Re: Revit Mep Tutorials For Beginners Pdf 28

Hi, there are lots of methods, if you are willing to pay, you can buy lots of online courses or books, but if you are self learner like me, I use Youtube, it has a serious amount of tutorials that you learn from, I think if you join the Autodesk Design Academy , you can get free access to CADLearning, they got lots of leaning material (Not sure exactly of how to get the free tickets, I got it really long time ago, but they usually give some free tickets from times to times)
Practical or Theoretical? There are tons of resources available to read, but none of them will do the work for you. My suggestion is to dive in and take a project from concept to plan set; and along the way, find the information from these resources that are relevant and applicable to the task at hand. Keep in mind, there is no fast-track here, and your learning will continue forever. I've been at it for years now, and I'm still learning - and, as the years go on, re-learning stuff I had successfully done before.
Now for the mindblowing part...you are not creating separate dwg's for everything I just mentioned above! Everything is live to the main model. So if you modify something in an elevation or section it affects the model and plans etc...
In any event, if you're seriously devoted to learn, just do it, kick out the crutches and prepare yourself to the world of virtual construction. Yes, there will be some drafting and likely 2D sheets, but that's not the focus anymore. The less you try to make it work as AutoCAD did, the better off you'll be and the sooner you'll grasp the core workflows.
After you're comfortable with the basics, seek out knowledge on things like Level of Development (LOD), lifecycle data, and the like. Don't let anyone tell you that you need to prepare and model everything, or answer any technical questions about the design you're not ready to on the first day. As with design, it's a progressive, iterative process, and a decent project template and library go a long way to helping you augment your design as it evolves and matures.
I can tell you by my experience . I went through tons of videos in youtube , etc . The best way i found was through CADLEARNING , Its complete , just make sure you download all the files ( templates) and use it as the classes requires , following the steps .
Speaking of disagreeing, this is not true for anyone with architectural modeling experience. It can be true for the strictly 2D drafter but while Revit is not a drafting program, there is still a lot of drafting knowledge necessary in order to put out a quality set of documents and transferring that knowledge and/or settings to Revit is essential.
While it's true a good background in drafting practices is valuable, hopefully those skills extend beyond AutoCAD and any other software. You absolutely should retain how to create a good set, and have an eye for graphic quality.
My point was those who hold on to AutoCAD, use it as a crutch, and try to use Revit as they did AutoCAD, do have a harder time adapting to Revit. I used AutoCAD for many years, after first learning how to produce a good drawing set by hand. When I started learning Revit, I completely stopped using AutoCAD. Its twilight was passed. You'll likely still need to produce a drawing set but don't think of Revit as an upgrade from AutoCAD. Totally different.
Also - don;t forget that 3D in Revit is VERY different and MUCH smarter than AutoCAD, Inventor (OK maybe not Inventor), or 3DS Max! Please make an effort to learn how to model intelligent parametric families in Revit instead of wondering why your old geometry form AutoCAD is not working, or how to make it work in Revit.
Your online course is wonderful, the accompanying manual stellar! The pace is perfect: I was able to learn while following along with Revit open on my second screen. the course price is more than reasonable.
Thank you so much for what this course and manual did for my career! I now posses the theoretical and practical knowledge of Revit at both Revit manager and Revit production levels. Now, it's just a matter of time and experience.
I think you can do it from scratch, going the self-taught route. Myself, being a long time AutoCAD used did struggle trying to teach myself. I was all over the place with the videos and training materials. Even Lynda.com had me going in circles. I eventually had to give in and pay for a few courses. That kind of set me on the right path as far as what to learn as well as when, meaning starting from the beginning and not jumping in to complex stuff to early. I now can use the on-line training stuff a little more efficiently. When I took formal training courses, I was surprised what I missed trying to train myself. Everyone is different, and I am still in the very early training phase. So I would say dive in on your own, and if it's not working for you taking some classes.
I have 1.5 years experience with Revit. I didn't do much modelling. Just revising existing models. I do have experience with the interface. I feel like I am intermediate. Most of the Revit coursework I have seen is really basic and does not give proper insight into using it professionally. I do have a few Autocad drawing sets as a structural engineer drafter. I'd like to learn how to put this CAD set into Revit or Revit Structural. What resources, specifically can I learn to do this?
I found the best way to learn Revit is to just do a project and learn as you go. If you run into a problem, search sites like this for solutions to the problem you are having. I learned a lot from doing this and the forums at revitcity.com.

A channel with information about working with MEP. A rich library about this niche aspect of Revit. The author has a perfect command of this knowledge and is ready to share it.
Before you skip the rest of my post and start flinging words around in the comments, hear me out. I think Revit is a valuable tool and that soon (if not already) it and other BIM programs will become just part of the game and you'll have to learn it. It's either that or you can become an employer and just be out of touch with reality.
Right now the majority of the employers who are looking for and hiring interns with experience in Revit are only looking to hire people to work in Revit. You may get lucky and be tasked with teaching the old curmudgeons in the office about the fancy new software, but you don't want to do that anyway. You know better, and you don't want to be pigeonholed as a Revit monkey anymore than your forefathers and foremothers wanted to be pigeonholed as draftsmen and draftswomen. You understand that it takes more than a computer and a copy of Revit to create a building and you want to find a job that will guide and encourage you to learn about what happens outside your user interface.
