In the Revit Basics training course, you will learn to use the Revit Architecture tools and how information is interrelated throughout the Revit (BIM) model. This online Revit course examines how Revit users design 3D models that simultaneously document the project and generate 2D architectural drawings containing floor plans, elevations, and 3D perspective views.

Throughout this Revit course for beginners, you will learn to use this in-demand software that employers desire new hires to possess.
