revit tutor

If you have jumped onto YouTube and looked at REVIT you will see its a completely different way of working and drawing from 2D AutoCAD or even SketchUp.

Having self taught since 2013, you learn very quickly the level of depth needed in this software tool to produce a set of working drawings or a fully BIM compliant model that can be shared if required.

Get in touch to discuss what your thoughts are on moving to REVIT and what training you are looking for.
