Class Summary
This is AB3737-L Autodesk Revit Families: A Step-by-Step Introduction
This is an INTRODUCTORY class
You will learn the BASICS of creating a Revit model Family.
I am teaching the class in Revit Architecture using Architectural examples.
However, most if not all concepts should apply equally to other flavors of Revit.
I assume NO PRIOR KNOWLEDGE of the Family Editor. We will start at the
beginning.
This is a Hands-on lab. If you dont wish to follow along, please pass the mouse to
the person sitting next to you.
