8. Don't upload too many families to your project Revit file. 1. Start small and take your time: 1:10 2. Understand the power of Revit: 2:16 3. Have an organized workflow: 2:56 4. Don't under/over model: 3:24 5. Please don't give up on Revit: 5:01 6. Rethink your approach: 6:14 7. Build a system: 7:03
If you ever do renovation work, you will appreciate the single greatest feature in Revit, 4D. The concept of adding time to a project in Revit is so simple compared to the layering nightmare that ensues when managing phases in an Autocad based project.
I very seldom comment on anyone's videos and I would like to thank you for the videos that you put out. They have helped me get my start in Revit. I have used AutoCAD for the last 30 years and find that more and more jobs are requiring Revit files. There is one thing that you said that caused me to make these comments and that lines in AutoCAD are used for walls and basically anything else drawn in AutoCAD. While this may have been true in the beginning this is no longer the cast. I use AutoCAD Architecture 2018 and it is a full 3D program. Walls are really wally with all the info that is needed to go with them. Floors are floors a roof is a roof each of these elements is on it's own layer and has lots of parametric info to go with them. Check it out and you will see that what was in the past is truly past tense. itsmesrd
First of all thank you for that information.. second i want to ask a question witch is i just start with revit and for my training i use some photos and modeling them in AutoCad and making them 3d in revit, Am i in right direction for improving my skills?
I m unable to instal a proper revit software since ages..its like it always has some problems... i badly want to learn revit but its like i cant even begin. Please help
1 Basic explanation: Revit = Rhino/SketchUp+AutoCad all in ONE. It has extreme capabilities to create anything you want. People that says Revit is restrictive are mainly people that don't try (or test more) Massing / Families (I admit I was one of those). Once you get the hang of using Massing / Families, u will realize Rhino is actually very easy to use, but Revit is way better since it produces construction sets for you, and it is very easy to reverse mistakes or change parametric figures in Revit, as compared to Rhino since you need grasshopper, if not u have to redo the entire model for most cases.
Rhino/grasshopper wipes the floor on revit's conceptual environment. No firm out there doing complex work uses it, they all use rhino (and now rhino inside). They usually build their scripts in a way that makes it easy to recreate or modify form, then drive adaptive components in revit (with no conceptual mass behind them). I love revit for documentation and BIM, but it's good to use the best tools for each task on a project.
Don't give up on Revit . . . that's the rule that spoke to me the most. I'm guilty of starting a project in Revit, then transferring file to AutoCAD because I'm far more familiar with AutoCAD. I have to stop that now.
Anyone whats the cheapest way to get Revit? I had it under student before, but since I'm not longer attending, I need to pay. If anyone knows, I would appreciate it very much (USA)
Hallo, I start to learn revit from months, but i live in Germany and they use software named Allplan, i had no idea about this softwar. I think about if i should to learn it or Revit is enough, and what is different between them.what is your opinion on that? And thank for all your creat video.
I had tried using AllPlan some years back. It's a good software but my main problem with it was that if you make a mistake while modelling, there are limits to how far you can undo the steps taken and sometimes your only way out may be by closing the file without saving. However with Revit you can undo your steps as far back as to the point when the file was opened.
@@ShearForce1 yes maybe actually i prefer revit, but i see almost of companys in deutschland use allplan, because of this i ask, and i saw they use it, to make the tables for cost and this stuff. Till now i didn't begin with lernen, i find revit is more stable.
The hardest part for me is When i need to start structural detailing e.g. beam detail and sections or column or pad footing details. I tried to detail a reinforced concrete slab but i stopped

Autocad is very tiring just making floor plans. I’m still trying learn Revit again

The shortest and best way to learn Revit is to work on a project using Revit while seating next to an experienced Revit user.;)
After 4 years of knowing Revit, I don’t need AutoCAD Any more
Hi sir, is it possible that Revit can do what Autocad does?
@@almadinkidas Yes, but you need two years of working in Revit, than you will not go back again
Do you think it's still worth it to move to revit for an electrical engineer ?
First of all thank you for that information.. second i want to ask a question witch is i just start with revit and for my training i use some photos and modeling them in AutoCad and making them 3d in revit, Am i in right direction for improving my skills?
I planning to try out Revit I see how you work in it an I do find it interesting
Don't we all?
Love your videos
Love Revit only for modelling

Lease it by the month, I lease Autocad Light and Revit Lt for like 65 or 70 a month
Thank you...
So useful video
How can I highlight where and the shape of columns in the floor plan?

I ended up quitting. I am going to try it again.
Nice sir👍
AutoCAD is good , Revit is great.
And don't Revit under the influence.
I really like this guy's comment because one time I Revited under the influence and I ended up drawing a naked dude? 3D of course.
