BIM with Revit Architecture

Revit Architecture is an integrated architectural design and documentation environment. Revit users create a virtual building model of design with intelligent building elements. These smart, parametric building elements are automatically adjusted and interact with the design environment, and at the same time Revit creating views such as floor plans, sections, elevations, schedules, and so on.  This program aims to enhance the participants productivity by giving them the ability to produce below course objectives.
