• Mastering the Family Editor Series
• Understanding View Range FREE

This class will introduce you to the basics of the Revit 2010 Family Editor. The Family Editor is extremely powerful but sometimes intimidating. In this five-part introduction to the Family Editor, we'll work through the creation of Revit component Families complete with constraints and parameters. Don't worry if you don't know what a constraint or parameter is; we'll cover that too. So whether you've never worked in Revit Architecture before, or have used Revit for awhile but simply avoided the Family Editor, this series will help get you acclimated to this critical and powerful aspect of using the Revit software.
This is a five-part session. Each session in the series is avaiable on DVD - five DVDs total.
