A Little Help on Thanksgiving

I received a message at AUGI last night from a member trying to find the help documentation for 2010 (in .chm format). I thought I'd post a more general response here too.

When you install Revit the Help documentation is supposed to be installed in this location:

C:\Program Files\Autodesk Revit Architecture 2010\Program
C:\Program Files (x86)\Autodesk Revit Architecture 2010\Program (32 bit Revit on 64 bit OS, prior to 2010 version)

I don't think they've posted either of these RAC files at the Revit sites at Autodesk.
HelpArchitectureENU.chm
WheresMyCommandArchitecture.chm

Other Help Files (PDF) at Autodesk

Revit Architecture 2010 (English version is a 32 mb pdf)
Revit Structure 2010 (English version is a 28 mb pdf)
Revit MEP 2010 (English version is a 32 mb pdf)

I hope this holiday finds you with much to be thankful for! If this holiday isn't "yours"...there are always good reasons to be thankful, may you have plenty of them! I can think of one starting with R... *-)

Must Read List: 2009 Help File

If you are like me you've been slowly digging into the new Help documentation for Revit 2009 "ASMEP"? Then you have already noticed that a lot of effort has been applied to it. In some areas a complete rewrite (family editor for example) and in others some serious sanding and polish. If you aren't like me, don't worry about that...just make sure you do check it out!

Overall I find it much better. I'm not sure it is really possible to make it perfect or perhaps even great (for everyone). If it were then we wouldn't need books? Naturally incorporating more short tutorial videos is a recurring wishlist item. With the consistent use of them on Kyle's blog I imagine we'll see the addition of such effort in the future.

To the unsung documentation people...you are now sung! You've got my thanks! Keep up the good work!
