Course Overview

This two-day course is for landscape architects and site planners working in or moving to Revit, whether they're coming from AutoCAD, another platform, or no formal CAD background. Coverage includes topographic modeling, site elements, planted components, hardscape, and coordination within a shared BIM project. The course builds around the arc of a real site project. You'll start with topographic modeling — creating terrain from survey data, then placing site elements: pathways, grass, planting, planting boxes, pergolas, exterior lighting, stairs, ramps, railings, and structures including walls, floors, columns, porches, decks, and custom families. From there the course moves into construction documentation: annotation, tags, scheduling, symbol management, and generating sheets. You'll produce floor plans, sections, elevations, and 3D perspectives directly from the model. Courses run over two days with a certified instructor and a maximum of 12 students in-person. Some site or architectural design experience is expected — formal CAD training is not. By the end, you'll have a complete 3D site model, a full set of documentation views, and a working BIM workflow you can apply to your next project.

Prerequisites

Basic AutoCAD or BIM exposure helpful.
