BIM 3 - Revit Template & Browser

What We'll Be Doing:

Let me get this out of the way from the get-go.. the 'Revit Stuff' we're going to learn in this short course is not the cool 'n juicy stuff. We're going to learn about browser organisation, creating labels, regions, text types and dimension styles... lines styles and line weights.. filters, maybe a detail family or two.. graphic controls some of the not so fun stuff that is essential to producing good drawing outputs on a consistent basis. In other words.. a Revit Template. It may not be fun but this is the knowledge required to set you on your way to becoming a Revit Legend! 



In this Revit video tutorial we're talking about text annotations. We show you how to create, modify and personalise your own text styles. We also show you how to create new arrow heads for your leader lines.


In this Revit Fundamentals video tutorial we're showing you what each of the dimensions parameters mean and how to use them to personalise your dimension styles. This tutorial is suitable for beginner and experienced Revit users.


Detail lines are not taggable in Revit. However, in this Revit tutorial we show you how to make 2D annotation lines that are taggable. 


In this Revit video tutorial we introduce Shared Parameters and show you how to create the Shared Parameter File. We then show you how to create shared parameters and project parameters from shared parameters. By creating shared parameters we can schedule information that is not schedulable otherwise. 


In this Revit video tutorial we show you how to organise your Revit Project Browser into a hierarchy of drop-down folders.


In this Revit Basics video tutorial we introduce you to how to make Filled Regions.


In this Revit video tutorial we create window and door tags that report the Mark, Type Mark and Dimensions of windows and doors. We use visibility parameters to create multiple types with various combinations of the Mark, Type Mark and Width & Height parameters.
