The first four chapters cover many of the Revit basics needed to successfully and efficiently work with the software. Even if you will only be working with one component of Revit in your chosen profession, this book will give you important knowledge on how the other disciplines will be doing their work and valuable insight into the overall process. By the end, you will have a thorough knowledge of many of the Revit basics needed to be productive in a classroom or office environment. Along the way the building s structure, ductwork, plumbing and electrical (power and lighting) are modeled. The drawings start with the floor plans and develop all the way to photo-realistic renderings similar to the one on the cover of this book. Throughout the book you develop a two story law office. Each book also includes access to nearly 100 videos tutorials designed to further help you master Autodesk Revit. Civil is not covered, but adding topography to your model is. The topics cover the design integration of most of the building disciplines: Architectural, Interior Design, Structural, Mechanical, Plumbing and Electrical. This approach gives you a broad overview of the Building Information Modeling (BIM) process. All three disciplines of the Revit platform are introduced in this textbook. It is highly recommended that students have experience and knowledge in structural design and its terminology.Design Integration Using Autodesk Revit 2018 is designed to provide you with a well-rounded knowledge of Autodesk Revit tools and techniques. Prerequisites This student guide introduces the fundamental skills in learning how to use the Autodesk Revit Structure software. Project practices to reinforce learning.Adding foundations and structural slabs.Starting a structural project based on a linked architectural model.Introduction to the Autodesk Revit software.The goal is to familiarize you with the tools required to create, modify, analyze, and document the parametric model./p>

This student guide is intended to introduce students to the user interface and the basic building components of the software that makes it a powerful and flexible structural modeling tool. To take full advantage of Building Information Modeling, the Autodesk ® Revit ® 2018 Structure Fundamentals student guide has been designed to teach the concepts and principles from building design through construction documentation using the Autodesk ® Revit ® 2018 Structure software.
