I just want to introduce myself real quick. I am located in Souther California and have been working as a CAD Drafter for about 11 years working primarily in 2D. Due to layoffs going rampid at my current place of employment and maxed out of pay as a drafter I have decided to take the plunge and learn Revit. I see Revit as the future as a standard among General Contractors and want to get on this plane that is going up. So next week I will be taking 3 days vacation from work and paying for a Revit class on my own in hopes of picking-up this new program and running to a new job. I have had the drive to learn 3D for several years but have never been in the right place at the right time to be allowed to make that step. I believe I have chosen the best 3D program for my industry backgrounds (Fire Sprinklers, Custom Homes, & Mechanical). Anyway that's enough for now and I look forward to reading any & all of your advice. MK

Welcome, first of all. As I see it, Revit is a very exciting program and getting better more and more as you discover by actually applying it to real projects. It is not easy to learn but it's a little bit difficult to put it into practice at the same time while learning it. As i said, you have to learn it while actually doing it. Like learning to swim, you have to be in the waters. In your case, you'll probably be learning Revit MEP. There will be difficulties but in the long run, you'll see your benefits. By the way Revit is not 3D, it's BIM (Building Information Modeling). You should read lots of write-ups regarding BIM along side your learning Revit. You'll find yourself overwelm of the many new ways doing things but don't give in. There's hope!

Thanks mhans, I know that there is a bit of a learnign curve especially coming from an Auto CAD background. I will do my best to just clear my mind for this calass and try not to do anything the way I used to. I read on here a couple weeks ago about some good beginner books, if somebody could re-post those suggestions I would appreciate it so I could pick one up this week. Thanks again MK

I just finished up the first day of class. It was great, I went into it without ever touching the program and tried to purge all 11 years of Auto CAD from my memory. I feel that this was the best way for me so that I don't get fet up with the new program trying to work it out on my own. After this class I can easily see that I will have a good over view of the program to then play around with it on my own.
