I attended a two days' training at Innocom and will get my certificates in two weeks' time.
It is very useful and definately a recommended course for anyone who have intensions to learn Revit Architecture.
Anyway, for the issues tackled within the two days for your perusal:-
Day 1
Importing and Exporting Files:-
1.How to import an autocad file?
Insert>Import> check current view
2.How to turn on Snap?
Manage>Setting>Snap
3.How to bring autocad drawings to foreground?
select autocad drwg> Change the icon to Foreground
4.The project browser do not have 3d view, how do we activate it?
View>Default 3d
5.Short cuts for Visibility/Graphics Overrides:-
VG / VP is often used.
VG: hiding elements
6.How to check unit system in a file?
Manage>Project Units>Length>change to intended unit system
Linking Files:-
7.How to create a blank View/drafting view to import details to scale?
View>Drafting View>Set Scale>Import Detail> Explode the drawings to modify\
8.How to export autocad?

9.How to hide all furnitures?
VG>Hide Furnitures>
10.How to hide patterns at floor plans?
VG>Floor>Patterns override>select white color> apply to remove grains/patterns
11.How to avoid exporting floor patterns?
VG>Uncheck visibility in Patterns override
Note: However the layer can be turned off after exporting
12.How to hide all annotation?
VG>Annotation Gategories>uncheck [Show annotation categories in this view]
13.How to link revit?
Insert>Link Revit
Notes:-
If you modify the link file concurrently, the link file need to be unloaded first,
then reload the link file with your updated file.
Normally revit are linked and Cad are imported as to bind the CAD file
14.How to off the annotations in the link file?
VG>revit link>display setting>change [By host view}] to [custom] > go to annotation > set custom >uncheck items
15.How to copy the parts of the model into the file?
Collaborate>Copy/Monitor>Select link file>Options> Walls> select walls to be copied> check multiple copy to copy all.
16.How to reuse existing revit files to create new design?
Collaborate>copy/Monitor>Option>change the wall type to be replaced>select walls to replace > delete link to monitor new design
Note:
Coordination review is to view what is the changes with new copied items
Monitor is to change the copied items through collaboration.
Conceptual Design:-
17.How to create a mass?
massing&Site>in place mass> name mass create mass through drawing
Note:-
Double click lines to enter specific figures.
18.How do you create an In-Place family using mass?
Component>Model-In-Place>define parameters (roof/floors/wall/etc)>sketch the path>sketch the profile>finish sweep/finish model
Note:-
An in place mass is used to create irregular items in Revit. Defination of the item will incorporate properties of the item.
Creating Advanced Components:-
20 How to change Tags?
Select Tag>edit tag family>duplicate and save with different names> add items into tag and change the graphic parameters of the tag
>save and load into project
21. How to add tags with door?
Annotate>Tag>Tag All> select the relevant information containing in a Tag
Note:- to update the tags, select all tags and change the properties through [Element] at top right hand corner
22. How to change door and window family?
Doors and window families comes with instant parameters, walls incorporated in door/window familiy represents all wall type despite its'thickness.
Door jamb, door thickness, sizes and materials are the basic settings to be created.
Modifiy the existing doors into the exact library is the easiest way out.
Visibility settings in Form is important and in plan view, model built is not shown, in model view, lines are hidden.
23. How do you relate a tag with other elements? wall tags/carparking lot tags?
Annotation>Tag by catagory>place the tags accordingly or select all elements to be tagged.
Further changes to be made to the tags through family editing.
All elements can be tagged. All tags can be modified to specific suit.
24. How to add parameters in a revit family?
We dimension the reference line created, add parameters to the dimension. The dimension can be alter under [Family Propeties>Type].
Further on, a formular/equation can be added into the parameters. for example, new dimension = (door height)/4.
25.How to draw group out as a file for later insertion?
select group>save as>library>group (rvg)
26.How to load group?
Insert>Load from Library>Load as group> select .RVG file
27.How to duplicate items to different levels?
Clip board copy can transfer group into different levels and files.
28.How to you update groups?
explode and update one group with different names, select the other groups to be updated through [Element/ Change Element Type].
29.How to create predefine few parameters within one Type of family?
Define family element through reference plane > select new > define new dimensions > save with different naming > select through selection scrolling.
Note: use type for
31. What is nested families?
Families can be nested into another family.
32. How to create a nested family?
Insert another family for example chair into the table family.
Day 2
Design and Analysis:-
Using Design Options:-
1. How to create design Options?
Manage>Design Option>new>name your options> edit selected > start creating your roof profile
To start on next option > goto Manage>Design Option> Scroll to Single Ridge to create another roof profile
2. How to attached walls to different roof options?
After finishing all profiles> select all the walls > Manage > Design options > add to set > attach the walls through design option alteration
3. How to show different views?
Create camera > set the view > duplicate view > rename the views > VG > under design option > select different option and the view will be updated accordingly
Note:-
Design Options is to show case different design within a single file through different group compilation. There will be one primary option to be show case, to alter, the set must be selected.
4. How to remove slope at roof?
select roof line > uncheck Defines Slope
5. How to select all walls?
move cursor near wall> click tab> left click mouse
Interference Checking:-

8.How to create schedules?
View>Create>Schedules>Select the area scheme created>add the items intended to show>create
9.How to create legend?
Select legend > edit color scheme > click to place legend
10.How to design phase?
Select all>right click>Element Properties>Phasing>Phase created> existing> VP > phasing > [phase filter:show complete] / [phase:Existing] > create/duplicate the floor plans to several naming intended(for example exterior demolision/interior demolition/interior renovation/main entry)
VP>phasing>select one of the phases defined through view created to show different states of complete/show previous+demo/show new/show existing
The intension is to show different phases of a project
11.What is the difference of View Filters and phase filters?
View Filter is what you do not want to see while phase filter is what you want to see.
12.How to set the display of different phases?
Manage>Phases>Phase Filters> do the settings accordingly with graphic overrides/phase filters and project phasees.
goto the particular view >VP>set the phasings accordingly to reflect your intentions.
Working with Professionals:-
12.How to build contours?
Massing&Site>Toposurface>Create from Import>Select Import Instance>Select the plan>choose the relevant layers> click on to build the toposurface.
13.How to buildng parking lots?
Massing&Site>Split Surface>Select the surface>wire frame to select the outline from cad (note: surface can only split into two segment per time) > ok to finish
Select the split surface > edit surface > make all contour point same level >
14.How to create building pad?
Massing&Site>Building Pad>set parameters
15.How to use graded region?
Massing&Site>Graded Region>Create a new toposurface based on perimeter points only>select the island>select all the points>elevation set 0> VP > phase filter show New
16.How to link the graded region with the contour?
Just set the contour point to same set value to visually join them
Select the contour>VG>topography>uncheck interior point>ok>select all the surrounding surfacepoint>set elevation to 0 or set value to connect the different contour height.
17.How to check interference?
Link revit file>collaboration>check interference>select items of current file and items of link files > ok to proceed with checkings > rectify the discrepancies and refresh to counter check
Revit Architecture Worksharing:-
12.How to create worksets?
Collaborate > worksets >create different sets of name > save as central file through checking the option icon >
Note: worksets can be created within a laptop with different users login.
Advanced Rendering:-
13.How to insert an image onto a wall?
Insert>Decal>Decal type> select images and place on wall.
14. How to adjust lights in group?
