I will be providing a live training session on Revit lighting fixture content later this month. I have presented on this topic in the past, including at Lightfair!
This session is geared a little more towards beginners, but the topics will range from basic to intermediate. However, a good understanding of Revit is expected. My introduction to Revit for lighting designers is a good place to start for those completely new to Revit. The training will require both Revit and ElumTools (both can be the free trial version).
Here are the details and links...
When
November 20th from Noon-4pm
Where
Online via Zoom (two display setup required)
Title
Revit Content Creation for Lighting Designers
Description
To ensure users are taking advantage of all the amazing tools the ElumTools application offers, Dan Stine, hosts a NEW Revit Content Creation training course.
