Learn to use annotation dimensions filled regions. Control how the different views are to display by understanding the visibility graphics of a drawing, Control the use of views and sheets Control the Revit display and plotting environments, Share data working with other applications Word and Excel Extract a coordinate list from a survey. Import the dwg coordinate list into Revit, generate a model and export the information in AutoCAD maintaining a real- world scale. Scan an ordnance survey map or dwg file and scale reference it to real life size using the OS scale bar as reference. Produce good quality working drawings of residential projects fully annotated and dimensioned, using A4, A3, A2 and A1 sheet with multiple views on sheets. Create good quality working drawings of a site plan and longitudinal section of a residential project showing services, drainage, access, and landscaping fully annotated and dimensioned.
