Your design documents provide the fuel for creating great-looking presentation drawings with Autodesk Impression. Getting superb output in the Impression rendering pipeline starts with understanding the options available to get the best input into the system. In this class, we will demonstrate the best ways to work with Impression and Autodesk design applications. We’ll explore topics such as document preparation, output options, and best practices for streamlining the flow from design to illustration. We’ll discuss utilities within Impression, such as Style Mapping, Block Substitution, and CAD Refresh that permit automated, iterative rendering of CAD works in progress.      

 
Stairs and Railings in Revit Architecture
$99
 
This Revit 201 class focuses on the creation of stair and railing elements. We will review the two methods of creating a stair: stair run, and manually creating boundaries and risers. A custom stair will be generated by using a 2D CAD file as a design underlay. The use of reference planes to lay out your stair idea, and how to create a wall under the stair will be reviewed. In addition, an introduction to modifying stair and railing types will be discussed. The addition of custom handrails, and posts at the top and bottom of stairs will also be introduced, allowing you to create unique stair and railing combinations.

Conceptual Design Tools
$99
 
The massing tools in Revit can be used during the conceptual design phase. As the design is further refined, early data concerning square footage and volume can be taken from the conceptual model and, once approved, the conceptual model can be moved forward by converting the model into actual walls, floors, curtain walls and roofs that will be used in the model. This class introduces you to the massing tools used to create a conceptual model, query the design for square footages and convert the model into real-world building components.
