Do you need to learn how to modify tools for your blueprint and other modeling basics? Learn how to use the modify tools in Revit Architecture 2015 with this online tutorial, and do so with ease and the de-facto standard tool for architecture and design as you lay out the design for a two-bedroom condominium.
…Continuing with the layout of our two bedroom condo unit, there's…lots of approaches we can take to the layout of the walls.…In this movie I'd like to look at commands like Move and Copy and Offset and Trim.…And these are staple commands in any CAD or drafting program.…And Revit is no exception.…So let's take a look at how some of these tools function here in Revit.…So I'm in a file called Modifying Walls.…And we're going to click over here on the Modify tab.…The Modify tab contains all of the tools that…we're going to look at here on this Modify panel.…I'm going to start with the Move command.…
Move command has a shortcut of M+V.…Now I'm going to let the tool tip load here…for a second, by pausing my mouse over it.…And what you'll notice is that a small…animation starts to run after a few seconds.…So, all of the commands on this…tool palette have these little animated tool tips,…and they can be really helpful to give you a sense of how these commands function.…So I encourage you to just take a few moments…

Q: Which versions of Revit should I use with this course?
A: This course is written for users of Revit Architecture 2015 and Revit LT 2015. Because Revit LT does not have all of the same features as Revit Architecture, some movies in this course will not be relevant for Revit LT. Additionally, there are some topics that are relevant in both versions, but the button layout or location of those tools are different. In those cases, the features and procedures for Revit Architecture are shown in the course.
