  • Revit TotD – 3.17.09 | Visibility Control with Yes/No Parameters

    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 […]

  • Double Standards

    I’ve run across a lot of nasty and usually false remarks about the abilities and downfalls of Revit and those of us that use Revit. Usually these remarks are made by AutoCAD diehards that can’t, or don’t want to, understand how to use Revit. What gets me is how they hold such a high level […]

    I have noticed in a lot of projects I end up cleaning, that people tend to misuse wall profiles. What I end up running across most commonly is a wall that may have needed to be profiled at one point, but is no longer profiled, or a wall that has had the profile sketch moved […]
