Revit 2011 library plus#
Plus you can network with other virtual attendees, watch key AU 2011 Las Vegas presentations and insider videos, and visit online exhibits-right from your desktop.ĪU Virtual previews are scheduled for mid-November. Select from 250 classes in English, Spanish, and Portuguese on a wide range of topics.
Revit 2011 library free#
Here is some info and a link to the web site:ĪU Virtual is free to all AU members. So if you cant attend AU in person sign up for Virtual AU.

I also access the AU Archive library of past classes that are available on line as well, it's a great resource! I've been going to AU for over 5 years now and always bring back a ton of information that I refer too quite often. There are 250 classes in a variety of languages covering a wide range of topics.
Revit 2011 library software#
This online event delivers on-demand technical classes on the newest releases of Autodesk products and the latest trends and challenges facing the design industry.ĪU is a great event for keeping up to date on what's new with Autodesk software as well as networking, attending informative sessions, workshops etc. If you have avoided worksets because of fear.fear not.If you are unable to attend Autodesk University this year you can sign up for Virtual AU. In fact it is quite possible now to work on a project that uses worksets and forget that you are.

I like to refer to the recent improvements to Revit's worksharing tools as "the kinder, gentler worksets" because worksets just don't get in your face anymore. (this paragraph contains dated comments referring to Revit 8.0) Some of us just have a harder time with language and rules than others! In reality they aren't hard, they are new and/or different. Worksets seem hard for new users for two reasons, new language and rules. With Revit we are able to move past the file "barrier" and reach into the individual elements that make up our building, books on shelves. In a sense Revit manages a project at an elemental level while AutoCAD manages at the file level. If you could, that would be very much like what you can do using Revit's worksets. It also allows us to see what has been returned so we may borrow them now.Īssuming you are familiar with AutoCAD and working with External Referenced files? Imagine you could use in-place Xref editing on a dwg file while others were doing the same thing to different objects from the same file. The phrase "Synchronize with Central" (or SWC, a command) and "Relinquish Editable" (options for the command) is how we return our books to the library so others can read them. This library card tells Revit who we are and what books we want to borrow or have borrowed. Our library card is a personal copy of the Central file, called a Local File. So we never have to worry about putting text on the right shelf, Revit just takes care of that, they become part of the "Shelf" of the view they are placed in. Revit allows us to put some books on our own shelves (worksets) but for the most part Revit manages the shelves for things like views, project standards, content etc. The books are every object in the project, walls, doors, windows, sheets, views, linetypes, dimension styles, text, tags, design options.everything is a book. The library in this metaphor is the Central File, Revit's term to describe the main project file. A by product of worksharing is control over the visibility of worksets because Revit allows us to manage workset visibility in each view.īack to the metaphor, in the image above Library terms are in black and the red ones are Revit terms.

It is the tool that let's many of us work on the same project at the same time. First, Revit's worksharing features are for just that, sharing.
