Thank you so much!! It’s like every time I need to know how to do something new you make a video about it later that day

[@jeanp.5929]

Thanks for the tutorial bro. I needed this. I'm gonna have to use Revit at my job at some point and I should get a head start if I can.

[@berrydallas6230]

Great job! Your tutorial is better than all the others on the internet; including Autodesk. You jumped right into it without a lot of random discussion and fanfare. New subscriber!

[@MarcelLinus]

Really, Thankyou so much!! just watching your video i really can understand things in revit. Thanks Man!

[@armandonunezdeanda8905]

Great information, thak you I've been working in modeling, but this video show me more of the posibilities on Revit. Please keep showing more of all your approaches.

[@nicolash.udaetaalaiza8376]

Excelent man, it doesn’t matter if the wattage is incorrect, this is a tutorial to learn how to do it in Revit, so it’s great, thanks Balkan, see you tomorrow.

[@echawia]

exactly

[@urbanturbine]

It was important for him to show that you can't connect a 277V device to 120V panel. They are different voltage (not wattage).

[@xiaoqiyang1878]

So helpful ! It covered mostly lighting design layout knowledge. Thank you !

[@luizmagalhaesbr]

Very nice class, super clear and objective, direct to the point without missing important details. Thank you !

[@rksudera]

Very Well Explained... Great Work!

[@olimpiuandrone7173]

I am just learning the electrical part too and found some video that mentions that the two ways revit draws the wires are actually 2 different conventions, the arc is for concealed wires and the chamfered for exposed wires. Keep up the good work!

[@edentesfaye1171]

This is an amazing video , very clear and detailed . Thanks you've been a help in my Architecture school projects .

[@TiyesArtboard]

Thank you for sharing ! Great tutorial !

[@danialzaidi1314]

Great video as always! You've been helping me a lot with my first job, hopefully you'll make a tutorial for conduits and plumbing in 3D soon!

[@omermehamet3847]

amazing as usual

[@efraingalicia6900]

This tutorial for beginners is very good, you showed in a general way the main elements, it will be necessary to deepen more according to the laws of each country.
In my country it is customary to place the number of cables with gauge and diameter of the pipe that leads in each electrical circuit, how are they placed in the electrical plane?

Thanks balkan. Amazing

[@lescherry458]

Thanks for the crash course! Nicely done. I would have liked to see some editing options, like how do I remove outlets from a circuit without deleting the outlet. Or move an outlet to another circuit. Still nice job.

[@manojkumarc3157]

Thank you for all of your videos. I have nearly watch all of ur videos. Can I get a sample revit file of a simple house(1HBK) with complete MEP design which you have done.

[@manojkumarc3157]

my mail ID [e-mail].
Kindly please mail if possible.

[@TheFreeeemind]

Hi, BA. Hope you're doing well and that I'm not too late: I have a problem: The lights rendering on my Revit (2018) are working with me at all. The types 'spot', 'square' and 'circle' lights are too dim upon rendering, and the 'line' lights are too bright. I don't understand why at all. They're all the same intensity and luminosity and color and all, and tampering with the rendering lighting/shadowing dials somewhat improves some light types only to screw over others.
After days of trying to fix the problem in vain, the internet didn't give me any answers other than using the 'Photometric Web' type of lights, of which I have no families. I looked for them but couldn't find any like they show on some UA-cam videos.
Every time I get a bearing it betrays me. Have you any good advice here?

[@clarencehung]

hi, i would like to thnak you for making this video, i tried this in my own project and works fine, after some time i want to adjust the elevation of the lights but i cant. then i tried deleting it and remake them and it worked. after that i moved on to the second floor and tried to remake the ligthign on 2/F but i can not set the elevation. is it some setting problems?? thank you

[@spbhushan3356]

thank you can u plz make video on new family creation

[@laviliburd]

Can this be done within an existing Architectural Revit file? All the lights and outlets are already placed, and I can create a panel schedule, but I cannot add any lights or outlets to the schedule or create circuits.

[@sagittariusmax5419]

can you use/ insert a dwg architectural floor plan background in revit and use that to layout your lighting and power, and circuit it as well? reason i ask bcos most clients still use autocad. PLEASE HELP!!!

[@56curious]

I tried placing a panel but it says None of the created elements are visable in floor plan 0 - I was placing in the correct floor plan and can see it in 3D view however. Any ideas?

[@engrmushfiqur]

There are tons of learning sites out there to learn Revit. But there is not a single large scale real-world project MEP which has been shown from scratch to commission. This is like just typical bookish Indian school.

[@KevlarSammy]

Tons of learning sites? Can you share please?

When I first started I could import samples but now everti I do so it just gives the soft 1. I want to cut, stretch and edit the
