Revit Training and Resources

gregco • 2014 • 2 Answers

Hi Archinect, We (small res firm) are transitioning from ACAD to Revit. If you have recently (~18 months) gone through this process could you please advise on any resources you've utilized for the transition? I have personally used Linda.com for video tutorials and it seemed adequate and affordable but I am wondering if having in-house (San Francisco) training sessions would be better for a group. Also, given that the company will require new libraries to use in Revit, please suggest any resources that could give us a head start in populating the libraries with components/symbols/templates etc. relevant to residential models. Thank you

The three-day intensive in-office training is very useful due to the ability to tailor it to your specific template, families, project processes, and hardware. After that the Lynda is useful because the users can refer back to the lessons at any time.

online tutorials are good as a base, but it really helps to have a seasoned Revit user around to learn from and to help develop standards for the office. In house training sessions...dunno...depends on the group...I don't think you really learn software till you get in and struggle, which is why the online tutorials are better, pause and work, repeat. Get a bunch of old timers watching a presentation and they aren't going to learn shit, but they are also too lazy to dig in and struggle with tutorials either...
