This training course is intended to introduce users to the software’s user interface and the basic HVAC, and piping/plumbing components that make the Autodesk Revit software a powerful and flexible engineering modeling tool. The course will also familiarize users with the tools required to create, document, and print the parametric model. The examples and practices are designed to take the users through the basics of a Mechanical and Plumbing project from linking in an architectural model to construction documents.

You will be using the Autodesk Revit: Fundamentals for MEP learning guide for this course. A syllabus has been provided in the Learning Guide Contents that details which chapters the instructor will be using. The guide contains practices for all disciplines, but this course will focus on the ones specific to the mechanical and plumbing disciplines.

Topics Covered in this Autodesk Revit Training Course:

• Introduction to Autodesk Revit software, including navigating the Revit Interface.
• Starting an MEP project based on a linked architectural model and creating levels and grids as datum element for the model.
• Understanding the project browser and working with views.
• Understanding Revit families and components.
• Working with the basic sketching and modifying tools.
• Copying and monitoring elements and coordinating linked models.
