How are you getting on?

We ( at my college ) started using Revit instead of AutoCAD, so now we don't have any classes that teach us about AutoCAD...
I started using Revit in Sep. 2008, so hard for me.. We are learning that at college and it's so much fun and very easy and fast when you're desining a big project, that's of course if you have the passion to learn it..That's what our professor says.. So, i'm doing my best and trying to learn it by myself, because school doesn't teach everything... I'm learning more things by searching and watching online lessons here and there, it's not enough though, but it's helping me.

If anyone knows good sites of teaching revit please let me know.. I really want to be good at it.. I don't want to depent on my teacher, because he goes really fast in class and it's hard to keep up with what he's doing..

I really love it and I really really really want to be good at it..

We have been using Revit in our office for about 2 years now and have various staff at differnet levels of ability an we have never looked back. As an outsource company, we offer both cad and Revit services and I can tell you that a project in Revit is far quicker and with substantially more information in the cd set.

The first point I would like to stress is that Revit is not ADT or Cad and the sooner people come to terms with this the easier the transition will become. You have to scrap your thought process for working in these programs and re-think your modelling process.

Revit is basically an data program with a graphics front end, the information you can extract from any given project via schedules is astounding and is so far ahead of other packages. The functionality of Revit is directly proportional to the users knowledge and experience.

Sure its not perfect, no program is, regardless of what you are using.
In my humble opinion, stick with it, take the time to learn all all of the functions and think beyond what you already know. It is weel worth it.

Just curious if anyone has an update on their experience with Revit. Do you like it? Would you go back to AutoCAD? Do you do everything in Revit? My head is spinning....
