The Bottom Line

The Revit user interface is fairly straightforward. Once you know how to access settings, add ele- ments to a view, and navigate views, you’ll be off and running. Get use to the idea of editing prop- erties of elements to change their appearance and behavior. This applies to model elements, annotations, and views.
Work with and understand Revit parametric elements Although you can find references to objects, families, instances, and components, in the end everything is an element. Master It What are Revit elements, and how are they managed graphically?
Use the Revit user interface As in any software application, you need to know where all the major components are and what tasks they support. Master It How do you change the graphics of a category for all views? What if you need to change the graphics for only one view?

Use the Project Browser This UI component provides access to all elements in your model. Get used to using it to locate views, families, groups, and links. Master it Knowing how to navigate views in Revit is essential to completing work. What are some of the ways to open views in Revit?
Navigate views and view properties Views are also elements. Just like the walls, floors, and roofs you add to the model, you’ll also add views. They have properties you should become familiar with. Master it You need to change the scale of a plan view from 1 ⁄8˝ to 1 ⁄4˝. How do you do this with Revit?
