Introduction to REVIT concepts
1) Click on file tab,clock on new, click on project, new project daialog box will appear, click on archtecturlal template, clivk ok. Save file as challenge 01.
2) In the file tab close the file & again open the file. Again open the file in revit home page.
3) In architecture tab, click on wall, click on on draw, click on wall. Now draw 35' horzontally, 35' vertically, again 40' horizontally & 35' vertically.
4) Click on annotate tab click on align,keep on wall faces, click on corner for horizontal distance & click on verticle distance.
5) Click on the wall, dropdown all various wall types & Switch to wall thick as per project requirement.
6) Click on view tab, click on 3d default, your 3d view of the project will open, now click on the corner of view cube & right click & click on save view & name it as view - 01, in the same way do for all other views as you wish.
7) Click on view tab, click on user interface & dropdown tick on navigation bar, navigation tool will appear, click on it do pan, zoom, orbit as per your wish.

9) In the bottom of window click on sun path make sun path on & you make changes in sun settings as you wish.
10) Click on the manage tool bar, click on project information like organisation name, building name, project issue date, project status, client name, project location, project name & project number.
11) Analyze is used for modelling & design. Analyze tool bar helps to us to perform structural, mep analysis of the building. The boundary condition enable you to define point line & area boundary condition in an analytical model.
12) You can link architectural, mep & structural models together. For example the following site plan shows 4 building model linked to one model. When you link a model into project revit opens the linked model & keeps it in memory. The more models you link in the more time it takes to open,
13) It allows the user to divide the model into worksets, which can be made editable or not editable by the current user to avoid confusion & lessen computing load. It allows users to define parameters as the design proggresses, to make model wise changes quick & easy. You can work together at different location by using cloud sharing. You share your model with all engineering departments makes changes to avoid clashes.
