utoCAD Fundamentals (Level 1 - Four Days)

Learn how to create and edit professional looking 2D drawings with this comprehensive first course in the use of AutoCAD 2012 and AutoCAD LT 2012. Even students with no previous CAD experience can progress quickly through this course which is arranged in a natural sequence that is easy to understand. Students immediately apply what they have learned from brief theory presentations in hands-on exercises using supplied drawing files. These exercises include step-by-step instructions along with clearly illustrated screen captures.

The first two days cover the indispensable core topics for working with AutoCAD. The teaching strategy is to start with a few basic tools that enable the student to create and edit a simple drawing and then continue to develop those tools. More advanced tools are introduced throughout the course. Not every command or option is covered, because the intent is to show the most essential tools and concepts.

The second two days continue with more sophisticated techniques that extend the student's mastery of the program. For example, the course goes beyond the basic skill of inserting a block to learn how to create blocks, and beyond the basic skill of using a template to understand the process of setting up a template.

Upon completion of this comprehensive AutoCAD 2012 Fundamentals course, the student will be able to create a basic 2D drawing using drawing and editing tools, organize drawing objects on layers, add text and basic dimensions, and prepare to plot.

Course Objectives: After completing this course, you will be able to:

Navigate the interface, open and close files, and use the Zoom commands to adjust the display of objects on the screen.

Describe units, function keys, and coordinate systems and create basic objects, using different data input techniques, object snaps, object snap tracking, polar tracking, and Polar Snap.

Select, modify, and adjust the properties of objects using object grips and the Move, Copy, Rotate, Mirror, and Array commands.

Create and manage layers and linetypes and obtain geometric information from objects in the drawing.

Modify objects by changing their size, shape, orientation, or geometric composition using Trim, Extend, Offset, Join, and other commands.

Create layouts, and create and manipulate viewports on the layouts. Create and edit annotation objects using multiline and single line text. Enhance the drawing's visual appearance with hatch patterns and gradient fills. Create, edit, and manage dimensions and dimension styles. Create blocks and reuse them in your drawings using the Insert command,

DesignCenter, and tool palettes. Utilize the DesignCenter and tool palettes to insert and create other content in your drawings.

Create multiple segmented polyline objects, create the smooth curve objects of splines and ellipses, and add tables to your drawings.

Create and use page setups, and plot your designs from layouts and model space. Use drawing templates to simplify the process of creating new drawings that contain

all the required dimension styles, text styles, and layers that you would otherwise create manually, each time you created a new drawing.

Page 4: UtoCAD Fundamentals

Topics include:

Understanding the AutoCAD workspace and user interface Using basic drawing, editing, and viewing tools Organizing drawing objects on layers Inserting reusable symbols (blocks) Preparing a layout to be plotted Adding text, hatching, and dimensions Using more advanced editing and construction techniques Adding parametric constraints to objects Creating local and global blocks Setting up layers, styles, and templates Learning advanced plotting and publishing options

Advanced Topics in Revit (Three Days)

Revit Architecture is a powerful Building Information Modeling (BIM) program that works the way Architects think. From Preliminary Design through Design Development, and into Construction Documents, the program streamlines the design process with a central 3D model. Changes made in one view update across all views and on the printable sheets. The name "Revit", which stands for "REVise InsTantly", implies this ease of revision that is at the heart of the software.

Since building projects themselves tend to be extremely complex, thus, Revit Architecture is a necessarily a complex program. The objective of the Advanced Topics in Revit course is to enable students who have a basic knowledge of Revit to increase their productivity through additional collaboration tools, advanced design development tools, and advanced construction document tools.

Revit MEP Fundamentals (Three Days)

Revit MEP is an advanced, powerful engineering design and documentation packing covering the disciplines of HVAC, plumbing, piping, and electrical design. This course contains a comprehensive introduction to the methods, philosophy, and procedures of Revit MEP software.

This 3-day class covers the tools for parametric MEP systems design and documentation. Taking full advantage of Building Information Modeling, the class has been designed to teach the concepts and principles of creating 3D parametric models of MEP systems from engineering design through construction documentation.

The course is intended to introduce students to the software's user interface and the basic HVAC, electrical, and plumbing/piping components that make Revit MEP a powerful and flexible engineering modeling tool. The class begins with the fundamental features of Autodesk Revit MEP, then progresses through schematic design, system analysis, and construction documentation, and finishes with creating and working with architectural models which are used as backgrounds for engineering design. The objective is to familiarize students with the tools necessary to create, document, and print the parametric model.

The course focuses squarely on the rationale and practicality of the Revit workflow. It emphasizes the process of creating projects in Revit rather than as a series of independent

commands and tools. Included are exercises representing practical, real-world engineering design scenarios. Each exercise contains step-by-step procedures and graphics to help you complete the exercise successfully. The examples and practices are designed to take the students through the basics of a full Revit MEP project from linking in an architectural model to construction documents.

Course Objectives: After completing this class, you will be able to:

Describe Building Information Modeling methodology. Use the different parts of the Revit MEP user interface and work with different types

of Revit elements and families. Manage the different views and change their properties, control the visibility and

appearance of elements in different views, and work with section, elevation, and 3D views.

Set up a project using different templates, link Revit models, share projects using worksets, define discipline settings, and import and edit DWG details.

Create spaces and zones in a Revit model. Analyze an analytical model for conducting a building performance analysis, define

heating and cooling loads information, and calculate heating and cooling loads. Create HVAC systems, generate HVAC system layouts, and create and modify

ductwork using Revit MEP tools. Layout and create piping and plumbing systems. Create electrical circuits, wiring, and conduit layouts. Monitor changes in files of other disciplines linked to Revit MEP and check and fix

interference conditions. Work with callout, detail, and drafting views. Work with text and tags, dimensions, legends, and schedules. Add titleblocks to a sheet, update the project information in a titleblock, and work

with sheets. Create an architectural model suitable for use as a background for engineering

layouts. Use architectural drawings and projects as a background for engineering layouts.

Topics: The main topics covered in the course include:

Introduction to Revit MEP, its interface, including viewing, drawing, and editing commands.

Working with linked architectural files. Creating and modifying views. Understanding Revit MEP systems in general. Creating spaces and zones. Analyzing heating and cooling loads. Working with the HVAC module to add air terminals, mechanical equipment, and

create HVAC systems. Working with the Piping module to add mechanical equipment as well as creating

hydronic piping systems. Working with fire protection systems. Working with fixtures and piping systems in the Plumbing module. Working with components, circuits, cable tray, and conduits in the Electrical module. Creating and annotating construction documents. Adding tags and creating schedules. Detailing in Revit MEP.
