Revit 2009: Curtain Walls
Recorded 11/20/2008 at the Seattle Revit User Group (SEARUG)
Are you daunted by curtain walls in Revit? This presentation will demystify them. We'll look at curtain walls from A to Z. Learn the difference between the three curtain wall families provided in the default template. We'll examine how to manually control the location of mullions and also how to use the controls in the Type Properties dialog to control the layout of grid patterns and the placement of mullions on those grids. Then we'll dig even deeper to create our own mullion extrusions to create all sorts of curtain walls and sloped glazing.

Revit 2008: Raising the Roof: Creating Roofs in Revit
Recorded 11/11/2007 at the Seattle Revit User Group (SEARUG):
Roofs are one of the most complex architectural elements to model, but with Revit, you can create just about any type of roof. This class will explore the best methods for creating roofs using all of the tools in Revit. We'll explore complex roofs with varying pitch, offset plate heights, ridge and valley control, dormers, flat roofs, and more. We'll also look at the new variable thickness settings and shape editing tools for slabs, roofs, and floors. Whether you do primarily residential or commercial buildings, you'll learn how to model roofs in Revit.
Autodesk Design Review: Project Drawing and File Collaboration Made Easy
Recorded 11/28/2007 at Autodesk University:
Do you need to exchange drawings and collaborate with others who don't use AutoCAD? Creating and tracking revisions on projects is a daunting task. In this session, you'll learn how to publish AutoCAD drawings as multi-sheet DWF files and the collaborate using Autodesk Design Review. We'll cover creating DWF files; using Autodesk Design Review to view, measure, and mark up those DWF files; and then use AutoCAD's Markup Set Manager to view and respond to those markups in a seamless collaboration process. Forget all that red-lined paper. Now you can track and manage your mark-ups electronically.
AutoCAD 2008: Keep It Inside AutoCAD - Data Extraction Direct to AutoCAD Tables
Recorded 01/11/2009 at AUGI CAD Camp, Toronto:
AutoCAD has never had an easy solution for creating tables for use as parts lists, bills of materials, and schedules. The method has always been a laboriously manual method of extracting attribute data to an external file and then importing it back into AutoCAD. Not anymore. In this session, you will learn how to use new tools to add fields and extract block attributes as well as dynamic block properties directly to an AutoCAD table. Once create, those tables will automatically update when changes occur.
