Revit Lab - Alternate Assignment

Unfortunately we had technical difficulties in the CadLab this morning so some of the students were unable to undertake the Lab using Revit in CAT-167.  We have fixed the problem and will post how to complete the lab using the CadLab machines.

For those students here are your alternatives.  Other students should complete the lab as assigned following the instructions issued in the CadLab.

1. Complete the lab on your own windows machine by downloading Revit 2015 from students.autodesk.com.
2. Use the lab machines later in the week once we have Revit working on them.
1. We'll announce when it is working
2. The videos and instructions for doing it on your own have been found adequate by most students in past.
3. Perform the assignment described below as an alternate. 
1. Be sure to note in your BbLearn submission that Revit wasn't working when you were in the lab so you're performing the Alternate.
