Hi. I am creating an online tutorial for working with CAD files. I have a CAD plan exported from the Revit sample file (technical school) and would like to know if it's ok to use. Again, this is just a CAD plan export, not the Revit file itself. And its for a commercial company but the training itself is free and so no direct profit link from training. Thanks.
You can use the Revit sample files as you see fit. It is covered under the Creative commons license. For additional information on uses allowed/not allowed see:

Thanks for asking.
Thanks for the quick response @loboarch . After my initial CC excitement, I read the attribution terms closer:
And realized that while my training content is not directly for profit, it is done through a commercial company and hosted as part of their website. It seems that this nuance would disqualify my from using Autodesk assets. Would you agree?

You may be correct. I am NOT part of the legal team so I am not really sure? Since you are not selling the material, perhaps that makes it a non commercial use? IDK? You can always check directly with our legal team.
