Learning Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 Hello all, i am taking a class in AutoDesk Revit 2010. The problem is that the instructor has thrown us into the program with 2008 text books. I am seeking the "Show Mass tool" from 2008 in the 2010 version. The aasignment is to use the "Dynamic View tool" to ceate a Southwest Isometric Sun Study. I have as yet been unable to locate ether the, "Dynamic View tool" or the "Show Mass tool." Your help will be greatly appreciated. Quote
Lee Roy Posted November 21, 2011 Posted November 21, 2011 You really need a 2010 book, or you will be constantly asking questions and spending more time hunting for tools instead of using them. Quote
tzframpton Posted November 21, 2011 Posted November 21, 2011 2008 has a toolbar interface, 2010 has a Ribbon interface. You need a new book. I'd really hold the instructor accountable if I were you. Quote
Learning Posted November 23, 2011 Author Posted November 23, 2011 I agree with you, however that is not an option. The class ends soon and I am not able to afford a new book at this time. I made a similar statement about the book when the class started. Quote
Lee Roy Posted November 23, 2011 Posted November 23, 2011 I'd really hold the instructor accountable if I were you. Did you pay for the class? What product of Revit are you using (Arch/MEP/Struct/Civil)? If you're paying for the class in any way, shape or form, hold the instructor accountable for the correct literature. Really, trying to learn 2010 with a 2008 book is like trying to fly a twin-turbine jet with a single-engine license. As low as $12 at: (My choice) http://www.barnesandnoble.com/s/revit-2010?keyword=revit+2010&store=allproducts Or a PDF at Wiki: http://wikihelp.autodesk.com/Revit/enu/Community/Tutorials/Getting_Started_Guide_for_Revit_Architecture_2010 Speaking of which, I need to update my library with 2012 books...

tzframpton Posted November 23, 2011 Posted November 23, 2011 Speaking of which, I need to update my library with 2012 books... Ha, me too. Especially since I'm full blast on a new Revit MEP project come Dec 5th. *sigh*.... the life of a Revit user. Quote
Jack_O'neill Posted November 23, 2011 Posted November 23, 2011 Now wait a minute...you are taking a 2010 course that you paid for...and they provided a 2008 book? I'd make them give me my money back or have them explain to a small claims judge why that was appropriate. Does this school offer any medical courses? Do they teach nursing with a first aid pamphlet from the Red Cross? That's absurd. Quote
Lee Roy Posted November 23, 2011 Posted November 23, 2011 (edited) Ha, me too. Especially since I'm full blast on a new Revit MEP project come Dec 5th. *sigh*.... the life of a Revit user. I've been full-blast on my current project for a little while. They want a full 3D coordinated model to show off so I've been working in 2012 Architectural, MEP and Structural. Bleh........It's hell.

Lee Roy Posted November 25, 2011 Posted November 25, 2011 After reading your Gutters thread, I see that you ARE paying a community college for this course. Demand your money back. Seriously, do it. You'd have a better grasp of the program by downloading and following online tutorials, than trying to learn from someone who can't tell the difference between two VASTLY different versions of the program.
