REVIT Mechanical

Course Description:

Students use Revit MEP to learn about building information modelling and the tools for parametric Mechanical and Plumbing systems Modelling and relative to design and documentation. Students begin the three-day course by learning the fundamental features of Revit MEP, and then progress through schematic design, system analysis, and construction documentation before finishing with design visualization.

Course Objectives

The primary objective of this courseware is to teach students the concept of building information modelling and introduce the tools for parametric engineering design and documentation using Revit MEP.

After completing this course, students will be able to:

• Describe the benefits of building information modeling.

• Use the fundamental features of Revit MEP.

• Set up, import, and link projects with Revit MEP.

• Use the parametric 3D design tools to design and analyze MEP systems.

• Create detailing and drafting views.

• Collaborate with architects and engineers on projects.

• Annotate and create project schedules.

• Create construction documentation.
