Working In the Revit Environment

Modeling in Revit
Presents the concept of modeling in 3D while creating a full description of the building.

Working with a Common Model
Illustrates that views are not simply static representations of the building model.

Managing View Windows
Demonstrates how to open and arrange view windows in Revit.

Using Revit Families
Provides an overview of using Revit families to add content to a building model, including how to load a family, select a type, and place an instance.

Understanding Constraints
Introduces how constraints, such as dimensions and alignment can control the design intent of your model.

Working with Parameters
Demonstrates that every object in a building model has properties that affect both its behavior and description. Also shows how to modify object properties.

Controlling Visual Representation
Introduces some of the ways to customize the visual representation of the model for the view.

Controlling Visibility and Graphic Display
Demonstrates how to check for and override visibility and graphic settings of elements and element categories.

Exploring Model versus Annotation Components
Illustrates that model components display in all views, while annotations (such as tags and dimensions) only display in the view in which they are placed.

Sketching
Demonstrates when sketching is required to create geometry, such as slabs and roofs, in Revit.

Using Images in Revit
Illustrates importing, resizing, and placing an image file for use in a Revit project.

Understanding Revit Server
Presents the concept behind Revit Server, and demonstrates how to connect to Revit Server, and the Revit Server Administrator.
