Been watching so many revit tutorial videos for quite some time from different channels and finally, I found top quality revit contents with comprehensive but very understandable explanation. Kudos to you Mike!
I'm From Iraq. I really enjoy your videos. They are helpful, joyful, and full of philosophy on problem-solving and getting the job done. I really appreciate your help.
u r soooo unique n only ur classes i enjoy listening to... cause u r the only who teaches wit passion n sooo much detailed... may god always bless u n ur family
Hi Mike! My work is 80% low voltage so I could go on and on but for us our biggest efficiency comes from creating dynamic families since Revit is a bit lackluster on low voltage. Essentially we have two "goals" with our families. One is to allow us to create schedules. For example, with a comm outlet family we have parameters to adjust the # of drops and type of drop for each(Data, Voice), the home run, patch panel, room #, etc. This setup allows Revit to automatically create the cable labeling schedule for use in our drawings and for when it comes time to print out the labeling. We can easily determine how many patch panels we need. For PA it could be how many speakers can fit on an amplifier based on wattage. For security its how many panels we need based on the door count, etc. We just want our families to be packed with data for ease of design, especially for the backbone portion. The second goal is to have a family include all its necessary components. So with the comm outlet we have nested families for the type of faceplate, connectors, box and rings, etc. Parameters then drive those nested families. For example the # of drops parameters will change the faceplate and connectors. So instead of placing 6 individual families for this one outlet, we are placing one and adjusting a few parameters. This also helps keep the model organized since we often have electrical and multiple LV systems in one model and would otherwise be filtering out electrical components for each system's view settings . But the main goal is having accurate counts come time to install. Our field is getting boxes that contains all the necessary components per room, eliminating the guesswork and reducing the amount of times they have to return to the container for material.
I have found some anomalies too. But when I dig further into it.. I find some override or other setting that is blocking the normal appearance of things.

Thanks for your tutorial, I learned more about Revit.
You are the best in teaching Revit. You describe very well with very clear explanation. I have learnt a lot from you and improving my Revit skills.
Excellent!! After all the confusing videos I watched previously on this topic, you nailed it

Thanks alot Mike...Keep sharing such tips and tricks
Your lessons are amazing.Thanks
Tank you,You're teaching very cool
Thanks youtube i found ur channel. Very helpful tutorial. Please post more videos
love ur energy & teaching style..plz come to india here is butter chicken for u🤤
I bet your India chicken is wonderful!!! I will have to visit some day! :D
Greetings from EGYPT
Egypt! That's awesome. I hope you are doing well Omar!
hi from india.No one is old even at 60 if they have ur enthusiasm
lol... I think if they are enjoying life... they will live to a ripe old age. =) I hope you are doing well there in India!
Muchas gracias. This is is Gold.
You're teaching very nice
Love from India ❤
So helpful, thank you
Thanks Mike for this useful video..but i have a problem .the phasing did not override the visibility "VV"
I have found some anomalies too. But when I dig further into it.. I find some override or other setting that is blocking the normal appearance of things.
Best video sir from Pakistan 🇵🇰
Thank you so much. You are awesome.
excellant sir
Revit talent and singing talent 😁
How do you control the appearance of lines in printing. Can I send you a screen shot?
The trick to printing is using the right PDF writer. I use CutePDF. Free download off the internet.
