Revit is an Autodesk product used for architecture projects. It provides a feature-rich toolset helping to drive efficient design processes in a BIM (building information modeling) environment by creating a 3D model of a building. Unlike AutoCAD, Revit is used for building-specific analyses.<\/p>\n

This all-important software has got some fascinating features such as walkthrough, rendering, etc., where you can represent the reality of the buildings, interior, and structure virtually. Revit possesses three different software, architecture, structure, and MEP. Revit architecture is extremely user friendly and there are particular tools to build walls, doors, windows, and other components that aren\u2019t available in AutoCAD. The BIM Lab<\/strong> of HCMUT-Bach Khoa<\/strong> focuses on Revit.<\/p>\n

BIM<\/strong> (Building Information Modeling<\/strong>) Lab belongs to the Faculty of Civil Engineering, Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology. This course is for beginners who are interested in architectural design-construction want to work in the field of architecture and construction on the implementation of design documents and projects based on the whole project information simulation design-BIM.<\/p>\n

Software approach: Revit basic architecture,\u00a0Revit basic texture, Revit construction, Revit MEP, Project modeling of townhouses.<\/p>\n

AutoCAD is another Autodesk\u2019s commercial computer-aided design and drafting software application. AutoCAD is probably one of the most widely used software programs used in the civil engineering industry. AutoCAD is the go-to tool for creating and testing 3D models and designs and is used by civil engineers, architects, and graphic designers. If we\u2019re talking high level, we use CAD to create sets of plans known as construction documentation. From polylines to feature lines, pipe networks to profiles, Civil 3D\u2019s range of tools will allow you to create innovative and detailed designs. New automation to help you achieve the ultimate productivity in 2D and 3D design.<\/p>\n

Excel is a spreadsheet program. Spreadsheet programs are used to perform routine calculations in engineering, especially for repetitive calculations that do not need complex programming. It features calculations, graphing tools, pivot tables, and a macro programming language called Visual Basic for Applications.<\/p>\n
