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.

Student and Tutor discussed the outcomes of previously submitted assignments and the ongoing progress for a new assignment. The Tutor provided updates on the development of a 3D model and associated documentation for the Student's upcoming physical model creation. They also coordinated on sharing necessary files and establishing a timeline for the collaborative work.

The Student and Tutor worked on an AutoCAD session, where the Student demonstrated their progress on a house design. The Tutor guided the Student on accessing additional components via the Design Center and extensively practiced the `ROTATE` command using the 'Reference' option for precise object placement. They also learned to use the `FILLET` command with a specified radius to create rounded corners. The next session is scheduled for Tuesday.
