Building Design Training

Choose from any number of ways to get the most from your design automation system. Avatech offers online, classroom, computer based, onsite, and custom education.

AutoCAD Architecture Training

AutoCAD Architecture 2010: Core Concepts
You’ll use AutoCAD® Architecture 2010 to complete drawings on a small commercial building. You’ll also learn how to create a complete construction document set and how to organize your drawings in the Project Navigator

AutoCAD Architecture 2009: Beyond the Basics
Learn how to customize walls, elevations, and sections, create massing studies and space studies, create object styles for wall, windows, doors, spaces, curtain walls, and several annotation objects, create custom content, setup project standards and customize layers and the display system.

AutoCAD MEP Training

AutoCAD MEP: Electrical Core Concepts
You’ll learn how to design, model, and make construction documents for electrical distribution systems used in commercial buildings. We’ll teach you how to design and draw electrical lighting and power systems and how to turn them into quality construction documents using AutoCAD MEP.

AutoCAD MEP: HVAC Core Concepts
You’ll learn how to determine energy requirements, add HVAC equipment, ductwork, and fittings, and create construction documents using AutoCAD MEP. The course addresses both imperial and metric systems.

AutoCAD MEP: Plumbing Core Concepts
We’ll explore the features, tools, and techniques for creating and editing plumbing designs with AutoCAD MEP. Hands-on exercises teach you how to create 3D production drawings while designing in 2D.

AutoCAD MEP: Piping Core Concepts
Learn to use AutoCAD® MEP to design, model, and make construction documents for a piping system used in commercial, institutional, and waste water environments. We’ll cover how to lay out systems from schematic design to the design-development and project-construction documentation phases.

AutoCAD Revit MEP Suite Training

Revit MEP 2010: Mechanical Core Concepts
You’ll learn about Building Information Modeling (BIM) and the tools for parametric mechanical systems design and documentation. The three-day course begins with the fundamental features of Revit MEP and then progresses through schematic design, system analysis, and construction documentation before finishing with design visualization.

Revit MEP 2010: Electrical Core Concepts
You’ll learn about Building Information Modeling (BIM) and the tools for parametric electrical systems design and documentation. The two-day course begins with the fundamental features of Revit MEP and then progresses through schematic design, system analysis, and construction documentation before finishing with design visualization.

Revit MEP: Family Creation
3D mass elements, reference planes, family categories…parameters…connectors! Each company that uses Revit MEP should employ at least one person who understands these terms and is well versed in the art of creating Families. This class is designed for experienced Revit MEP users who are interested in or tasked with creating parametric content and will explore the power of Revit MEP and its ability to create content.

Autodesk Ecotect Analysis Training

Autodesk Ecotect Analysis 2010: Core Concepts
This course offers the basics of Ecotect Analysis’s desktop and web-based tools. A variety of analysis types will be explored, as well as the importing and exporting of different CAD and analytical data.

Revit Architecture Training

Revit Architecture 2010: Core Concepts
This course covers the basics of Revit Architecture 2010, from schematic design through construction documentation. You will be introduced to the concepts of building information modeling and the tools for parametric building design and documentation.

Revit Architecture 2010: Beyond the Basics
Covering a wide range of intermediate to advanced topics, this course builds on concepts introduced in the Core Concepts class. You’ll learn about site design, advanced modeling techniques, phasing and design options, advanced scheduling, and collaborating on a design.

Revit Architecture 2010: Advanced
This course builds upon Avatech’s Revit Architecture Core Concepts and Beyond the Basics classes. This class is focused on customizing and expanding the Revit Architecture tools you work with on a daily basis, including processes for creating custom families. It presents options for energy analysis, massing studies, and tools for visualizing designs.

Revit Architecture: Essential Basics
This class pulls the most critical objectives from our Revit Architecture Core Concepts class and condenses them into a time and cost effective one day course. We will review the essentials of BIM, Modeling, Annotation and Project Completion. This class is designed for architecture students and unemployed architecture professionals, who are looking to jump-start their Revit comprehension.

Revit Architecture: Addition and Renovation Projects
Renovation and Addition projects can be very challenging in Revit Architecture if you do not know the right tools and how to use them. Topics covered include Design Options, Phasing, In Place Families, Advanced Compound Wall configurations and Documentation.

Revit Architecture: Family Creation
Family creation provides you with an outlet to develop custom content ranging from furniture to customized door tags. Although the content will be more oriented to Revit Architecture, the concepts learned here can apply to Family creation in Revit MEP and Revit Structure.

Autodesk Revit: Template Creation
In this course, you will learn the proper techniques for creating and implementing a template in Revit.

Autodesk Revit: Topography
The site tools inside Autodesk Revit provide you with the ability to develop comprehensive site documentation as well as realistic 3D models. While these are not Civil Engineering tools, they allow you to create, manage and manipulate the site to meet your specific needs.

Autodesk Revit: Multi-Discipline Project Coordination
This class is designed for people from any discipline in the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry utilizing or managing information with Revit. You will learn to manage both 3D modeled and 2D CAD information from all disciplines. You will also discover the proper techniques for exporting CAD files from Revit, controlling the 0,0 position and layering system.

Revit Architecture: Core Concepts for Interiors
This course is designed to teach you the fundamentals of Revit Architecture focusing on the tools required for interior design. It also covers some advanced modeling techniques specifically related to Interior Design within Revit Architecture.

Revit Structure Training

Revit Structure 2010: Core Concepts
This class covers the fundamentals of Autodesk Revit® Structure 2010. You’ll be introduced to the concepts of Building Information Modeling (BIM) and the tools for parametric design, analysis, and documentation. You’ll learn the core features of Autodesk Revit Structure, learn to use the 3D parametric design tools for creating and analyzing a project, and finish with construction documentation and design visualization. This class offers both imperial hands-on exercises representing real-world structural design scenarios.

Revit Structure 2009: Beyond the Basics
You’ll learn a wide range of advanced topics in Revit Structure, building on the concepts introduced in the Revit Structure Core Concepts course. Hands-on exercises teach you detailing and detail components, rebar, families, analytical analysis, as well as how to collaborate on a design with other professionals.
