The objective of the RA100 – Hybrid Modeling – 2D to 3D Using AutoCAD and Revit is to enable you to efficiently create a full set of construction documents with seamless integration of both 2D and 3D methodologies. This course is targeting firms and AEC professionals who work managing projects in both the residential and light commercial industries. This can include multiple disciplines that need typical details to be included in 2D formats as well as a working 3D/BIM REVIT model for architecture, structure, and visual graphics for presentation. Combining the functions of AutoCAD and Revit will help users transition from 2D to 3D.
Topics Covered
Importing and using existing 2D data: CAD files, details, CD/Blueprints, JPG’s etc. in Revit.
