I don't think I'm exaggerating but I genuinely think you're the best teacher in the world! I learnt so much in such short time!! Could you please make a video on rendering tool.. (Architecture Student)
Thank you so much! In my first year of studying towards a BSc in building surveying. The lecturer who teaches us revit has no clue. This hour video taught/helped me more than he has in 8 weeks! Much appreciated :)
I think you are a good teacher and you sound clear. I have been trying to do other video tutorials and the teachers are awful. Please do more tutorials, I would suggest a more complex building, with its Construction and Structure plans. Thank you!
This is by far the best "beginners" Revit tutorial i've seen! As a former craftsman (bricklayer i think it's called in UK?) and building technician, i've been used to AutoCad, but have been away from the trade for a number of years, and this makes me want to use Revit now! I will be watching the rest of your tutorials, they are loaded with great little tips for a beginner like me! For example move, align, rotate, create, and copy content....something many teachers/consultants skips because they are assuming these things are common knowledge, even when many many years of AutoCad drawing has shown that none of use the software in the same way or manner! Would love to attend a course of yours, but i'm afraid thats rather unconvenient as i'm living in Denmark :-)
Hello Thomas, Thank you so much for your kind words. They make it all worthwhile. Well you're always welcome to come to the UK to sit on one of my courses. I'd be happy to give you a discounted rate, due to your kind words. :) Failing that i'm always happy to travel to different countries if the logistics work out. Let me know if there's anything I can help with. I look forward to hearing from you. Many thanks James james.parsons-moore@microcad.co.uk
James, just a big shout to you - the tutorial is great. I've been working on Vectorworks for quite some time now, had to switch to Revit and was a little bit freaked out. The tutorial is great, really covers everything needed to get your head around how it works! Thank you!
Thank you so much! It's very useful. I've just started using Revit because I used to do everything on Autocad. I watched your tutorial and it convinced me to change to Revit. PD: The way you explain reminds me of Bob Ross :)
That feeling one gets after finishing the video. I feel like a pro already. Best instructional video on Revit 2013 because it shows all essential features of modelling in a Simple, Easy and Fast way. Would you mind sharing your libraries?
Thank You Sir! This is so efficient. I subscribed and plan to watch more, I'll have to do split screen and try to keep up. I wish we had UA-cam when I was in college! Again, Thank you.
Again I just want to thank everyone for your positive feedback and apologies for not always getting back to your questions straight away. There will be more coming up soon. Stay tuned James
Fantastic lecture/Presentation. I just can't think of learning so many things in so little time. Also surprised with the capabilities of REVIT. Thanks once again to the presenter.
Thank you Mr. Parson Moore Excellent demo, thanking you for ur detailing in revit ......... its very easy than autocad.... do u hav any demo version for high rise building, it would provided me gr8 information regarding it .......... Kindly do upload versions of how to detail in revit.......
Hello everyone. I cant thank you all enough for the kind comments that you've given me. A quick question for you all... would a manual and video tutorials writen by myself be something of interest for you? What would be the favoured format? Ipad App? Book? Online learning?
Very helpful video, thank you James. But I got a question about placing a window/door on a wall. I can't get the exact dimension required on two sides of the wall next to the window. If I correct one side, the other side gets streched as the window moves. How to place a window at the exact location on a wall?
Concise and powerful case-study lesson in about 1 hour. I highly recommend it. A question though, how do I get the UK Metric Library content in my program in the US (from your scrolling it looks like it has so much more components)? Thanks Mr Parsons-Moore.
The UK METRIC LIBRARY is a content pack that you load during the install process. You can add this later if you still have your install files? Just re-run the setup file and "add/remove features"
Hi James, fab video btw - you're probably the only person who makes me WANT to do Revit. I have recently somehow deleted the doors file from my library, is there any way of getting the whole 2014 door collection back? Thanks!
Hi Lilly. How did you manage that? haha Yu can reload the content from the install files if you know what you're doing. However if you use dropbox i'd be happy to share mine with you? Thank you very much for your kind words. It's one of the reasons I love doing my job - getting feedback like that. Thanks James
This video is amazing, just saying. Watching this from beginning to end was helpful in knowing how to build and model using Revit. EDIT: You remind me of my High School drafting teacher (besides the voice, as he didn't sound English).
Hi everyone. Thank you very much for all of your great feedback and positive comments. It might be best if you email me direct if there's anything else or want to learn Revit yourselves. Drop me an email jamesapm@gmail.com I'm also on twitter and linked in. @TheREVITlution Thanks guys. PS...I have some spaces coming up on a 3 day course if anyone is interested ;)
Great tutorial thanks. One question though. How was it that you didn't have a crop region to begin with? I had it when I started mine and when I tried to draw the larger building to the side I kept getting a warning bar saying that the walls I had drawn weren't visible in certain views.
Less than twenty years ago I was stencilling text and making amendments with a razor blade. You certainly can do a lot in an hour with this piece of kit. Great video, thanks for posting.
Phenomenal demonstration, not withstanding the strong Irish/british accent. A really quick tour of Revits capabilities and versatility nicely packaged in a 1 hour demo. Should be a guide line for other teachers for a step by step approach in teaching Revit. Thanks to modern technology and the kind and patient efoorts efforts of Mr Moore, knowledge is shared freely for the benefit of thousands across the globe, me included.
Very useful, Thanks a lot for making this video, I learned a lot, specially those little hints, I will definitely subscribe you. Would you make a video about a little Commercial building?...that means a lot...TNX
I drew a box Gutter special size for my project. I have to change the height so, I went to R> open> family> Roof> Gutter. I do not see the family at all. In my project, Project Browser> families>Roof>Gutter>boxgutter 360x400x190 amg is visible. I have followed your video but nothing came up as hidden or otherwise. How can I find this particular gutter family please?
Hi James, just starting out, had one 3 day introduction course. Going to spend 2/3 weeks messing about with it, however, after that I will need some additional training that focuses on exactly the stuff I will be doing, what courses do you run, where and the cost? Really enjoyed the stuff on youtube, very informative.
Excellent tutorial ! Very well done, but you're wrong about detailing. The detailing done in AutoCAD Architecture leaves this in the dust. The detail component manager is derived from ACA's and loses a huge amount of functionality. Also without layers, the lineweight control is poor
Great tutorial thank you very much! By the way I still have some problem in the beginning like "How can I create new views?" I can't see elevations for now and I only have a level 1 plan.. I feel like I'm stuck :( Thanks in advance!
James, Congratulations on the most extensive yet most concise tutorial on UA-cam for Revit. Thanks so much for taking the time to do it. I have an issue with the templates and possibly families not being included in my version, I'm looking into rectifying this presently. If I have any trouble I may ask your advice... but again Thank You. Exceptional presentation. Rob
Watched this at work and then again at home (no sound at home ??) any how, you blew my instructor out the water and now i feel that i have been robed by my local college. This video is a absolutely a must have. Soooo when do we get part 2 of this project. its been a few years! could use the HVAC and ELEC plan.
Bloody hell! as you Brits say... this is what i'm talking about, a great very specific to the point learning video. i was wondering about revit for residential work. you made me feel more confident in pursuing the industry standard here in the US. only thing is, is the design/concept process possible with revit? also any particular site/vendor for good templates? do you use any templates? again great video.
You’re amazing! I can’t believe how much I learned from tNice tutorials video. My softs just got 10 tis better after watcNice tutorialng tNice tutorials!
Brilliant Revit Tutorial, it is the best spent hour to learn the basics of Revit, highly recommended. Excellent instructor......when can we expect to see more videos?
Excellent demo James, I am new to Revit and attempting this drawing now myself however my wall types are different to yours - I am using a trial version in Australia. Is there a way to load typical Australian wall details onto my drawing? The house will be timber frame and cladding.
Just completed the first 15 mins of your video and feel like I am actually getting somewhere!! I like the informal feel and your easy-going approach - it makes learning more enjoyable.
Im grateful This Bloke has done a tutorial on how this software works, But it just highlights that unless you know what all the 4 million functions do, then your going to get started and get stuck. The average person trying to use Revit would take them 3 years to learn how to use all the 4 million functions on this software to actually produce something that could actually be built. Im a house Builder, I need a software that dost have 4 million secret tricks to it that needs 3 years to learn before you can design a box house in an hour, as a builder i want a software i can 100% learn in an hour and then use to design a house in an hour. Chippy
Is there a possibillity that other people can download your families, because with some installation problems i didn't get those. I've tried it several times already but Revit 2014 doesn't install the families
At 28.32 mins when you look at the sectional elevation the walls have a footing. But I didn't watch you putting a footing at foundation level. Do I have to put in footing along the external walls before drawing walls
Hi James Thanks for the excellent training. I am trying to draw Toposurface but I cannot see the points and cannot draw sth around the building model while the place point option is active. I would be thankful if u can help me
Thanks for an awesome video. How can i change the title block, say adding a company logo, changing the orientation of the title block from portrait to landscape type? one more thing on placing the truss, how could i incorporate the heel height? Can i import revit drawings to autocad or vise versa? thanks
Thank you so much. My company just got Revit and you really showed me how useful this tool can be.
I can't believe it's 8years old and still the best one I found. Many thanks for the details so precisely .
Dear Mr. Parsons-Moore you are a magnificent professor. This video should be mandatory in every architectural school. Thank you very much.
Carlos Tulio Sierra Paravisini Yes Sir acknoweldged
This is the most concise and straight to the point video I've watched on Revit. Thanks.

Absolute class. You are brilliant. Cheers from the US.
I wish you were my Revit teacher at my college.....I love your videos and your upbeat voice :-). Thank you!!!!
Thank you very much. What college do you attend?
I think you are a good teacher and you sound clear. I have been trying to do other video tutorials and the teachers are awful.
Please do more tutorials, I would suggest a more complex building, with its Construction and Structure plans.

great tutorial
you are awesome thanks for sharing!
Is there a place where I can find your templates/families? The revit I installed doesn't have any of the components that you use?
Hello everyone. I cant thank you all enough for the kind comments that you've given me.
A quick question for you all... would a manual and video tutorials writen by myself be something of interest for you? What would be the favoured format? Ipad App? Book? Online learning?
James Parsons-Moore I think that would be great.
James Parsons-Moore - This would be amazing! My vote would go to iPad App or Online learning.
+James Parsons-Moore online learning with pdfs would work best for me.
Videos are the best thing! your voice is perfect your words are clear and your speed is accurate. never gets boring..
Thank you very much. I hope it has been helpful so far?
Very helpful video, thank you James. But I got a question about placing a window/door on a wall. I can't get the exact dimension required on two sides of the wall next to the window. If I correct one side, the other side gets streched as the window moves. How to place a window at the exact location on a wall?

A very helpful tutorial indeed. You must be an angel ^________^
thank you so much Mr. James!
YOU're the VERY BEST. Please, make more classes like this one. BEST class I've already watched in the whole youtube.
i fully agree Iztoniolo
I wanted to load a Family in my Revit 2017 and couldn´t. Why is that? Are there no Family´s in the program when I install it? Thanks a lot.

Wow, my mind is blown. Do you have a training course I can go on?
Good proposal Edward...amazing video Revit BIM
I liked the way you teaching so much. It is obvious from your talk that you like your jobs very much. Thanks a lot for this beneficial video...

Was my accent ok for you to understand?
Yes ! Though a little slower, clearer and a wee bit louder..for the non UK folks..helps...
I just replayed the sections and that solved the problem..
Wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
Need a tutorial on light gauge steel
Albeit a bit of quick talking, absolutely well done on the Narration and Explanation. Thanks a lot.
Hi James. Great tutorial thanks. I look forward to finding your other tutorials on UTube.
Many many thanks for sharing your knowledge James. Much appreciated.
Mr. James, Congratulations on the most extensive yet most concise tutorial on UA-cam for Revit. Thanks so much for taking the time to do it.

That was mind blowing James. I should invest in this program now.
Do you have a complete tutorial on residential electrical plans ?
Thanks

One word : EXCELLENT !....My only concern is, how does Revit do when handling complex custom residential buildings?
You’re amazing! I can’t believe how much I learned from tNice tutorials video. My softs just got 10 tis better after watcNice tutorialng tNice tutorials!
Excellent.... more vids please! (best workflow for existing buildings (differing wall thicknesses, peirs & noogie bits ) from dwg or skp)

When installing Revit you can select the relevant content to your region. Each country has their own wall styles :)

Thanks so much for your best sharing tutorial for putted in all of your experiences in short time. Excellent worked.. Thank you!
Thanks so much for your best sharing tutorial for putted in all of your experiences in short time. Excellent worked.
wow nice
Is revit a good software for drawing old buildings where there are no straight walls and right angles?
Great Teacher! love your work. Keep going!!
I can't find the roofing tile that you describe at @33:50 . Can you help me please?
Thanks so much James for the video. helped me loads.
Thanks From SaN Diego! What about finished renderings? i seen some with a picture taken from site and revised/edited in Revit.
Hi.I need your help because i went to the 3d view and the bricks were on the inside not the outside please help me.
Perfect demo and greetings from Belgium and also same question where can we download some extra families for free :-)
Thanks for that demo, very good job!
