BIM Phasing and Design Options – May 21, 2024

Course Code: WRKS-9195
Section ID: 258427
Fee: $379

This day-long course introduces the students to the knowledge and skills necessary to prepare phased projects and prepare design options using Autodesk Revit. Students will gain an understanding on how to set up a phased project along with controlling the visibility and the graphic overrides necessary to prepare technical documents. Additionally, students will gain the knowledge and skills necessary to develop, evaluate, present and validate building design options to improve project workflows and stakeholder engagement. 

BIM Family Creation Fundamentals – May 22, 2024

Course Code: WRKS-9194
Section ID: 258428
Fee: $379

This day-long course introduces the student to the knowledge and skills to create and modify two-dimensional, three-dimensional, parametric, nested and annotation families in Revit. Starting with an introduction to the fundamentals of creating and editing of simple family components, the student will gain an understanding of parametric and nested families that can be used in an Autodesk Revit project. Furthermore, the student will be introduced to the process of creating annotation families to satisfy technical drawing requirements.

BIM Structural Rebar / Connections – May 23, 2024

Course Code: WRKS-9196
Section ID: 258429
Fee: $379

This day-long course introduces the student to the knowledge and skills to create and modify accurate and highly detailed three-dimensional parametrically controlled BIM content for steel reinforcing bars, typical steel-to-steel and steel-to-concrete bolted and welded connections. The course will focus on efficient workflows that leverage Structural modelling tools / functionality available in Revit. Students will work through a series of sequential exercises to model and detail a ‘typical’ small to medium-sized commercial project to an LOD 350 level or higher.

This course is designed for students with a working knowledge of Revit 2023 or later release version and some experience in Structural modelling or detailing. 

Note: Some of the content presented will feature tools only available in Revit 2024 or 2025 release versions. Students with laptops and current software versions are encouraged to bring their personal equipment for use in the classroom. Desktop computers complete with monitors and Revit 2023 are provided, however students using this equipment may not be able to actively participate in all activities.

BIM Detailing Fundamentals – May 24, 2024

Course Code: WRKS-9197
Section ID: 258430
Fee: $379

While Revit is a tool for creating three-dimensional (3D) building information models (BIM), two dimensional (2D) drafting and details remain a critical component to the project workflow. In this day-long course, the students will gain the skills and knowledge to create and manage construction details in Revit. The students will be introduced to the creation and management of annotation styles, 2D line styles, filled regions, annotation tags and detail components. Furthermore, the students will be introduced to strategies to plan and prepare technical details for construction projects.
