Today’s technology allows architectural enthusiasts to take a step back in time and explore celebrated designs of the past. Project Soane is a crowd-sourced mission to resurrect Sir John Soane’s lost Bank of England design using modern BIM software. In this course, Paul F. Aubin shows how you can use Revit to rebuild history and submit your own contributions to historical reconstruction projects like Project Soane. He also shows how to create stunning renderings of the finished model using Revit, Showcase, and 3ds Max.

NOTE: Registration for the rendering phase of Project Soane opens in January 2016. Render the Revit or RBX models in your favorite Autodesk software for the chance to win great prizes from HP and NVIDIA.

Topics include:
Researching source materials and source drawings
Sketching and modeling architecture
Setting up the project in Revit
Modeling overall forms
Using system families
Adding details such as columns and moldings
Creating an interior model
Rendering the project
