Tip #1 If you would like to add a joint into duct or pipe, hold down your ctrl key and click. This makes a nice line of demarcation for transitions between existing to new.

Revit's Annotations, Tags, Titleblocks, Schedules, Dimensions, and Text Tool are all setup to Arial by default and there is no one place in Revit to change Font styles and sizes so, like linestyles , you have to kind of search around to find all of them.

It is exceedingly strong for its weight and can be used both structurally and as a finish material.
