But when you need to access your view or access a tool, you should know which part of the interface you should looking for. You don’t have to remember all of the now. You can access this menu by click your right mouse button. I prefer to use ‘contextual menu’, but in the help file, they name it shortcut menu. It will guide you so you won’t get lost! 9. And also when you are playing with a new tool. Pay attention to status bar, especially if you new to Revit. If you activate door tool, the status bar will display:Ĭlick on Wall to place Door (Space bar to flip the instance left/right) Status bar is where Revit will tell you what to do. View control provides you tools for changing the drawing scale, detail level, and model graphic style (hidden, shaded, etc) Navigation bar contains navigation tools such as zoom, steering wheel, and view cube. Navigation bar is also become a standard in all Autodesk products’ interface. You can add, view, and select then modify your model here. The current view will be highlighted in the browser.ĭrawing area is where you can interact with your model. If you want to see or modify floor plan for level 2, just double click it in the browser. You can access all of the views, families, groups, and Revit links using this browser. Project browser is the most important feature to access your project. I wonder why don’t Autodesk just put it all together in contextual bar? 4. I feel a little bit annoyed wondering why does this bar still exist. In this example, the wall height, wall location line, wall offset, and radius (for arch walls). Option bar allows you to define how you want an object to be placed. Option bar only appear when you activate a tool. Like this example, you can change the wall type in element section, or you can draw an arc wall by defining it in draw section. This tab contains options related to that object. Each time you activate a tool or select an object, ribbon will show contextual tab. So if you want to place a wall, find wall tool in ribbon. And now, looks like all Autodesk 2010 products use it. You might already familiar with ribbon interface. Let’s explore the interface elements one-by-one. So click new under project category to start a new project. But besides the ribbon bar, it’s not that different )įirst time you started Revit, you will see a startup page like this.
If you use older version, you might have to refer to manual or help file. So I decided to use it, not 2009 or older. Revit just change the interface since 2010. But some specific tools only available in Revit. Sure, all Windows compliant software might look and taste the same. I believe that first thing you should getting familiar with, when learning Revit is the interface.
If you new to Revit, you might want to see the first tutorial: introduction to Revit Architecture. This is the second of Revit tutorial series on CAD Notes.
