SF Revit User Group - Advanced Techniques for Managing Building Data in Autodesk Revit

The collection and management of building data, including the requirements for rooms, equipment, and other needs, as it evolves from early design through construction documentation and as a basis for facility management, can be enhanced through advanced techniques in Autodesk Revit software. This includes linking to an external data source, automating the creation of areas and rooms, creating room data sheets, and other graphic and non-graphic processes that complement BIM. This class covers basic database theory, the structure of objects and their relation to data management, and Revit techniques for implementing this general theory in actual projects. We will also discuss third-party software and customizations, and how they are used to further advance these processes. The class goes beyond learning Revit commands and looks at the underlying information requirements of emerging integration in project delivery.

This is a repeat of a class presented at Autodesk University in December of last year.

Who Should Attend 
The class will be of interest to AEC industry professionals and software developers who are concerned with how information is managed. The topics are fairly advanced and theoretical, not focused on learning Revit commands.
