ACU Revit case studies
ACU Revit · Put your knowledge to work in context.
The Autodesk Certified User (ACU) is the entry tier in Autodesk's four-level certification ladder, which also includes Certified Associate, Certified Professional, and Certified Expert. Autodesk describes the Certified User certification as one developed for secondary students and non-English speakers in all industries that "validates and highlights foundational Autodesk software skills and knowledge." The Revit edition applies that foundational standard to building information modeling: interface and project setup, modeling with walls, floors, roofs, and ceilings, placing components and working with families and annotation, producing views and sheets, and generating schedules, dimensions, and presentation output. The ACU Revit case studies are 5 cases and about 2,552 words.
