Revit Management – Templates & More

Revit is the BIM design tool of choice for the modern world, and its use is growing daily. Unfortunately, too many of us are stuck using out-of-the-box block, styles, families, and construction document output because we don’t know how to effectively set up and navigate the complexities of the Revit template and CAD Standards structures. Are you the CAD manager for a design firm, or looking to step up into that position? Does your firm spend far too much time trying to get your Revit output consistent with your company display standards, or too much time copying components from project to project? If any of those relate to you, then ZenTek Consultants is here to help you build both the CAD Management skills and practical template controls you need to automate and simplify all your projects.

This eight (8) hour course is delivered in four (4), two-hour long sessions that students can attend online, right from their own desk. A live instructor will explain the detailed functions, and address questions as the class progresses.

Note: Instructor will present using Autodesk Revit 2023. Students who wish to follow along with instructor are encouraged to use the same version. Students should have a solid understanding of Revit or have taken the Revit Exploring the Essentials course.
