Introduction to Revit 2022

Freshman Architectural Students have learned four weeks of SketchUp, so this introduction to Revit compares those lessons with drafting in Autodesk Revit. This lesson is repetitive throughout so that students can remember keyboard shortcut commands.

Halfway through the video I describe the architect Maya Lin so that students can draft the Vietnam Veterans Memorial wall and develop a response to it using their new Revit skills.
