Course details
This course is designed to address the technical, software-driven aspects of creating exterior envelope systems. Instructor Eric Wing details what you need to know about exterior wall systems, roofing systems, geographical positioning, landscaping, and BIM management. Eric shows you how to not just conceptualize a design, but at the same time conceptualize a mindful approach to production all the way to construction documents. Knowing the processes in Revit not only helps, it increases your chances of a successful project time after time. Learn about exterior compound wall creation and modification, creating custom families to make your exterior walls pop, and creating modified materials to be more realistic. Eric also covers conceptual massing and how to geo reference a Civil 3D model.
