Revit 2020: Family Creation for MEP Virtual Workshop
July 29, 2020 - 8 am - 4 pm CDT SOLD OUT

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is an approach to the entire building life cycle. Autodesk Revit for Architecture is a powerful BIM program that supports the ability to coordinate, update, and share design data with team members throughout the design construction and management phases of a building’s life. Families are the backbone of Autodesk Revit. They are the elements you add as you model a building and its services, as well as the tools you use as you are annotating views.


The objective of the Autodesk Revit Family Creation for MEP training course is to enable users who have worked with the software to expand their knowledge in creating custom system, in-place, and component families.


This Autodesk Revit training course contains practices that are specific to MEP discipline.

Topics Covered

  • Set up a component family file with a parametric framework.
  • Create family geometry.
  • Create family types.
  • Modify the visibility of components and incorporate additional family items such as controls, and add nested components.
  • Create specific families, including in-place families, profiles, annotations, and parameters.
  • This training course also contains architectural discipline-specific practices for families, including: pipe fittings, light fixture and data device.


Prerequisites

Students should be comfortable with the fundamentals of the Autodesk Revit software, as found in the Autodesk Revit Fundamentals training courses. Knowledge of basic techniques is assumed, such as creating standard element, copying and moving elements, and creating and working with views, etc. Information on Collaboration Tools, Conceptual Design, and Site and Structural Design are covered in additional training courses. This is not an introductory course. Students must be familiar and have been working with Revit to be beyond the basics.

The software used to deliver LIVE Online training has minimal hardware / software requirements. The reliability and speed of your internet connection is the most critical requirement. We recommend that you have, at minimum, a DSL connection providing greater than 56kbs of sustained throughput to eliminate drag issues caused by a slow internet connection. If your internet connection is shared with other users or if you are running additional applications over the connection (VOIP phone, VPN, etc.) a higher speed connection may be required.  We recommend you test your system configuration and internet connection prior to the class starting. Our software vendor provides a system test at the following URL:    http://www.webex.com/lp/stest/index.php?t=ppuUS.
