    What level am I at for Revit?

    This may seem a strange request or something that cannot easily be assessed.

    The reason I ask, is that I work using Revit and have done for a few years...but on my own.

    We are a small company with 2 employees and do work ranging from a small extension to a development of 15 houses or over.

    Anyway, as I dont have anybody else to compare what my level of knowledge or expertise in the office, I am struggling to judge my qualities with the program.
    I'm not looking to "big" myself up etc, im just curious that if you were employing a Revit technician to undertake design/detailing work what you would expect

    Thanks for any replies or information.

    Just locate yourself in one of these 6 phases:

    "Holy ****! Look what I can do with this thing!"

    Phase Two - First bump

    "Hmmmm...? Why won't it do what I want? That's not how I do it in (insert other cad software here)!"

    Phase Three - Creamy Middle

    mmm... things are going more smoothly, now......mmmmm"

    Phase Four - WTF stage :banghead:

    The family editor "eats you up and spits you out"!

    Phase Five - The Enlightenment

    Things really begin to click! You understand why things are happening in your model, and better yet how to control them and avoid problems. You have conquered the family editor.

    Phase Six - Zen of Revit :wine:

    You have mastered nearly all things revit. You "know" what Revit "likes", and what it "dislikes" during model construction, a sixth sense, really. You spend your time exploring and tweaking advanced scheduling, OBDC, external parameters, AR3. You have a template to beat all templates, families for every situation.

        Well, the scale of your projects doesn't mean anything. I learned and still apply Revit for mostly small domestic projects. I find myself fairly qualified when it comes to Revit. The secret I think is taking time to screw around. That's where you learn the most...

          If want to see what level you are at, go do the associate exam from Autodesk. Call your reseller and book yourself on it. It will allow you to see where you stand.

            Only problem is that the Autodesk Certifications is a joke - Or at least most people in this thread found is less useful

              Save the 200 bucks. According to Autodesk we're all geniusses... (which makes sense since we all spent a few thousand bucks on their software. I'd call anyone who tossed a few G's my way a genius too!)
