Revit Tutorials - Revit Structure 2012

Awesome find from Alan...  I am not sure if I ever posted about these but I thought I would re-post.  The Revit Addict YouTube channel has a whole series of Revit Structure 2012 tutorials....

Revit Student Work

Phil Read, blogger and author of many Revit books, posted about a new YouTube channel of students he worked with...  Go check out all the videos!  Great use of Revit in the classroom...

Revit in the Classroom
Phil Read
As many of you know, one of the chapters in "Beyond" section in Mastering Autodesk Revit Architecture 2012 is focused on using Revit in higher education. This past year, we had the pleasure of working with Singapore Polytechnic.


Founded in 1954, Singapore Polytechnic is the first polytechnic in Singapore that offered 3-year diploma courses. Today, there are 49 diploma programs ranging from architecture, arts and humanities, business, design, engineering to health sciences. There are 1,500 staff and 16,000 students housed in a unique green campus, which has been architecturally designed with landscaped courtyards....  Continue Reading the post....

Yale BIM Symposium Video

Videos from the Yale BIM Symposium have also been posted over at the Autodesk Education Community... Defintely worth watching ALL of them.  Uncle Phil at his best!

Autodesk and Yale University BIM Symposium

As BIM adoption accelerates throughout the building industry, so does the need for BIM integration into the education curricula of AEC disciplines. This change in the academic environment is quickly becoming a reality. On April 24, 2010, at Yale University, Autodesk Vice President Phil Bernstein and Yale Professor Peggy Deamer developed and moderated the Yale BIM Symposium: Implications for Architectural Pedagogy. The following videos represent some of the several presenters from this informative event.

• Phil Bernstein — Welcome and Introduction to BIM Discussion
• Phil Bernstein — Implications of BIM
• Peggy Deamer — BIM's Pedagogical Placement in Academia
• John Messner — Leveraging BIM to Enable the Development of Collaborative Knowledge
• Josh Emig — BIM in Integrated Design and Construction Education
• David Fano — Engaging the Tools: Digital Fabrication

Revit 2010 Links and Videos.

Some interesting Revit 2010 posts and links I have found:

• Don't use 64 bit Revit with Internet Explorer 8
• Localisation Enhancements

And a couple videos:

Comment Response:

I received a few comments about the product introductions that will lead into the next step of our Revit Classroom Workflow Chart... This was the response I posted so we are all on the same page:


The Product articles are not all autodesk as you will see and they play a crucial role in why we are using Revit. The focus of this blog is not being lost at all. If you read my welcome post (under "mission and experience" on the right hand side it clearly says:

"I would like this blog to contain tutorials done by others and myself. I would also like it to be an archive of the many questions I have received by students about Revit Architecture and the like. Finally, I would like it to encourage the use of Revit in the classroom as not only a tool but a tool that will create a smart and usable building information model."


I want to encourage students to use Revit and learn how to use it... but they must know WHY they are using it. The Introductions to the products I am showing will help you further understand the next step in the Revit Classroom Workflor Chart - Analyzation. It is much better to understand this before or while you are learning Revit because it will effect your mindset and thought process when developing a Revit Model.


There will be more videos and I have a few made already...


I do not want to create the monster that I have been trying to avoid. A bunch of BIMpanzee's that will use Revit as a drafting tool that creates "wow" factor only. I want you students to use Revit as much more than that.
