how objects work AutoCAD Architecture and you know how a building is put together, then you're more than halfway Home. Revit® will help you continue on your BIM journey and help set you up for post-design use. Don't merely create drawings with your CAD package. Instead, create entire building designs!

  • Learn what's the same between AutoCAD Architecture and Revit
  • Learn how to put together the right Revit team
