CADD 2110 - Commercial Building Design w/ REVIT

This course will use Revit software to teach advanced elements of BIM modeling, while covering the basics of commercial design, project development, and construction drawings. Emphasis on problem solving through the application of the design process, incorporating building and energy codes, barrier-free design and sustainable design.  Each student will prepare concept diagrams, schematic drawings, and construction drawings.

Student Learning Outcomes:
Students will be able to:

• Move around confidently within the BIM environment. 
• Create building concepts that incorporate good sustainable design. 
• Structural and mechanical systems integration and interference checking. 
• Use BIM design options tools to create shape volumes that respond to design assignments and create multiple design option variations using design options tool.
• Effectively render a BIM model.
• Create design options to consider and evaluate alternative design strategies.
• Introduce techniques for creating and adapting components to model fixtures, fittings, and furniture.
