Course details
Gain insight on how building information modeling (BIM) managers use Revit, and how you can align this software with your company's standards and workflow. To begin, learn how to create custom borders and shared parameters, and add a symbol list. Next, see how to create custom templates using filters, phasing, and project browser organization. This course shows you how to perform these steps and how to model callout tags, elevation markers, sections, and levels, as well as set up a typical Revit work-sharing environment and master details model.
