New Class "Autodesk Revit"

A new exciting class is offed this fall its called "Revit". Revit is from 1:00 to 4:00pm Tuesdays and Thursday in SMT 350, instructor Felix S.

What is Revit? Autodesk Revit an AEC BIM software for Microsoft Windows, currently developed by Autodesk, which allows the user to design with parametric modeling and drafting elements. BIM is a new Computer Aided Design (CAD) paradigm that allows for intelligent, 3D and parametric object-based design. In this way, Revit provides full bi-directional associativity. A change anywhere is a change everywhere, instantly, with no user interaction to manually update any view. A BIM model contains the building's full life cycle, from concept to construction to decommissioning. This is made possible by Revit's underlying relational database architecture which its creators call the parametric change engine. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revit
