    How on earth did you stick that for 10 months!! 10 months on the computer every day in your house. I’m about to graduate, and I don’t want to apply to a job stuck on Revit every day from your home. Sounds like perfect hell. Human-beings weren’t designed to live that lifestyle. Do you have any tips, because I’m thinking of applying for a construction project manager role, just to avoid being a Revit technician!!

    Would be interested in seeing some of the work that you've completed on Revit as well as some of the technical detail drawings that you've worked on, curious to see how far you've come. Also, as a side question - did you do your technical detailing solely on Revit or did you shift everything back over to AutoCAD?

    • @ThomasRowntree
      @ThomasRowntree  3 роки тому

      I couldn’t show any of the drawings because it is confidential information with work but I will show you work i do during university! And we worked 100% in revit, we produce all details in revit

    If you get the chance, please go over some of the things that you did in Revit/technical detailing, as another person suggested. I think it's important because the things that you did are a reality-check for most students coming out of Uni, a different type of approach to work/development of skills that we need to be aware of for what's to come.
    I'm going to be beginning 3rd year in a couple of weeks, and although I would say that I am competent with Revit, I'm still anxious about my skills because I don't know just how drastically the work differs in practice. If you could go over the kinds of things that you did professionally, it would give an indication of what to look out for, and additionally, what current practices I should continue with/abandon (notoriously students tend to develop solutions that work for a given project, but in the industry it would be chastised due to inefficiency - there are norms that are understood and upheld).

    hi, i am currently trying to complete a portfolio for applying to university and i started by creating a physical portfolio and i planned on using lots of my own designs and analysing other peoples designs and sketching them. but when i looked at others portfolios for inspiration, they had maybe four designs at most included, and they were all digital. they also only used computer software which is something i don't know how to use. could you give me some pointers so i know what to do with my portfolio or maybe make a video on your university application portfolio. thanks

    When it came to using Revit for your group, did you get a 2 week (or more) period where they introduce basics/their practice for Revit before you started working with it for their projects? And also, how lenient were they when you started working? Was someone supervising your model in order to make sure you were working/learning correctly?
    I'm competent with the software, but I'm wondering if I'll be given additional help at the beginning of my placement to overview basics as a refresher and to learn how to work properly in accordance with the practices of my specific group.

    • @ThomasRowntree
      @ThomasRowntree  3 роки тому +2

      yes we spent a week on inductions and learning the basics, I had already used revit previously so i kinda knew how to use the software. they will always support you to begin with so you are using the software and systems correctly as different practices use softwares differently

    • @NameTheTraitor
      @NameTheTraitor 3 роки тому

      There are many different things that you can look into, like familiarising yourself with some famous buildings/architects, their practices and generally what kinds of positions are held in the field (this will broaden your knowledge and give you an understanding of a range of different architectural styles).
      After that, for practical purposes, I would suggest improving your sketching abilities (i.e. draw from pictures and/or go outside and draw the buildings that you see, improve your drafting skills).
      Lastly, I would suggest that you download Sktechup and practice 3D modelling. It's free, easy to use and it'll allow you to quickly mass up different design ideas. All of this would be good practice for someone like you at your age, and you'll be in a good position once you begin your first year in architecture.

    • @castellanos6436

      Part 2: 1 or 2 years of masters.
      Work experience: Ideally more than 1 year
      Part 3: 1 to 2 years to get your license.
      *So you would be looking from 4 to 6 years after part 1*

    • @ThomasRowntree
      @ThomasRowntree  3 роки тому

      exactly the comment below, masters is 2 years, 1 year working as a part 2 and then 1 year part 3 which makes the entire journey 8 years
