Revit-BIM Playbook is designed to inexpensively provide you with training and procedures for properly implementing Revit within a BIM design-construction project.

Field Knowledge

Since 2002, I’ve taught more than 650 architects, engineers, contractors and facility owners how to customize Revit for their teams.

My Revit training-consulting brought me into their design, engineering and construction teams; assisting them with more than $5 billion dollars of design and construction projects.

Proven 10 Step Strategy for Large Group Revit Training

Proven Revit Training Strategy for Large Revit Training ClassesProven 10 Step Strategy for Large Group Revit Training

Since 2002, I’ve used variations of this strategy to assist 150 organizations (architects, engineers, contractors, & facility owners to implement Revit. This is a scalable approach that I’ve successfully used for training the staff of small-medium sized and very large organizations.

Refer to my Client Revit Training Success Stories Page.

01) Group 1 | Provide comprehensive Basic – Intermediate training onsite for a core group of individuals from each department.

02) Group 1 helps the trainer(s) to create relevant custom course content for their respective departments.

03) Training course content has a two-fold purpose; create custom training content, create and document company & department specific graphics & BIM standards.

04) The next set of trainees (Group 2) will train only on company & department specific content; thereby reducing their training time & budget by learning only what they need to know for their roles-positions.

05) Group 1 trains in 1 day increments; with a minimum of 1 day off between classes. This team needs time to try what they’ve learned and is collaborating their recommendations with the trainer. A Expert Revit consultant can use this process to minimize their initial consulting-assessment time to kick off the Revit implementation. Think of it as a “design-build” implementation-training process; with a recognized description as “Process Education” or “Process Training”.

06) Group 2 trainees is much larger and is trained in 4 hour increments; also onsite. I typically train departments separately using the training content developed from the first group of trainees. For example, I may train the Interiors/Fixtures group in the morning (8:00-Noon); and train the Construction Department / PMs in the afternoon. (1:00-5:00pm).

07) Group 2 is learning Revit in “smaller bites”, so I’ve trained this group using either consecutive or non-consecutive days.

08) I ask the folks from the 1st group to visit and “sit in” on their departmental training. They see the results of their training content recommendations. They can offer company-department insight on trainees questions, review revised procedures and course content that was selected for their staff training.

09) No one takes training unless they have dedicated training exercises and/or practice work during AND after their training. It’s financially wasteful to train, billable professionals without having ongoing Revit-based tasks for them “to use what they’ve learned”.

10) These are just a few steps I take to insure client independence and create a self-sustaining Revit Implementation process. They now have custom training materials with a great start with documented “how to” standards. An Expert Revit Trainer-Consultant always has this as their ultimate deliverable for their Revit trainees.

Please visit my Client Revit Training Success Stories Page, where clients have shared their experiences using my training process.

Revit Visibility Hierarchy Revealed by The Revit Clinic

Revit Visibility Controls

The Revit Clinic provides an ordered list (hierarchy) of 10 Revit visibility controls.

They provide graphical examples of those controls defined as the Revit Visibility Hierarchy.

10 being the lowest and 1 being the highest using walls as an example:

  1. Line Work Tool
  2. Override Graphics in View > By Element > Halftone
  3. Graphic Display Options – Silhouette Edges
  4. Override Graphics in View > By Element
  5. View Filters
  6. View Depth – “Beyond” Line Style
  7. Phasing Graphic Overrides
  8. Visibility / Graphic Overrides > Override Host Layers > Cut Line Styles
  9. Visibility / Graphic Overrides > Projection \ Cut Lines
  10. Project Object Styles

Continue Reading and viewing the graphical examples from the complete article; Revit Visibility Hierarchy.
