The course dealt with a modeling mechanism for the different systems of the building (structural system, air conditioning system, health system and lighting system) as well as the modeling of the changing architectural blocks, in addition to the methods of annotating the projects through texts, dimensions and other standard architectural symbols, direct tables of building elements to access important design information and complete details, and finish printing all documents for the building.
The RIVET program is one of the most important architectural design programs and represents the digital language of design processes. It has become a widely used application for architects and building design engineers. It is characterized by dealing with the integrated design and construction system as well as its speed in the design and presentation of facades, Setting the dimensions and drawing the axes, building the stairs and the work of the different levels, and establishing inventory tables for the architectural components, which comprise the project, and also in the work of the operational drawings, and has a very high capacity for the work of architectural designs for any mass irrespective of however complicated.
The course witnessed a distinguished presence, during which the students applied everything they took to their current studies.
