This site was created by Ken Colgan of CADtech Seminars, as a home to host intermediate to advanced Revit and AutoCAD training videos.
Many of the videos hosted here are based on Revit and AutoCAD questions asked by clients. Since my typing is way too slow and some explanations would take four single spaced pages, we decided to go the video route. :)
CADtech's goal is to train design professionals to utilize Revit and AutoCAD more efficiently through RU-vid.com, DVD & video training.
We are not dealers or salesman for any company, so you will receive non-biased information and training.

Thank you. Great video. There are so many options thx. Can't you also touch the linked file then TAB until it highlights what you want to turn off, override category, halftone, etc...? My Str Eng footing came in shaded black in the section and Footing in Phase 2 doesn't appear for some weird reason. I always love the challenge of Revit which allows everyone great ways to configure the model and drawings.
Hello, excellent video...I have a question, with the same criteria could you make a fish mouth in the pipe? It is similar to the exercise only that the fish mouth is a hole in the tube and another tube is welded there.
I had to search the intersecting Chord Theorem to find what I was looking for. Just a tip for anybody else. It is used to solve radius and states: R = (1/2W*1/2W/Height of Arch + Height of Arch)/2
"when you do this to the model it's gonna be like whhaaaaat"! Great video! Thanks for the elaborate explanation! Stuff (ofcourse) still applies in revit2024
hoops and fucking loops./ imagine having a box where you could adjust the overall scale so you wouldnt have to sit here and watch some dude going off about it for 7 FUCKING MINUTES
Thank you for saving my butt. I deleted a bunch of columns and a bridge crane last night, but I made like a hundred back up files. I brought all the columns and the crane in their own workplane, but I gave it a higher elevation in the model. Then I selected all the objects and changed their workplane. Last I deleted the workplane I pasted because it no longer had components associated with it.
Great video but how can I show "beyond" elements lines as halftone? My problem is I have a mezanine floor with a double heightI wanna show show the ffloor and its furniture below the mezanine as halftoned so they appear to be in alower level.. I tried underlay but he problem is they show the whole lower floor underlayed not just the area where there is a mezanine?
Another option is to use underlay to show the information below. Then using the 'Line Work' tool, pick the lines you want to stay. Change them slightly using the Line Work tool and then turn off the underlay. The lines that were edited with the linework tool will remain.
Hello, I'm just starting to learn how to write. I encountered this problem I tried to fix it but couldn't. Until I found your video. Now I can, thank you very much.
it worked for me! thank you! I just have one question, how come the project base point and survey point of both files are different even though they are aligned?
That would be really helpful. Unfortunately it means the MEP engineer having to edit the Architect's model, which is far from ideal. Hopefully Autodesk will rethink this at some point.
Why does something so simple have ro be an ordeal with Revit? What we all are really looking for is Autocad's 'WBlock' equivalent & easy to understand Insertion Point. But Revit has to go out of it's way to wasye our time.
If you are looking for another option, you can use the Group command to create a "Wblock" (Write Block in AutoCAD). In the source file, create a group of the items you want to move. Once the group is created, highlight the group. You should see an option in the Ribbon Called 'LINK". Choose this command and Revit will prompt you to create a standalone RVT file of the objects in the group. Next open the project you want to add it to. Then use the INSERT TAB>'Add Revit Link' command to add the newly created file into the current project. If needed, use the BIND option to convert it back to a group in the current project. Even Ungroup it! Hope this helps.
