I am a fairly new revit user only been on the program for about two months, we are using it at my highschool. We just started desgining our own house and there was three areas I had problems with. I was wondering how to set the house on a peice of land. Another I have question is what would be the easiest way to desgin a custom pool/spa. And the third question is how can I calculae the sq footage of my design. Thanks for all the help..

Welcome to the forum. Your instructor should know how to do this! Anyway........ Let assume that your site is a Level 0. This is what you have to do. Go the the Site Menu > Property Line (setup your lot size here) Any size will do to site your building. Next, Go to Toposurface> pick the 4 corners of you plot assuming the elevation is 0. Also go to properties to change the material for th toposurface such as site grass. If you want to introduce other material, draw SubRegion on your site and assign material such as Road. There you have your site to place your building. Don't tell your instructor you learn this from RevitCity!

For calculating floor areas.... Use "Area Plans" Creat a new Area Plan, Use "Area Boundaries" to define the boundary you are interested in. Drop an "Area" into it- and the area will be displayed. Regards, ian
