Program Overview

Revit, a BIM software, is used by architects, engineers, and contractors that gathers and links data on the design, construction, and operation of a building to create a unified, 3D model.

AIA Cincinnati’s Academy is hosting a three-part series on Revit, starting with three sessions targeting Beginning Revit users, then moving into classes for Intermediate and Advanced users (starting in June on the second Tuesday of the month, 8-10am).

The Revit Academy will be held on Zoom. Participants must have two monitors for the program—one to watch the instructor’s demonstration and a second to work on the provided model.
