Using the exercise files

“

- [Instructor] If you have access to the exercise files used throughout this course, then I recommend unzipping them and placing them in a folder on your desktop. Now, within that folder, you will find several sub-folders, one for each chapter of the course, and then a finished files folder and a seed families folder at the bottom. The finished files folder will have finished versions of most of the exercises throughout the various chapters and I've numbered them, based on which chapter they came from. The seed families folder I'll explain how to use in a later video, but those are simply starting files that we use to create other files that we'll use throughout the various chapters. Otherwise, within each chapter, you're usually going to be focused on the files within that chapter's folder. Most of time there will be Revit files like Revit family files, but occasionally I have some Revit project files, and there's also a PDF or two, within the exercise files, that you can use for reference. So be on the lookout for those. All of the Revit files I've formatted in decimal units. So what I've tried to do is make the units a non-issue. So technically these are imperial units files, because that's what I created them from. But by turning off feet and inches and making them decimal feet only, I've tried to remove any mention of any specific unit. This should make it easy for you to use the files, whether or not you're normally working in imperial units or in metric units. So I've tried to kind of make that a non-issue throughout this course, because the specific sizes of things are really not a feature of what we'll be talking about. Now, if you don't have access to the exercise files, you're welcome to still follow along with your own files, on your own system. And I think, following along hands-on, is definitely the way to go and recommended. So with that, let's get started.
