Interface changes in Revit 2018

- [Instructor] Before we dive into Revit Essential Training, I want to take a moment to point out a few interface changes in the current release. As you would expect, each new release of Revit introduces new functionality and makes changes to existing functionality. Where these changes have impacted the content of the videos in the course, we have re-recorded those videos with the latest release to incorporate this new functionality. However, there have been some subtle changes to the user interface in this release of Revit, and we have not re-recorded videos where this was the only difference, so this means that portions of your screen may vary from what you see shown in the video. The most notable of these is going to be the elimination of the application menu. Okay, so in previous releases, we had the application menu in the upper left hand corner of the screen or the so-called big R menu, and if you look at the upper left hand corner of the screen in the current release, the big R has been replaced with a very small R which now just gives you access to restore, minimize, and close, and then the functionality of the previous application menu or the big R menu has been replaced with this new file tab on the ribbon. So, all of the previous functionality that was in the application menu is now here in the file tab. In fact, the file tab looks identical to previous application menus. The only difference is you're clicking on the word file instead of the big R. So, if any of the videos mention clicking on the big R menu or clicking on the application menu to access commands like open or new or save or print, in those videos, if they have not been re-recorded, I want you to simply choose the file menu and access those commands instead.
