Lynda Revit

[Tea Rochlitz]

Iam pleased to announce two new Revit courses on the lynda.com video library authored by yours truly. Please visit my page at lynda.com to learn about these and all of my courses. (Full disclosure: I get a small referral fee if you purchase from this link)

This course shows AutoCAD drafters and designers how to migrate their CAD workflow to Autodesk Revit software. Author Paul F. Aubin details how to transfer your files and explains key distinctions between the packages. Along the way, learn how to customize the Revit settings for optimal control, get a basic handle on the modeling tools, and adjust yourself to the differences in visibility, plot style, object creation, and the user interface.

Phasing in Autodesk Revit allows you to show the complete life cycle of a project, such as a before and after or existing and proposed status, while design options allow you to save multiple iterations of a concept in a single project file. In this course, Paul F. Aubin shows how to use phasing and design options to organize multipart, multifaceted projects in Revit. The course also covers adding and assigning phases to views, scheduling phases and designating future work, working with design option sets, and presenting complex designs to clients.

Both of these course are around 2 hours in length. They focus on specific topics rather than a comprehensive look at the software. If you want a more general look at Revit Architecture overall, you can check out my other courses at lynda.com including Revit Architecture Essentials. There are also a few other courses on Revit there by other excellent authors as well. And if you want to learn more than just Revit, lynda.com is the place to go. You can learn about nearly anything you like with new topics being added every day. I highly recommend it.

Hello Julio:

Thank you for your comments. I am happy that you have enjoyed the lynda videos. As for buying the book in Mexico, do you have access to Amazon.com? I am not sure if they have a Mexican site. Otherwise, any local book seller should be able to order a copy for you. What part of Mexico? Maybe I can ask my publisher for you.

I am from NZ and have gained so much from your training videos. I have seen your tutorials on Lynda.com and has been very impressed by it. I am looking for more advanced materials for the family editor. I was wondering whether your 5 set DVDs on Families cover some advance topics that were not taken on the Lynda family tutorials. Thanks.

Thank you very much for the comments. I am so glad that you liked the lynda.com videos. If you have already watched the Family Editor training, then you have seen most of the material that is in the 5-disk set. The 5-disk set is on 2010 and I used it as a basis to do the course on lynda. There is actually another hour or so more material on lynda. However, if you have not already done so, I recommend you check out my Advanced Modeling course at lynda.com. This one covers a variety of topics, and has some additional family editor tricks. It also gets into the massing environment which is another kind of family editor. Also, check out the free resources I have on my website at I did a couple family editor labs at Autodesk University the past couple years and all the materials are posted there. You might find the Advanced Family Lab useful.

This tutorial is a single movie from the Revit: Family Curves and Formulas course by lynda.com author Paul F. Aubin. The complete course is 3 hours and 51 minutes and shows how to tame unruly parametric curves with the Revit Family Editor, and start controlling circles, arcs, arches, splines, and even complex curves like cyma moldings.
