The Revit Community

Luke Johnson

It can be really had to keep up with all of the Twitter and blog data that is generated every day on the topic of Revit.  However, if you have the time to skim through the main Revit blogs and tweets, you will likely find something that will increase your productivity.

In the interest of sharing, here are a few links that may help you get started –

RevitLink – New Revit resource

Luke Johnson

This is a new Revit site that may prove very useful to you, whether you are a veteran or just starting out.  It includes Links, News, Resources and Tutorials.

The look and feel of the site is quite nice.  It is easy to navigate and looks slick.

From their webpage:
RevitLink is a source for all things related to Autodesk Revit Architecture. We offer the latest Revit news, free Revit tutorials, Revit resources, as well as useful links to other websites.

Warnings, Warnings & More Warnings (Autodesk Explorer)

Luke Johnson

This is a little plug for a new blog called Autodesk Explorer. Its still in its infancy, but if you are anything like me, you will want to add this to your extensive Revit blog reading list. There was a good tip on finding warning related objects in 3D wireframe mode:

Families Guide

Luke Johnson

Release 2011: The Families Guide was not updated for Revit 2011. Please use the 2010 edition of the Families Guide.

Autodesk – Autodesk Revit Architecture Services & Support – Families Guide

Do you get the feeling that perhaps, if Autodesk put it off long enough, they won’t have to update some of this documentation?

With the official Wiki now in operation, and a plethora of blogs, where will Autodesk draw the line with regards to Help documentation?

Content – Links and RevitProfessionals updated

Luke Johnson

There has been a few posts about Revit content recently, one being at http://chrismounts.com/content/places-find-revit-content and another at http://excel2bim.com/revitbim/?p=2238. These are related to a LinkedIn discussion on Club Revit.

Some of you would be aware of the Revit Blog Directory I have set up. I have taken this content link list and added it to the blog directory site at http://www.revitprofessionals.com/
