| REVIT | 7/2/2024 - 11/21/2024 | T & TH | 4:30 PM -7:30 PM | Due to the fact that the sheet metal industry has started using Revit instead of AutoCAD as the software to detail mechanical projects the AutoCAD /Fabrication class has merged with the Revit class. With major focus on Revit vs. AutoCAD this course is designed as an introduction on how to use the latest Autodesk Revit MEP/fabrication software. This course will cover exporting files, importing to CAD MEP, exporting from AutoCAD to Revit system, Revit concepts, design workflow, part layout, loading databases, and reviewing of project models to name a few. The course is also designed to teach the necessary skills and procedures on how to operate the Revit software as a drafting tool for the sheet metal/HVAC Industry. This focus will be on the fundamental commands that will enable the student to successfully draw 3D objects from the introduction through advanced levels. It is designed to teach the technical skills required to become a detailer in the sheet metal industry. With that in mind, we will also cover researching contract documents, RFI’s, equipment cut sheets, submittals. This course is 24 weeks in duration and a total of 144 hours of training. | D.
