Revit Structure certification proves you know the program inside and out, and it's a signal to employers and clients that you are a trustworthy professional. Study to become a Revit Structure Certified Professional with this prep course from authorized Autodesk trainer Eric Wing. He covers specific skills covered by the 35-question exam, including the three key areas covered in the certification roadmap: collaboration, modeling, and documentation. Brush up on topics such as working with levels and grids; importing and linking existing models and files; modeling structural elements such as foundations, steel and concrete framing, and stairs and ramps; adding dimensions and annotations to drawings; and producing detailed schedules and sheets.
Once you're finished with this course, you can feel confident taking the Revit Structure 2023 Certified Professional exam.
