I've use AEC then ADT then ACA - I like ACA - I've just started dabbling with Revit and find it exasperating. The problems I have found is that I don't want to create a new door style when the door opening switches from 910 to 1010. I find the curtain walling difficault. There are some things I like - the links between tags and object properties, and I can see it's benifits if all disaplines are using revit. But using revit and not fully exploiting the model is a waste of time (in my opinion).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9315880.post-7149074599541596172009-11-17T05:19:22.105-05:002009-11-17T05:19:22.105-05:00Well,

There are other people in my firm with more experience, including some at our "Helpdesk". We are supposed to be having a follow up "shadowing" session with the instructor from the reseller.<br /><br />I also took Paul Aubin's Mastering the Family Editor on-line course, which was quite helpful.<br /><br />The "Help" is also sometimes useful, provided I know the right term on which to search.David Kochhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07433242906997486419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9315880.post-86521828412370252592009-10-05T00:15:54.909-04:002009-10-05T00:15:54.909-04:00I feel your pain.

Of course, doing a wacky building as your first big project doesn't help.<br /><br />What training and/or book resources have you gone through in learning Revit?Matt Stachonihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04497890021333124268noreply@blogger.com
