Revit Architecture is a building design and documentation system that works the way architects and designers think. With Autodesk Revit Architecture, architects and designers get back to what they love, designing buildings, without their software getting in the way. You can work in any view that makes sense, quickly and easily making changes to major design elements. You can see your ideas visualized on the fly with 3D views and instant shadows. You can even make latestage changes without worrying about coordinating your plans, schedules, and construction documents. This VTC course is a collection of stepbystep lessons designed to quickly teach you how to get the most out of this powerful software.
