InfraWorks Training                        

InfraWorks software is a tool that helps to create models that simulate our design concepts within the surrounding environment. InfraWorks software is known for its infrastructure capabilities, but this course is specifically for AEC professionals. Architects can take advantage of an intelligent environment and incorporate their designs into existing scenes. Learn how design changes become easy to accomplish by updating the Revit software model and obtaining the ability to sketch new conceptual design elements directly in InfraWorks software.

Who Should Attend

First-time users of Infraworks who need to incorporate their architectural into an existing scene of rich data.

Prerequisites

A fundamental understanding of Revit.
