Revit & BIM (Building Information Modeling)

The Autodesk® Revit® software is a powerful Building Information Modeling (BIM) program that works the way architects think. The program streamlines the design process through the use of a central 3D model, where changes made in one view update across all views and on the printable sheets.

Autodesk Revit for Architectural Design Training Programme - Fundamental Course
