Discription

• Teaches you Building Information Modeling (BIM) with Autodesk Revit • Shows you how to create, document and print parametric models • Takes you through the basics of a full structural project • Covers many different building types To take full advantage of Building Information Modeling, Autodesk Revit 2023 Structure Fundamentals has been designed to teach the concepts and principles of creating 3D parametric models of structural buildings from engineering design through construction documentation. This learning guide is intended to introduce you to the user interface and the basic building components of the software that make it a powerful and flexible structural modeling tool. The goal is to familiarize you with the tools required to create, modify, analyze, and document the parametric model. The examples and practices are designed to take you through the basics of a full structural project, from linking in an architectural model to construction documents. Topics Covered • Introduction to the Autodesk Revit software. • Navigating the Revit workspace and interface. • Working with the basic sketching and modifying tools. • Creating levels and grids as datum elements for the model. • Understanding Revit families and components. • Understanding the project browser and working with views. • Starting a structural project based on a linked architectural model. • Creating a 3D building model. • Adding structural columns and walls. • Adding foundations and structural slabs. • Structural reinforcement. • Beams, trusses, and framing systems. • Analytical models and placing loads. • Project practices to reinforce learning. • Setting up sheets for plotting with text, dimensions, details, tags, and schedules. • Creating details.Table of Contents1.   Introduction to Revit 2.   Starting a Project 3.   Working with Views 4.   Revit Families 5.   Basic Sketching and Modify Tools 6.   Adding Columns 7.   Foundations 8.   Structural Framing 9.   Adding Structural Slabs 10. Structural Reinforcement 11. Creating Construction Documents 12. Working with Annotations 13. Creating Schedules 14. Creating Details       Appendix A: Additional Tools for Design Development       Appendix B: Additional Tools for Construction Documents       Appendix C: Project - Concrete Structure       Index
