This training course is intended to introduce students to the software’s user interface and the basic building components that make the Autodesk Revit Structure software a powerful and flexible structural modeling tool. Our goal is to familiarize you with the tools necessary to create, document, and print your parametric model. Examples and practices are designed to reflect as many different building types as possible. This course is designed for new users of Revit Structure.
