Software training firm Infinite Skills Inc. this week introduced its "Learning Revit Structure 2015 Tutorial," a course designed to provide engineers and architects with a functional understanding of the primary features of this powerful 4D Building Information Modeling (BIM) program used widely at all levels of professional design. Revit Structure allows architects and engineers to design 3D models of buildings and their components, creating design plans along with a BIM database that is usable in all the stages of a building's lifecycle, from concept and design to construction and eventual demolition. Revit's powerful building models database produces highly detailed models, facilitating interdisciplinary collaboration and the production of client documents throughout the design process. Infinite Skills' Learning Revit Structure 2015 Video Tutorial is a fundamentals course, providing students with a strong foundation for beginning to use Revit's tools for structural design in a professional workflow, including its capabilities for documentation, annotation, collaboration, and
