The Autodesk Revit software is a powerful Building Information Modeling (BIM) program that has enabled countless firms to incorporate the BIM workflow into their designs. As a key component of this workflow, Autodesk Revit allows landscape architecture firms to produce powerfully intelligent designs.

This training course has been designed to assist you in learning some of the key features of the Autodesk Revit software. The course focuses on how to create and document full 3D project models for an urban environment, as well as how to use the internal topography tools. The course begins with laying out the user interface and describing the basic drawing, editing, and viewing tools. Then, it provides instructions on how to create topographical surfaces and modify the topography using Autodesk Revit tools. This is followed by modeling hardscapes using walls, floors, and stairs, and adding components such as trees, site furniture, and planting areas. Finally, the course concludes with explaining the processes involved in taking the model to the construction documentation phase.
