Uncovering the Revit Subscription Advantage Pack

Harlan Brumm (from over at the Revit Clinic) has posted a couple of videos on the Autodesk YouTube channel "uncovering" the many features in the recently released Subscription Advantage Pack. We are curious to hear feedback about your experience with the new features.

The Revit Update

The Revit Extensions

Video Tour

For those of you not on the Beta, and have not yet gotten a chance to use the new release of Revit, here is an official video preview. I know I promised to stay away from marketing material, but this video does a great job of highlighting all of the new user interface functionality.

The Ribbon Process in Four Minutes

Designing and implementing this overhaul of the user interface required a considerable amount of research, data analysis, interaction design, and visual design. I put together a four minute video that was presented to the senior Autodesk executive staff last month. It briefly describes some of the design methods that we used while integrating the ribbon into the three Revit products. This video highlights a few themes that will persist through our blogging on the topic:

• Using data to make design decisions
• Developing prototypes and iteratively testing them with customers
• Leveraging design patterns to create flexible and extensible designs
