Getting Started – Video Tutorials

Instructor HandoutCreated by: Marvi Basha, Klaus Hyden und Philipp MüllerAutodesk® Student Experts TU GrazSeptember 2010

Introduction: This tutorial is conceived to allow an easy start with Autodesk Revit Architecture and to get an extensive overview of the BIM based work.

"Getting Started" is the first Tutorial of a series of three Tutorials for Autodesk Revit Architecture 2011. The Tutorials "Advanced Detailing" and „ Professional Mass Modeling “ are based on this first Tutorial and give you a deep insight into Autodesk Revit Architecture.

Information:The files were optimized for demonstration purposes, we recommend to use the matching file to every video.

We recommend to use the latest version of Autodesk Revit Architecture for this training.

You can find more learning documents and useful information on the Autodesk® Education Community.

The videos were optimized for Microsoft® Windows Media player. We recommend watching the videos in full screen mode.

The complete building is available. (RAC_2011_ENU_Tutorial_1.rvt). To comprehend the steps individually use the Revit Architecture files (step_xx.rvt) for each video.
