The Tutor introduced the AutoCAD array tool, explaining its different types and demonstrating the use of the rectangular array to repeat objects by adjusting columns, rows, and spacing. The Student attempted to practice the newly learned tool, but the session concluded due to technical issues with the Student's software, preventing further hands-on practice.

The Student and Tutor worked on an AutoCAD kitchen drawing, focusing on accurately placing and sizing architectural elements like a stove and fridge. They practiced using essential commands such as `move`, `rotate`, `scale`, `trim`, and `fillet` to integrate these components into the design. They scheduled the next session to continue working on the project.

The Student and Tutor reviewed creating and dimensioning a table family in Revit, focusing on setting up length, width, thickness, and height parameters using extrusions and blends. They practiced mirroring components and loading the custom family into a project, demonstrating how to modify its dimensions. The session concluded early due to an external interruption, with plans for the Student to schedule the next follow-up.

The Student and Tutor reviewed the process of creating a custom furniture family in Revit. They focused on selecting templates, using reference planes, creating extrusions, applying and flexing dimension parameters, and locking elements to ensure proper scaling. The Student was assigned to practice creating the table family from scratch as homework, and the next session was scheduled for Friday.

The Student and Tutor reviewed basic AutoCAD commands such as offset, layer creation, and object rotation, with the Student demonstrating strong proficiency. They practiced placing pre-existing blocks like furniture and plumbing elements, managed layers, and learned to create custom blocks from basic shapes. The session also covered troubleshooting software issues and briefly introduced the Mtext command for text annotation; the Student will continue practicing these concepts for the next session.

The Tutor and Student continued their lesson on Revit, focusing on building a new parametric furniture family. They practiced creating an extrusion for a tabletop, defining its dimensions as parameters, and setting its height by locking it to a reference plane. The Student also learned to create and position table legs and troubleshoot common modeling issues. For homework, the Student was asked to practice creating this family and review content from the previous session.
