Autocad 2D and 3D

AutoCAD is a computer-aided design software developed by the company Autodesk (hence the name AutoCAD). It allows you to draw and edit digital 2D and 3D designs more quickly and easily than you could by hand. The files can also be easily saved and stored in the cloud, so they be accessed anywhere at anytime.

  • Basics of AutoCAD: Understanding the interface, commands, and toolbars
  • Drawing and Editing: Creating 2D drawings, using lines, arcs, circles, and shapes, and learning editing tools like trim, extend, and fillet
  • Dimensioning and Annotations: Adding dimensions, text, and other annotations to your drawings for clarity
  • Layers and Properties: Working with layers to organize your drawings, including controlling visibility and properties
  • Blocks and Attributes: Creating and using blocks for repetitive elements and adding attributes for data management
  • 3D Modeling: Introduction to 3D drawing techniques and modeling features
  • Plotting and Printing: Preparing drawings for print, setting up layouts, and understanding scaling
  • Advanced Tools: Learning about advanced features like parametric constraints, dynamic blocks, and external references (Xrefs)

Revisit Architechture

Autodesk Revit : It is a building information modeling software for architects, structural engineers, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) engineers, and contractors. The original software was developed by Charles River Software, founded in 1997, renamed Revit Technology Corporation in 2000 and acquired by Autodesk in 2002. The software allows users to design a building and structure and its components in 3D, annotate the model with 2D drafting elements and access building information from the building model's database.] Revit is 4D building information modeling (BIM) application capable with tools to plan and track various stages in the building's lifecycle, from concept to construction and later maintenance and/or demolition.

  • BIM Capabilities: Revit supports the creation of intelligent 3D models that integrate various aspects of building design, such as architecture, structural engineering, and MEP (mechanical, electrical, plumbing).
  • Parametric Modeling: Users can create and manipulate elements based on parameters, allowing for easy modifications. Changes to one aspect of the model automatically update related components.
  • Multi-disciplinary Collaboration: Revit facilitates collaboration among different disciplines by allowing various team members to work on the same model, enhancing communication and reducing errors.
  • Documentation: The software generates accurate construction documents and schedules directly from the model, streamlining the documentation process.
  • Visualization: Revit offers powerful visualization tools, including photorealistic rendering and walkthroughs, helping stakeholders understand design intent and aesthetics.
  • Analysis Tools: Built-in tools allow for energy analysis, structural analysis, and performance analysis, aiding in sustainable design practices.

Applications

  • Architecture: Used for designing buildings and structures, including floor plans, elevations, and sections.
  • Structural Engineering: Enables structural engineers to create and analyze structural systems.
  • MEP Engineering: Supports the design of mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems, ensuring they integrate seamlessly with architectural and structural components.
  • Construction Management: Aids in planning and coordinating construction activities through 4D and 5D modeling.
