You might have to rethink when going into Revit LT. I'm starting a list of things that matter and LT doesn't have:
1) visibility options for linked files
2) sun path
3) formats of export
4) generic models from linked files are always a little funny in LT
5) no local renderer - make it uneasy to do sunlight studies
6) NO CENTRAL MODEL
7) If you just ctrl + save a regular revit file in LT, it automatically rename it xxx_LT, without you knowing. Then when you open it again, your file will mostly likely crash. And so, you must rename it something else (anything but the default) after opening a regular file in LT.
8) No In-Place mass (super annoying if you just need a minor mass object)
Overall, I find the LT to be super handicapped. Maybe if you've never used Revit before, it's a good starting point. But I don't think it would be a healthy learning process because you're totally missing out on the juicy stuff. And if you've had precious Revit experience, you're just going to want to pull your hair out.
