Concrete Reinforcement

Revit software provides tools for modeling 3D concrete reinforcement in an advanced Building Information Modeling environment. This training session provides insight into how to use these tools in the best way for creating complete, detailed, and accurate reinforcement designs. Learn how to use the standard reinforcement modeling, drawing, and scheduling tools. Discover the possibilities in using Adaptive Components and Dynamo for complex concrete forms and post tensions tendons. Get new ideas on using 3D models in reinforcement construction, at the expense of drawings. If you believe in a future where engineers, contractors, and fabricators communicate reinforcement design using the most intuitive way possible yet—the visual 3-dimensional representation of the future—then this class is for you!
