The Student and Tutor practiced advanced Revit modeling techniques, focusing on creating custom architectural elements. They covered creating openings in slabs, designing custom walls and floors with specific materials and layers, managing elevation levels for complex structures like swimming pools, and editing wall profiles for gates. The session concluded with a discussion on the difference between type and instance properties in Revit, and the Student was encouraged to practice these new skills.

The Tutor introduced the Student to the basics of Revit, covering the user interface, project setup, and the function of core panels. The Student practiced creating and managing architectural levels, including renaming, setting elevations with fractional units, and troubleshooting visibility issues. The session concluded with planning to cover placing AutoCAD plans and creating components in the next class.

Student and Tutor worked on advanced AutoCAD concepts, primarily focusing on managing overlapping drawings using selection cycling, modifying existing drawings with the `EXPLODE` command, and inserting pre-designed blocks from the `Design Center`. They also practiced manipulating these blocks by using `ROTATE` and `MOVE` commands, with a specific focus on angled rotations. The next session was scheduled for the following Wednesday to continue practicing these techniques.

The Student and Tutor focused on advanced Revit modeling techniques, addressing the Student's prior queries and introducing new concepts. They practiced scaling floor plans, customizing various wall types, assigning and modifying material appearances, creating structural elements like wall footings and ground slabs, and designing a custom gate by editing element profiles. The Student was encouraged to practice these skills and consolidate questions for future sessions.

The Student and Tutor clarified the requirements and gathered resources for an Architecture Assignment (Assignment 2A) focusing on the Canberra plan and Brasilia. They discussed the availability of specific course materials, the need for external research for certain sources, and confirmed the approach for hand drawings and referencing. The upcoming deadline and the total number of assignments for the course were also reviewed.

The Student and Tutor reviewed previously built Revit components and practiced creating and customizing walls within the software. They covered detailed processes for editing wall types, assigning layered materials, and understanding the impact of different property types on their designs. The Student plans to practice creating walls as follow-up before their next scheduled session.
