BIM & Breakfast with Autodesk Revit

Oct 22, 2007 - As part of the lead-in to the February 2008 Technology in Architecture Symposium, we continue our series of free BIM training events with several software systems.

"This free hands-on workshop will give architects & designers an overview of the essential concepts and methodologies in this paradigm shift that is sweeping the architectural industry. Revit Architecture is Autodesk's purpose-built design application for BIM (Building Information Modeling). You will be introduced to Revit Architecture's powerful 3D model organization for visualization, presentation, and creation of construction documents. Learn how to save time and reduce errors as design changes are automatically coordinated throughout the entire model and drawing set."

"Bring your own laptop and we will load the software for you. First come first serve. There will be limited seating for this event."

Presented by CVIS.
