Hello, I am an electrical designer working for an engineering firm in Pittsburgh. They recently decided that two of us should being a transition to the use of Revit. The also recently decided that we can learn the entire program in a matter of days all by our selves and will not pay a single $ for so much as a tutorial download or class they are obviously not drafters) So basically it reminds me of 9 years ago when I started out in drafting school all over again! Anyway just wanted to introduce msyelf. the forum and site seem very informative. Dthon

Welcome Aboard !! I think your company decesion to install and not implement Revit will make it harder for you guys. The users here at RevitCity are always willing to help and hopefully will can be of help to you guys. Once again, Welcome !!

Hi Dthon, of course you can learn some things by tutorials (but it takes too much time), and you can count on us here to help you in what we can, so welcome to this world.

Hi, I am from India, I have about 10 years of experience in AutoCAD Drafting. Running CAD Drafting tutorial home. I just started learning Revit. I have done some building models in Revit. Is it possible for anyone who will check my sample model in Revit format and let me know if there is anything wrong in my models? Thanks Ananta

LOL, you Welcome ADNANITO... by the way about the book of SYBEX (Mastering Revit 2009) you are right, it's a helpful book, very good in did, it's almost 55€ but it's very good, I recomend, also check the HELP menu from Revit and the tutorials in Autodesk: http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/item?siteID=123112&id=11091739

Look ANANTA, I check your model and you use A LOT of OPENINGS when you don't need that, just pick in the wall, EDIT and create inside the Magenta Lines the "OPENING" you want, you don't need to create a family to do that, check that...
