DESIGN A HOUSE IN REVIT IN A COUPLE OF HOURS

Building in Revit can be tough. There are different components, layers,  interfaces, levels, views, and even phases to deal with, and I haven't even mentioned the design portion of the project. You also have to be a creative yet purposeful designer.

Below are ways you can learn to improve the way you use Revit. The first video is an general introduction on how we build. The preceding videos are more in depth step by step tutorials.  If you are a beginner you will find these invaluable, if you are an expert.. I know you are always looking to learn.  Please enjoy:)
