11 Introduction Welcome to the Learning Autodesk Revit Architecture 2010 Autodesk Official Training Guide, a training guide for use in Authorized Training Center (ATC ) locations, corporate training settings, and other classroom settings. Although this guide is designed for instructor led courses, you can also use it for self paced learning. The guide encourages self learning through the use of the Autodesk Revit Architecture 2010 Help system. This introduction covers the following topics: Course objectives Prerequisites Using this guide CD contents Completing the Exercises Installing the exercise data files from the CD Imperial and metric datasets Notes, tips, and warnings Feedback This guide is complementary to the software documentation. For detailed explanations of features and functionality, refer to the Help in the software. Course Objectives After completing this course, you will be able to: Describe building information modeling, bidirectional associativity, and parametric relationships in Revit. Understand the user interface, parametric objects, and families, and start projects using templates. Create and modify levels and grids. Create a basic floor plan, add and modify walls and compound walls, use editing tools, and work with doors and windows. Work with component families. Duplicate and manage views, control object visibility in views, and create elevation, section, and 3D views. Learn how to use dimensions and constraints. Create floors and ceilings, add roofs and curtain walls, and work with stairs and railings in a building model. Learn how to create callout views and work with text and tags, detail views, and drafting views. Create schedules, rooms and room schedules, and legends and keynotes. Work with drawing sheets and titleblocks, manage revisions, and present the building model using rendering, walkthroughs, and sun and shadow settings. vii

12 Prerequisites This guide is designed for new users of Revit Architecture. No previous CAD experience is necessary. It is recommended that you have: Architectural design, drafting, or engineering experience. Microsoft Windows 2000, Microsoft Windows XP, or Microsoft Windows Vista. Using This Guide The lessons are independent of each other. However, it is recommended that you complete these lessons in the order that they are presented unless you are familiar with the concepts and functionality described in those lessons. Each chapter contains: Lessons Usually two or more lessons in each chapter. Exercises Practical, real world examples for you to practice using the functionality you have just learned. Each exercise contains step by step procedures and graphics to help you complete the exercise successfully. CD The CD attached to the back cover of this book contains all the data and drawings you need to complete the exercises in this guide. Completing the Exercises You can complete the exercise in two ways, using the book or on screen. Using the book Follow the step by step exercises in the book. On screen Click the Learning Autodesk Revit Architecture 2010 icon on your desktop, installed from the CD, and follow the step by step exercises on screen. The onscreen exercises are the same as those in the book. The onscreen version has the advantage that you can concentrate on the screen without having to glance down at your book. viii Introduction

13 After launching the onscreen exercises, you might need to alter the size of your application window to align both windows. Installing the Exercise Data Files from the CD To install the data files for the exercises: 1. Insert the CD. 2. When the setup wizard begins, follow the instructions on screen to install the data. 3. If the wizard does not start automatically, browse to the root directory of the CD and double click setup.exe. Unless you specify a different folder, the exercise files are installed in the following folder: C:\Autodesk Learning\Autodesk Revit Architecture 2010\Learning\ After you install the data from the CD, this folder contains all the files necessary to complete each exercise in this guide. Introduction ix

14 Imperial and Metric Datasets In exercises that specify units of measurement, alternative files are provided as shown in the following example: Open i_export_ifc.rvt (imperial) or m_export_ifc.rvt (metric). In the exercise steps, the imperial value is followed by the metric value in parentheses as shown in the following example: For Length, enter 13'2" (4038 mm). For exercises with no specific units of measurement, files are provided as shown in the following example: Open c_boundary_conditions.rvt (common). In the exercise steps, the unitless value is specified as shown in the following example: For Length, enter 400. Notes, Tips, and Warnings Throughout this guide, notes, tips, and warnings are called out for special attention. Notes contain guidelines, constraints, and other explanatory information. Tips provide information to enhance your productivity. Warnings provide information about actions that might result in the loss of data, system failures, or other serious consequences. Feedback We always welcome feedback on Autodesk Official Training Guides. After completing this course, if you have suggestions for improvements or if you want to report an error in the book or on the CD, please send your comments to x Introduction
