Have you looked at http://www.revitcity.com/index.php - there's a lot of stuff under Downloads. Also, if you know exactly what you're looking for, sometimes your sales reps for that product can hook you up - though not enough seem to have caught on to this yet.

Rn Wong

Yup, Ive browsed the site before, but I can't find some good models. and I experience difficulty downloading it. I'm looking for families that have editable parameters. Any type of family. I'm still working up and expanding on my library Are you also a Revit user?.
It's good that i've found a fellow revit user in this site, thought there was none.

I'm an aspiring Revit user - my firm is in the process of figuring out how to be in the process of switching, but since Autodesk sold us Revit and Autocad as a bundle, we own Autocad and it's tough to get people to stop using it.

Rn Wong

revit provides a faster design time. though some still prefer autocad because they are used to that software. even in our office, we still use autocad for plans..
hope more designers will also use revit..

It's the same old story here too. You can't seem to convince the top boys that it will benefit us even though they can see the advantages & the way the market is heading (or has gone!).

Nice to see fellow filipino here in the forum.. what family in particular you want to have in your library? You can start using the built-in library that is included in your revit installation. You can modify anything to your liking.

If you have some questions about the program just pm me i've been using Revit for more than 4 years now.

It's good also to hear from fellow "kababayan's" and it's good that i've found some revit user's.. my problem with revit rendering is that colors appear a little washed out and the landscaping elements don't reveal their true colors. Here's a sample of my revit rendering which I'm still working on. do you also use revit for rendering?...

i just thought i would add a bit if dissent
as a BIM holdout who has tried them all in production and comes away with a very bad flavor in mouth
.
BYOI if what i propose
Build(bring) your own inteligence

i have not seen any creative soultions implemented in revit only stuff standardized and limmited by the set of tools it has.

bahumbug get free, design, empower yourself don't choose a tool that would have it the inverse

Hey Arnold,
I was wondering if you could help me out with a question I have, I have a friend, he's an architect/designer, he does freelance work for a couple cruiseship companies, they are constantly changing the designs,(like every couple days), so he's constantly updating all the drawings, I have urged him in the past to start using Revit, he uses Autocad, I figued since you have used it for a while now, you would know.
So here's my question, would it be a big time saver for him to use Revit, having only to make the change once and have it reflected in all the drawings, instead of autocad changing every drawing for each change, or am I over simplifying this ?

I just think he wastes alot of time doing it his way, but I want to be alittle more certain before I start bugging him again,

Thanx, Bill
