Ideate, Inc. Launches Bluebeam Revu Class


San Francisco, CA, November 7, 2016-Ideate, Inc., a Bluebeam value added reseller, announced today that it has expanded its relationship with Bluebeam, Inc. to include classroom training on Bluebeam Revu for the architecture, engineering, construction, and owner (AECO) communities. Bluebeam Revu is a powerful PDF creation, editing, markup, and collaboration software.

“We decided to offer this one-day course after hearing that some of our customers use just a fraction of the tools available in Bluebeam Revu,” said Sash Kazeminejad, an award-winning instructor with Ideate and a Bluebeam Certified Instructor. “In too many cases, field or office professionals learn just what they need to get by. This course teaches the full functionality of Revu so users can achieve greater productivity. During this course, we will walk students through hands-on activities using AECO industry-based datasets. To ensure that everyone is able to start using the tools right away, we will give them a comprehensive workbook and datasets to practice with during and after the class.”

In a progressive learning structure where each session builds on previous objectives, attendees will get an overview of the software and will learn how to save time with:

· Markup tools, Revu stamps, the Tool Chest™, and the Markups list
· PDF creation
· Documentation management and set up
· Studio Session and Projects

After completing the course, attendees who pass an online test with Bluebeam will be able to distinguish themselves as “Bluebeam Certified Users.”

“One of our goals at Ideate is to help our customers get the most out of their software investments,” says Bob Palioca, president of Ideate, Inc. “This new educational offering demonstrates our commitment to achieving that goal.”

Revit Fundamentals for Interior Architecture – Online

Hello, folks, 

I wanted to report back after my last blog post, Ideate Announces Revit Architecture Fundamentals-Online.

We launched our Revit Architecture Fundamentals Online course on August 22nd, 2016, and I have to say, it has been a huge success! Students seem to really enjoy the format, and see value in Ideate, Inc. providing this online training option.

Today we are excited announce our next online offering: Revit Fundamentals for Interior Architecture – Online.

We have had many requests from our interior architecture clients asking us to teach a class geared towards their work and focus. Well, we listened and have created an online Revit class aimed at the interior architecture industry. Building on the success of the Revit Fundamentals online course, the Online Revit Fundamentals for Interior Architecture course will explore those fundamental parts of Revit that make the interior architecture industry a partner in the BIM world.

The online program:


How will the online training work? Class agendas will mirror our in house training by introducing the topic with a presentation, followed by a hands-on demonstration of the topic or function, where students follow along with the instructor, and a quick assessment of what was learned. Each topic will be 
covered in approximately 20-25 minutes, allowing you, the student, to focus on the material being covered in smaller, "bite-sized" chunks.

The class will be taught across five days, with each day occupying a four-hour block of time, break included. This allows users to spend a half a day in training, and still have time to focus on their day-to-day routines. 


Topics Will Include:

• BIM and Revit Overview
• Working with Linked Files
• As-built strategies and phasing
• Grids and Levels
• Working with Walls, Doors, Curtain Walls/Storefronts
• Generating Interior Elevations, Sections, and 3D Camera and Presentation views
• Creating Floors and Ceilings
• Employing Design Options
• Documenting the model
• Working with Schedules
• Assembling Sheets and Printing
• Overview of Worksharing

Looking Forward:

Our inaugural Revit Fundamentals for Interior Architecture online class is scheduled for November of this year, beginning Monday, November
 28, 2016 and concluding Friday, December 2, 2016. Future online classes will be released over the following months and will include topics such as Revit Families, Revit MEP Beyond the Basics, and Revit for Landscape Architecture.

I look forward to helping you continue your education, and providing this next online training opportunity from Ideate, Inc.

Take Care Until Next Time,

Ron

Ideate Announces Revit Architecture Fundamentals - Online

Hello, folks, 

Welcome back to the Ideate Blog. 

I want to share a big project I have been working on for the last few months with you: instructor-led online training. 

Those of you who know me, know my background is in Residential Design, including high-end custom residential buildings, single family residences, and multi-family units. I have trained many clients in the use of AutoCAD, AutoCAD Architecture, and Revit. I have also written technical books used in many colleges across the country. Needless to say, the last 25+ years have been very rewarding for me and I have been involved in some really fun projects.

A few years ago, I decided to head back to school and finish up my degree in Instructional Design, where I honed my skills in developing and putting together instructional materials. After a rigorous and dedicated training regimen, I graduated the day before I deployed to Afghanistan with the Oregon Army National Guard. Upon returning from military service, Ideate approached me about creating an online training course. I jumped at the opportunity to put my skills and experience to work developing and creating another great training opportunity for our clients.

Now, I am proud to announce Ideate will be providing a larger online educational presence beginning August 2016.

What is this "online training" I speak of? First off, we are taking what has been successful in our brick and mortar classrooms, and applying it to an online training environment. Our Revit instructors will teach using a “best-practices” methodology, as opposed to a feature-based methodology. Our new Revit training, which will be provided by instructors who have been in your shoes, will focus on the practical application of tools. You will learn the tools in a manner similar to how you might use them in your work, rather than us teaching you a tool out of context, and leaving it up to you to figure out how to implement it.

Many of our classes are instructor-led, and our online courses will be no different. However, given that online training is online, we have had to develop a bit more regimentation for the online environment to ensure you get the best quality training possible.

The online program:


We have developed a four step process, where each topic will be covered in 20-25 minutes. For our fundamentals course we will host six, half day classes. Each class will be four hours in length, with a break, in order to accommodate your busy work schedule, and limit all day training burnout. 


The process breakdown:


Topic Description/Lecture (
3-5 minutes): First, we will briefly explain the topic/function.

Topic Demonstration (
3-5 minutes): Next will be a demonstration from the instructor and a preview of the exercise.

Topic Exercise (
10-15 minutes): This section will be reserved for the student to work through an exercise on the topic described at the beginning.

Topic Assessment (1 minute): The final step of the process is a 1-2 question assessment of the topic, in an effort to re-enforce what was taught.

Looking forward:

As 
previously indicated, the first Ideate online education offering will be our Revit Fundamentals course, available in August 2016. Future online courses will be released over the following months to include topics such as Families, Revit for Interior Architects, Revit for Landscape Architects, AutoCAD, and Civil 3D.

I look forward to helping you continue your education, and am excited by this new education delivery system.

Take Care Until Next Time,

Ron
