Getting Started Video Tutorials for Revit Architecture 2011
This tutorial is conceived to allow an easy start with Autodesk Revit Architecture 2011 and to get an extensive overview of the power of building information modeling.

The creators of these videos asked if I could publish them on my blog... so... of course I did!! I did not watch every single one of them but from what I saw it looks to be a good resource for those of you learning Revit. Don't forget to send me an email if you have any questions not covered here, on my blog, or anywhere in the world...

For your pleasure....
