Learning Revit

If there is one resolution I made as a result of attending the UAP National Convention last month it will be this: to learn and use Revit for my projects. One of the talk was precisely about embracing the new technology in setting up an architectural firm. Although the set-up of the office of the speaker was very advanced, I was sold out to the idea of streamlining the process using technology.

This summer I found myself working on a couple of small projects that actually gave me a lot of stress. My main problem is finding time to do the CAD works, the modelling in SketchUp, and the making of estimates and specifications. Hopefully, with Revit, I will be able to spend less time doing all of these tasks.

I am now attending a special tutorial conducted by Archt. Raagas for faculty members who are interested to learn the program. So far, it seems very easy. It is even more efficient than the sheet set feature of AutoCAD. My only problem now is where to get the software for my personal consumption. =)
