Revit Essentials
Recognition of Achievement
Overview
The Revit Essentials ROA is an accelerated program that allows students to quickly gain skills in Building Information Modelling. The program concentrates on the Revit software tools students need to construct schematic designs, visualization and detailed design/construction, 3D architectural modelling, parametric building design tools, and creating working drawings from models.

National Occupational Classification (NOC) - Government of Canada
The National Occupational Classification (NOC) provides a standardized language for describing the work performed by Canadians in the labor market. It gives statisticians, labor market analysts, career counselors, employers, and individual job seekers a consistent way to collect data as well as describe and understand the nature of work.
Entry Requirements
Students must have:
- Experience with the Windows Operating System and microcomputers.
- Ontario Secondary School Diploma or University/College Preparation. (Mature students with work experience are considered on that basis.)
Curriculum
Recommended - ATC111 or an introductory AutoCAD course or equivalent industrial experience
In this course students prepare building models and are introduced to all phases of the building process from conceptual design studies to the creation of construction documents and schedules
In this course students expand on the knowledge and skill acquired in "Revit Architecture - Fundamentals". Students prepare more complex 3D designs and create advances construction documents.
The course introduces students to the software's interface and basic HVAC, Electrical and Piping/Plumbing components that make the Revit MEP software powerful and flexible engineering modeling tool. Students become familiar with the tools necessary to create and document a complete parametric model. The practices are designed to take the student through the basics of a real world project, from linking an architectural model to an MEP template to using Revit MEP tools to design HVAC, electrical, plumbing and piping systems to create complete construction documents.
ATC711 - Revit Architecture - Fundamentals or Industry experience
This course is an introduction to Building Information modeling. The purpose is intended to cover the basic principles of Revit Structure technology and the Building Information modeling. Revit structure 2016 will be demonstrated with extensive hands-on experience in computer lab. Different topics will be covered such as: advantage of BIM, Revit interface, modeling tools, Building structure elements: columns, beams, beam systems, floors, Foundation, reinforcement, Toposurface, annotations, detailing, sheets and printing. The main objective of this course is to familiarize student with the needed tool to create a model and document a project using Revit structure.
Program Outcomes
Upon completion of the program, the student will be able to:
- Organize dimensions in a meaningful manner as required by standards.
- Develop higher-quality, more accurate architectural designs; use tools specifically built to support Building Information Modeling workflows.
- Capture and analyze concepts, and maintain their vision through design, documentation, and construction.
- Scan Revit model for collisions between elements; work with multiple users and save their work to a central file; collaborate on shared models across a WAN; streamline data management; and work from remote locations using a local server.
- Crop non-rectangular model areas faster; easily manage elevation cut-line configuration; automatically display dimension values; annotate multiple elements with a single tag; define geometry and position for beams and braces; get greater control of schedule formatting; derive construction insight from design models; calculate/track detailed material quantities, display totals in current or load values, and create details from views of a 3D model.
