I've just started my journey into Revit.
Been an AutoCAD man on/off for a good few years.
But would not call myself an Acad expert one bit.....
I'm very lucky in that I'm in a position I can take a year sabbatical and learn Revit.
I've subscribed to three online course providers and I'm all set to go.
I'd like to ask you, my peers, is 12 months enough? If I bash away everyday and practice will I get to a reasonable standard?
I've been doing it for a week so far and have learnt a lot but I appreciate the learning curves alter as the complexity increases.
I would be very grateful of your advice and opinions on this, I like the online courses but maybe a decent book as a back up????
All the best

Hey Sean! Not sure how you never got an answer, but I'll chime in probably a little late. You can learn a lot in a year with Revit if you are really dedicated to your study. Play around in it, build models, consider phasing, design options, different views and family/component creation. To be honest, I would worry a bit less about rendering for now--Revit can do a lot in that area, but it is far from advanced and even a bit clunky. You'll probably be exporting to other programs for that in the future. Best of luck--you'll have plenty of time to be very proficient by the end of your year!
