Imagine writing an innocent document and having it become so loved it becomes part of the history of Revit! This happened back in 2003 by a gentleman of the name of Chris Zoog,  he created a document any self respecting Revit resource needs to (and does) carry.  It’s perhaps the most re-posted Revit resource in history!  I hope you enjoy “The 6 Phases of a Revit User” as much as we have:

 

The 6 Phases of a Revit User


Phase One – Initial Excitement!!!

“Holy Crap! Look what I can do with this thing!”

 

Phase Two – First bump

“Hmmmm…? Why won’t it do what I want? That’s not how I do it in (insert other cad software here)!”

 

Phase Three – Creamy Middle

mmm… things are going more smoothly, now……mmmmm”

 

Phase Four – WTF stage

The family editor “eats you up and spits you out”!

 

Phase Five – The Enlightenment

Things really begin to click! You understand why things are happening in your model, and better yet how to control them and avoid problems. You have conquered the family editor.

 

Phase Six – Zen of Revit

You have mastered nearly all things Revit. You “know” what Revit “likes”, and what it “dislikes” during model construction, a sixth sense, really. You spend your time exploring and tweaking advanced scheduling, OBDC, external parameters, AR3. You have a template to beat all templates, families for every situation.
