Instructor: Thomas Weir
Class Description: The objective of this class is to explore how a large, wooden structure is modeled in Revit Structure. We’ll examine the model creation process for two projects: a 4-story university student-housing building and a church chapel. In each case, the project architect is using Revit. We will investigate how the structural model is linked and coordinated with the architectural model and how it is used during the design process. We’ll focus on wood framing and wood shear wall modeling, as well as other specific techniques required for this form of building design. The other main focus will be the derivation of 2D documentation from the model. After completing this class, you’ll have a better understanding of the techniques for wood modeling using Revit Structure.
