THE COURSE WILL MEET TWO NIGHTS EACH WEEK
THE SEMESTER IS 12 WEEKS IN DURATION

Introduction to Revit
Tuesdays and Thursdays
5 p.m. to 7 p.m.

This course will cover the basics of Autodesk Revit, an important building information modeling software for architects, engineers, and contractors. This hands-on, lab-based class presents an overview of Autodesk's Revit platform, including architecture, structure, and MEP along with key concepts of BIM and Revit. The curriculum includes an in-depth exploration of the Revit interface. Views selection methods, levels and grid, walls, doors, windows, and components, modification commands and load family, floors, ceilings, and stairs, and type and instance parameters will be manipulated for existing project. Students will import CAD drawings to convert to Revit geometry, understand the project browser and type properties palettes, add sheets, insert views onto sheets, add dimensions and text to the model, and set up the file for plotting. Students will be given plans for a Commercial Building to build in Revit.

That's pretty awesome. One of the best things I did was learn CAD awhile ago. I don't do it professionally but I use it a ton at work and for hobby stuff. Been using Autodesk Inventor lately but CAD usually translates over with a little practice.

Nice they are offering it for free.

Mechanics Institute is an American treasure.

Theres usually a nominal registration fee though but its a great place

Older than the public-schools system. Always free to the trades.

As someone who does Drafting/Design professionally I can tell you without question a class on Revit is invaluable. Revit is becoming an industry standard for building mechanical design. The company I work for gets requests for Revit files of our products constantly. I have taken a couple classes on it recently and actually remember beta testing the software in my college days. It's an interesting program.
