Course Description: This course introduces students to the fundamentals of Autodesk Revit, a powerful Building Information Modeling (BIM) software used in architecture, interior design, and construction.  students will learn how to create 3D building models, floor plans, sections, elevations, and presentation sheets. The course focuses on essential tools and workflows for beginners, providing hands-on experience in digital design and documentation. By the end of the course, students will complete a basic architectural project and gain the confidence to continue building in Revit.   Course Outline: Lesson 1: Getting Started with Revit
