L5 Revit – Questions on Files

We’ve had several questions on the “output” for Lab-5.  Hopefully the following will make clear what we expect and how to achieve it.

Three Output files

We expect three files to be submitted.

• Revit File – the file that Revit creates that has your entire model.  The suffix is “.rvt”.  It’s a big file of probably 2-3MB size
• PDF of “sheet” – This is a PDF file that you create by “printing” your sheet (with plan, section, elevation etc all displayed on it) to a PDF file.
• Printing to a PDF requires that you have the full version of Adobe Acrobat installed on the computer your using (I’m pretty certain). 
• Acrobat is on all the machines in the CadLab
• You can download it from the Drexel Software site for your own machine (I’m pretty certain about this too, but cannot check the student version of the download site)
• Word Document - addressing the questions about the lab.

Correcting Lab Submissions before the Due Date

The assignments in VistaBB are set up so that you may change what you’ve submitted up to the due date.  How to do so isn’t inherently obvious.  The following steps are suggested by Pete Falk of this class – our thanks to him!

1. 1n bbvista click on "assignments" in the sidebar
2. click on the tab "submitted"
3. click on the downward facing arrows next to the lab
4. a drop down menu will appear, select "edit" - this step will return you to the submission page
