Revit Sample Project Free
We are getting started with this program. I was wondering where we could find some 'sample' revit projects. We have gone through the tutorials and manuals, but in the end there are many questions about how one would actually create a complete set of plans for a project with this program. So if there is a place or donor where we could see what a real, complete set of plans would like like in Revit, it would really help us to understand how people are 'really' using it to get a real project done. Then we can do some reverse engineering and backtracking to see how the pieces are put together. Any takers or online sources for such a sample 'real project'?

Depending upon the 'complexity, you are talking about files that are in the 130 to 250 meg range. Also, currently, to most firms, the libility in allowing others to have access to the model(s) is not clear. There is also the issue of intellectual property, since there can be literally hundreds of custom made families in a model, and as such, many are reluctant to just 'give away' the hundreds of man-hours, not to mention the expertise required to create some of the more complex families. I used AutoCAD, then Architectural Desktop for 18 years before beginning to use Revit 5 years ago. Now, I'll probably NEVER work for another firm that is not actively using Revit. This firm is actively working to cease using structural and MEP consultants that do not, or will not use Revit on our large Collegiate projects.
Good Luck in your endeavors to learn the Revit program. One thing our company has found is that not all training is the same. Many Revit trainers are new and teaching out of the book without the construction background to know how buildings go together. Lucky for us, we have the number 1 in Florida & number 4 in the country Revit trainer. If you can't find local trainers or aren't happy with the quality of training or tech support, we offer live webcast training for Revit Archictecture, Structure and MEP, as well as rendering, implementation and family content creation. Without making this sound like a sales pitch, I do want to offer you the guarantee of your success with the migration to Revit.

I guess I'm not completely following you. If you mean there are differing ways that Revit can present information, that is true just like AutoCAD. There are some ways that changing the traditional location/method of conveying the information to the contractor will make using Revit vastly more efficient, is extremely true. Either you need to add a very experienced Revit Architect to your staff + quality TRAINING, or you will need to accept some substantial changed in the appearance of your documents for a few projects until your staff learns the program better.

That was true of the change from Hand drafting to original CAD more than 20 years ago (Unfortunately having worked through that period). It will be even more true with the actual change to a true BIM implementation. True BIM meaning using the information in the model for more automation in initial programing, creating specifications, in cost estimating, in alternates and in presentations, and in the actual fabrication of building components from the model. All of this will take another 5, 10, to 20 years in our industry to accomplish all phases, but you've got to start taking the first steps at some point.
(Sorry for preaching, I'm chairman of the local Revit User's Group) Using this forum, plus AUGI.com religiously, as well as initial outside training, as well as on-going internal training will help minimize the swimming. Also attending Autodesk University can be a huge help in make the waters fell shallower.

Regards, Steffan L. There is not a tutorial showing the building up of any of the sample models. There was at one time, but they are no longer published. The sample models are supposed to give an example of most of the standard elements you would find in a typical model so you can try and reverse engineer them if need be. 1035689 wrote: Hi, I was just curious to know if a build up tutorial, or manual existed for the Revit Sample Project, for Revit 2017?
Explore sample Revit projects and working models. To download a project file, click its file name. Then open the project in Revit. Architecture Use these files with. Whenever I want a sample project to test something with I always forget where the Autodesk sample projects are stored for Revit Architecture. Once they disappear from. Solved: I have the Revit Student Version 2017. On the download I did not get the Projects Templates for Imperial in English. The Family Template.
