As a class you took this assignment seriously and did a very good job. I was most pleased with the results. Some observations are perhaps worthwhile.
- Everyone came away enthusiastic about Revit, though some recognized its limitations (see below).
- Most people found the tutorials useful, though some ignored them and some did not bother with the videos.
- Many of you have extensive prior Autocad experience and thus contrasted the menu structure there to that in Revit. Many missed the Autocad keyboard shortcuts
- In fact Revit has quite a few shortcuts
- Most people stuck with something very close to the tutorial model – and received full credit.
- A few people, however, pushed well beyond that model to explore such things as slanted walls, second floors, stairs, custom families. They found limitations of Revit in several cases, or at least found it not as easy as the tutorial.
- As in the reading assignments, a number of you did a fine job of comparing this model to your prior experience with not only Autocad, but other programs such as Rhino or Inventor.
- Unfortunately a number of you had problems with Revit crashing on CadLab machines. I’ve asked IRT to look into this, so hopefully it will improve.
