Revit Families Guide

[violet78]

I downloaded the Families Guide for Revit 2010 from this location:

http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/index?id=13080413&siteID=123112&linkID=9243097

The .chm file from that download will not work.  I tried opening it through Revit and on its own and it gives a "website not found" error.

I was able to locate another version downloaded over a year ago and saved on our server.  That one works fine.  So my problem is fixed, but there may be something wrong with the version currently available.

Also, the 2010 Families Guide does not include instructions for installing on Windows 7 (obviously written before Win7 was released).  The 2011 guide was not re-written, but 2011 is supported on Win7.  I had to use my best guess for the file locations.  Other users may be confused.

I wish the tutorials and families guide could be part of the basic Revit installation.

Can anybody post the PDF file for Revit STRUCTURE Families Guide? or provide a link to it that really works? The help documents say that there should be an option for Families Guide under the Help menu of Revit, but I don't see that option. I have the other two documents, the architectural and MEP, but I would like to have the STRUCTURE version in PDF format, too. Anybody?
