Course details
Revit 2024 includes an extensive suite of topography tools designed specifically for site modeling and collaboration with engineers. If you’re an architect, engineer, or construction management professional and are looking to get up to speed with the latest core functionalities, join instructor Paul Aubin to learn how to create a basic site model in Revit, regardless of where you are in the overall design process. Explore long-standing Revit features like topography and site settings as well as the brand-new Toposolid features introduced in the latest release. Paul shows you how to get started creating and editing basic toposolid elements, performing cuts, modifying type settings, rendering site and context items, and much more.
