Stephen H Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 As an arch. office that primarily uses Archicad for design and Autocad for CD, Revit 8.1 was made available for almost nothing by our reseller a couple of months ago. I'm trying to get some good tutorials or books for Revit as the training budget is at absolute zero. I just found out that Revit 9 is on the way. Has anybody seen the new version? Would the R 8.1 books currently on the market (from Aubin et.) be worth using when learning 9.0? It seems by the time the new book is out, another new version is on its way. Any help or ideas would be appreciated! Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jntdigital Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 you can download the Revit Demo here: http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/item?siteID=123112&id=7142518 they have added some nice features, but i dont think it would make any 8.1 training material obsolete. also as an Archicad user, i would say that Archicad is a very capable prog to do CD's with. good luck.

Richard McCarthy Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 Personally, I think most each iteration of Revit add some good features, but generally, it isn't signicant enough that you will need a complete new training each time a new version comes out. I think once you grasp the basic idea, you can just explore Revit and learn by yourself. You can download a lot of free Revit Video tutorials on the following site to get the basics to some advance. http://www.dgcad.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
