No AutoCAD experience is necessary, but participants should be comfortable opening, saving and closing files; moving, copying and deleting files; locating files in different folders and reading blueprints. Exercises for the workshop are drawn from a variety of disciplines, including part design, facility layout, architectural drafting and schematics.

You should be familiar with the current or previous version of AutoCAD, as well as the topics listed in our Level 1 – Introduction to AutoCAD Workshop. Exercises for the workshop are drawn from a variety of disciplines, including part design, facility layout, architectural drafting and schematics.

Students use AutoCAD Architecture to complete drawings on a small commercial building. AutoCAD Architecture productivity-enhancing tools are used to create plans and detailed drawings. Students also learn how to create a complete construction document set and how to organize their drawings in the Project Navigator.

This hands-on course covers many of the advanced features of AutoCAD Architecture. Students learn how to customize walls, elevations, and sections, create massing studies and space studies, create object styles for wall, windows, doors, spaces, curtain walls, and several annotation objects, create custom content, setup project standards and customize layers and the display system.

No Inventor experience is necessary, but participants should be comfortable opening, saving and closing files; moving, copying and deleting files; locating files in different folders and reading blueprints. Students should have a basic understanding of mechanical drafting or design. Exercises for the workshop are designed to cover typical mechanical design requirements.

Students use Revit MEP to learn about building information modeling and the tools for parametric MEP systems design and documentation. Students begin the three-day course by learning the fundamental features of Revit MEP, and then progress through schematic design, system analysis, and construction documentation before finishing with design visualization.
