The How to Guide to Building Autodesk® Revit® Families Volume I

Autodesk® Revit® software is specifically built for Building Information Modeling (BIM), empowering design and construction professionals to bring ideas from concept to construction with a coordinated and consistent model-based approach. Autodesk® Revit® is a single application that includes features for architectural design, MEP and structural engineering, and construction. This GUIDE is intended for the BEGINNING and INTERMEDIATE REVIT users. This GUIDE can be used as a REFERENCE for the more ADVANCE REVIT user. Within this GUIDE, SESSIONS 1-3, and 6 guides the user on how to build a SIMPLE to INTERMEDIATE REVIT Family; SESSIONS 4,5,8,10 and 11 are optional SESSIONS that the user can learn to implement to enhance the dynamics of a REVIT Family; SESSIONS 7 and 9 are practice SESSIONS where the user learns how to implement a CHECK LIST, STEPS and other SESSIONS to build a REVIT Family; SESSIONS 12-13 are SESSIONS that are normally implemented after SESSIONS 1-3, and 6 are implemented. The author recommends that the user should use this GUIDE along with a current version of REVIT beginning with a 2014 Version to receive the full effect of the GUIDE.
