Workshop on Revit

Our Department,  in association with ISTE FISAT chapter successfully conducted a three-day workshop on Revit. The workshop was held on the 5th, 7th, and 10th of March 2025, and was attended by 70 students from the sixth semester of the B.Tech Civil Engineering. The workshop was held in the advanced computing lab of the department.
The event was inaugurated by the Head of the Department Dr. Jiji Antony, who emphasized the significance of staying updated with the latest industry trends and technological advancements. In her address, she highlighted how proficiency in cutting-edge software like Autodesk Revit could enhance students' career prospects and improve their understanding of architectural modeling and Building Information Modeling (BIM).

The workshop commenced with an introductory session on 3D modeling and Building Information Modeling (BIM). Dr. Asha Joseph, Associate Professor - the resource person, explained how BIM differs from traditional 2D and 3D drafting techniques. She provided an insightful comparison between REVIT and other drawing software like AutoCAD, Sketchup and 3Ds Max. 

The three-day workshop focused on providing hands-on training in architectural modeling of residential house using Autodesk Revit. The students were introduced to various features of Revit and its applications in real-world construction and design projects.

Ms. Sowmya V. Krishnankutty, Assistant Professor (Spl. Grade), and Mr. Abhijith R., Assistant Professor, were the other resource persons of the workshop. They actively assisted in the hands-on sessions, guiding students through the modeling process.

The fundamentals of Revit and its role in streamlining design processes through parametric modeling were explained. Students engaged in hands-on training in architectural modeling. They learned how to create floor plans, elevations, sections, and 3D views using Revit. The session also included practical exercises in adding building components, defining materials, and customizing design elements to create realistic residential house models.

The workshop provided an excellent platform for students to gain hands-on experience with Autodesk REVIT and understand its applications in modern architectural design. By the end of the three days, participants were well-acquainted with the software’s capabilities and its impact on the industry. The event was a great success, leaving students equipped with valuable skills that will aid them in their academic and professional journeys.
