Welcome back to Revit TotD!¬† Hope everyone had a great weekend, and is looking forward to yet another Revit Tip of the Day! As usual, today’s tip is courtesy of that AHA! moment where I think that I’m taking something for granted that may not be known by some.¬† That is what a tip of […]

Be honest, how many of you have received this error when working on parameter formulas?¬† Yeah… wait.¬† I only see my hand up.¬† Be honest, it’s ok.¬† I’d be willing to bet that anyone that has dealt in complex parameter formulas have received this error at one point in time. Well, here’s the solution.¬† Remember […]

Today’s TotD is the epitome of TotD.¬† Short, sweet and everything a tip should be: not a full lesson! Ever accidentally lost your selection because your coworker destracted you or your boss’ cat sat on your keyboard while you were trying to select all those little detail lines?¬† Well, there is an easy way to […]

Hope everyone had a good weekend!¬† I’m back with a quick tip on helping you manage those family files. Ever notice how some of the families that come out of the box with revit have multiple options to select from before you load the family in?¬† For instance the Structural Column families give you a […]

So today’s is going to be a simple one.¬† Weekend is coming up and I have a lot of studio work to do plus an abstract for my term paper (*gleee*).¬† So here I hope to point out some important file locations for you to play with (at your own risk).¬† Some of these are […]

Another TotD courtesy of the RevitCity chatroom.  This one is something I hear asked a lot almost anywhere I go.  It delves into the family editor, which if the sound of that scares you, it’s just how us reviteers say “Open a family file (.rfa) with revit.”  The goal of this tip is to show […]

This one come courtesy of Steel2Steel on RevitCity.com chat room.¬† It relates to his post here.¬† He was wanting to make his revit model look like a CAD drawing.¬† This blunder aside, I decided this wul dbe a nice little tip for my TotD readers.¬† Enjoy! Filters are your friend.¬† When it comes to Visibility […]

Yeah, so my tip of the day turned into a tip of the week.¬† So sue me for false advertising (please don’t, I have enough problems as it is and very little for you to win in an actual lawsuit).¬† It just so happened that I decided to start tip of the day, 2 days […]

While watching Will Harris’ Rockstar Hour today, I recalled how many people I’ve come across that did not know how walls worked in Revit.¬† While the TotD is not designed to be a full blown lesson, I have prepared a couple tips for placing walls. 1) Making a box of walls in a clockwise motion […]
