Course Overview
TOPTo take full advantage of Building Information Modeling, the Autodesk Revit 2019: Fundamentals for MEP course has been designed to teach the concepts and principles of creating 3D parametric models of MEP system from engineering design through construction documentation.
This course is intended to introduce you to the software’s user interface and the basic HVAC, electrical, and piping/plumbing components that make the Autodesk Revit software a powerful and flexible engineering modeling tool.
This course also familiarizes with the tools required to create, document, and print the parametric model. The examples and practices are designed through the basics of a full MEP project from linking in an architectural model to construction documents.
