Revit + Sketchup + Lumion

Use Revit® BIM (Building Information Modeling) software to drive efficiency and accuracy across the project lifecycle, from conceptual design, visualization, and analysis to fabrication and construction.

• Begin modeling in 3D with accuracy and precision.

• Automatically update floor plans, elevations, and sections as your model develops.

• Let Revit handle routine and repetitive tasks with automation so you can focus on higher-value work.

Lumion is an essential tool for everyone who wants to visualize their building designs. It produces impressive, high quality videos very quickly and is extremely easy to master.

• Add trees, clouds, artistic effects, people and materials. Convert your CAD 3D model into an amazing 3D image or 3D flythrough movie, so you can share, sell and inspire.

SketchUp: You can create and edit 3D models that let you quickly explore the interplay of light, color, space and form.

• At the completion of this course, you'll be able to use SketchUp to:

  1. Use the various tools for creating and manipulating 3D forms.

  2. Create and apply surfaces to a model.
