Autodesk Revit Architecture Fundamentals - Sign Up Now!
 CAMTEC, the Training and Education Division of CAM, is offering a special class exploring Autodesk Revit Architecture software on March 25, 26, 27 and 28. This class will be held offsite at IMAGINiT Training Center in Troy.
Since building projects, themselves, tend to be extremely complex, the Autodesk Revit Architecture software is also complex. The objective of this training class is to enable participants to create full 3-D architectural project models and set them up in working drawings. This training class will focus on basic tools that the majority of participants need to work with the Autodesk Revit Architecture software.
Space is limited and going fast... please sign up ASAP to ensure your spot.
For online registration, cost and complete class information, click here. There is special discount pricing for CAM Members! For further questions, please contact Tracey Alfonsi or Patricia DuFresne at CAMTEC (248) 972-1000.
