Revit Families - From Beginner To Pro

Create families using Autodesk Revit, become proficient in using complex tools in one of the most popular BIM platforms

What you'll learn

How to create Revit families from scratch, from a basic conceptual level up to more complex parametric content

Requirements

A computer with either a trial or full version of Autodesk Revit 2020

A basic knowledge of the interface and general principles of Autodesk Revit 2020

Description

Learn how to create  families using Autodesk® Revit® 2020. If you are a complete beginner to an experienced user, this course will help you develop your skills and knowledge in order to create powerful Revit families.Starting out with the basic concepts, we will go from creating basic 3D geometry to developing complex systems of formula to create dynamic and highly functional families.You will no longer feel anxious when asked to create a Revit family from scratch or to edit an already existing family in your projects. This course will give you the confidence to make the necessary changes or additions to your Revit content.This course is independent of Autodesk, Inc., and is not authorized by, endorsed by, sponsored by, affiliated with, or otherwise approved by Autodesk, Inc.Autodesk, the Autodesk logo, Autodesk Revit are registered trademarks or trademarks of Autodesk, Inc., and/or its subsidiaries and/or affiliates in the USA and/or other countries.
