Infinite Skills | Autodesk Revit Architecture 2013 Tutorial Video Course Provides Beginner-Ready Training in BIM Software
Training development company InfiniteSkills Inc has announced its new Autodesk Revit Architecture 2013 Tutorial Video Course, designed to provide a convenient and professional guide to the fundamentals of the industry-leading BIM (Building Information Modeling) solution.
The course includes 89 lessons covering topics from importing CAD files created in other programs to rendering finished models ready for virtual walkthroughs. Available on DVD-ROM or as a direct download from the InfiniteSkills website, the 6.5 hour tutorial uses a self-directed learning model to allow viewers to learn entirely at their own pace.
Autodesk Revit Architecture 2013 Tutorial Video - Training Course for Beginners
Beginning with a basic introduction to BIM concepts and the Revit family of software, the Revit Architecture 2013 training first goes through the program's user interface, examining the ribbon, project browser and key menus used in professional building design. Next, author Jay Polding moves into project setup, helping viewers work with location settings and CAD imports to create a toposurface and raw outline of the structure to be built, a dinosaur-themed museum that serves as a common model throughout the course.
The Revit training moves piece by piece through viable building design, showing how to create walls, floors, stairs, roofs, ceilings and more. As each component is covered, the Revit tutorials examine the most common professional approaches as well as variations the viewer is likely to encounter in real world projects.
The Revit 2013 training also how to manage data in the form of room item schedules and sheet lists on relevant components used in the design. Finally, the last section of the Revit 2013 training course includes chapters on model refinement, rendering, detailing and the creation of 3D views that bring the building to life.
"Jay wanted to tie the tutorials very closely to the hands-on model, to help users create something realistic and useful," said Chris Johns, content specialist for InfiniteSkills. "For anyone coming over from previous Revit training video courses, this central project is also totally new."
The Autodesk Revit Architecture 2013 Training Video Course is the eighth Revit-focused tutorial released by InfiniteSkills, which has published beginner and advanced courses on Revit MEP, Revit Structure as well as the last two editions of Revit Architecture. In addition to this beginners course, the company is also planning to develop an advanced tutorial series for Revit Architecture 2013.
"We've seen an insatiable demand for high quality training in Revit and CAD software," said Colin Boyd, sales director for InfiniteSkills. "It's truly exciting to connect expert-level professional instructors with the next wave of pros who are just learning the ropes."
