Another really great tutorial by Niall. Thank you for all the work and the time you put into making these.

[@8020BIM]

Thanks again for the positive feedback, glad you liked it ☺️ Happy to make them as long as people are finding them helpful, but I admit finding the time to make them can be tricky 😅

[@leben1841]

Honestly your videos are great. Complete and very well explained, they fully cover the subject. Thank you very much for your time and efforts!!!

[@8020BIM]

You must be binge watching these all the way through - Thanks a million for the continued positive feedback. Unfortunately my day job has been intense for about 2 months (snew baby in the mix as well) but hoping normal upload service will begin again soon 😊 any suggestions of something you would like to learn about let me know 👍 Niall

Great tutorial, Sir! Thank you very much! Watching from the Philippines.

@@8020BIM I actually studied Revit in an Autodesk Certified School here in the Philippines back in 2018 but didn't use/practice the software very often. Now, I am studying it again through videos in KZbin. Luckily, I found your videos while looking for some Revit tutorials. Most of your tips wasn't taught to us back then in school. I am looking forward for more Revit tutorials & tips from you. God bless you, Sir & more power to your channel.

[@8020BIM]

@@agnes_ph All the best with your learning - feel free to ask me any questions and I'll help where I can. :)

​@@8020BIM Since you've offered, Sir :) How can I change the line weights on walls, windows, doors, tags, generic models, etc.?And in making title blocks there's only wide, medium & thin lines, is there a way that I can edit the thickness on these lines? Can I change it, like in AutoCAD? I like my line weights in AutoCAD, so if it's possible, I would like to use it in Revit. I hope this is not too much, Sir. But thank you in advance. God bless you.

Great work, very useful

most imp topic. thanks

[@jeanettephan5494]

Loving your videos! One thing I'd have to say is that they're quite long to watch. I think it would be great if you could condense them to 20 mins or make them into parts but you're doing a wonderful job so thank you!

[@8020BIM]

Hi Jess, Thanks for the feedback, glad you are finding the content useful. I fully agree with you on the video duration. The issue is that people come to a video to learn about a topic in its entirety. That being said, there is certainly things I can work harder on to try and condense the information into more digestible sections for sure. It might make recording and creating the videos a little easier too! Thanks again for the constructive feedback, it's really appreciated. Niall
