I have finished my first Revit project. It was painful and frustrating sometimes but I always know that I could count on you. I feel so confident now, I know that I need to learn so much yet, but I think, I know enough to do my next project. I just want to thanks all you guys for your unconditional help. I would never make it without your support.
I just want to share some of the work I just did. It is not my design I just do working drawings for several architectural firms down here in South Florida. I think that all those guy are only get Revit from me from now on.
thanks
Will

Looks like you're doing a great job !

I moved your thread here, since it contains CD's which are the main purpose of this forum.

Good to see you're enjoying the power of Revit !

Nice drawings!

The next ones will be easier I'm sure! Maybe the next design will have a flat roof! :-)

Nice work, and nicely designed too! You make it look easy, but I know it's not. Great job.

Nice first one to tuck under your belt and give you some confidence to tackle the next. It's little victories usually and you've got a big one here.

Now that you have finished your first project in Revit, are you confident that you will be able to do more in the same amount of time? How many hours have you spent on the project? Of course that the learning curve does fake the number of hours, but it would be nice to know.

I just got Revit and also working on my first project. I've been reading the messages in these forums forward, backward and upside down.

Just like you, a feel sometimes very frustrated, but when I see drawings like the ones you posted and others here I get extra motivation to persevere.

Good Work.

thanks guys for your nice comments. A little background on my drawing; I usually expend an average on 100 to 120 hours for a project like that in ADT. I was surprised that the first one on Revit took me less than 100 hours and I pretty sure I will do the next in less than 80 hours And could be much faster after I could set up my templates and family libraries. I think that will be incredible productive tool for my business.
There are not to many flats roof in south Florida rain water make them pretty expensive. but I hope the next will be I little bit more modern I promises.
Marco do not give up it is really worth paying the price of the learning curve

Very nice!

It looks like you used a fair amount of 2d drafting, or line work tool on the elevations and sections. Is this true? If not, how are you getting the profile lines to make the drawings 'pop'?

I'm very impressed that you obtained this quality w/ your first Revit project.

Congrats!

Thanks jake for your nice comments. Yeah, it is true there is a lot of 2d drafting on top of my elevations and sections, I was not really happy with the way Revit present section and elevations, it was simple unacceptable. I really love the repetitive details tools it really save me a lot of work. I hope that the next version of Revit will take care of the problem.

Great job! I just purchased Revit and I am going through the tutorials right now. I'll then start a test project while I keep doing my work in autocad.

Seeing what you have done on your 1st project gets me even more excited about Revit. Do you have any 3D views or renderings of that project you could post?

Thanks Rick for your nice comments, I did not produce any rendenring for the project although I put a 3d view in the cover sheet as a complementary part of my contract, the reaction was incredible and I was granted with next project wich will include a rendering this time.I am posting the 3d view shade image that I use. I hope you like it.

The fonts I used in the project is call arch-text I found it in rugi.org
The site is down for a while now.

Awesome work, could you share the file ? Would love to do reverse engineering ?

Do you have any idea where I can find that font now? Would love to have it in my arsenal....

Nice job for your first job.
But it will be all down hill from here.(meaning it will get much easier with each project.)

Once you get into setting up view templates and object settings you will find that 2d drafting and filled regions will be a thing of the past.

Drawings look great. I also just completed my 1st set of drawings in Revit. I find it interesting that when I was learning ADT I kept a notebook of things to do and remember in an Excel (spreadsheet) that ended up being 137 rows long. My notebook in Revit is 32 rows long. Revit really does carry more of the load.
