pattygaleTue Nov 1, 2011 4:56 amFor more information on how to use Revit to create conceptual designs and massing studies, you might try these resources: builds.blogspot -- search for "conceptual" Conceptual Design Tutorials -- These are from a prior Revit release but are still useful.
You can also refer to the Vasari videos and tutorials. Vasari is a technology preview of a new product, essentially created by pulling the conceptual design features out of Revit. So most of the tools and procedures work exactly the same in Revit as in Vasari. Vasari Tutorials Vasari Videos
