  • RevitTotD – 7.6.2015 | Delete all Revisions

    “Hey, we decided we don’t need any revisions for the next issue.” Sure no problem.   Except your project has 1,381 Revisions in it, across 140 sheets… … and they’re all hidden… … and as everyone knows, you can’t delete that last revision from Revit.   ENTER DYNAMO! You can download the graph here (Dynamo […]

  • Revit Hating

    Ever had one of those things that you always kinda knew, but didn’t REALLY know until you looked at it from outside your box (I thank Bruce Mason, my middle school Target teacher for the ability to do this)? So today I was thinking about all the hate that Revit gets, even from me; especially […]

  • Not so Perfect Ending…

    This is not what you want to see after waiting 15 minutes for a model regeneration after reloading a family: 

  • Coordination: AutoCAD v Revit

    This is how you handle coordination in AutoCAD: “I see structural members in our RCP where I’m trying to put lights…” “OK, just delete those lines” This is how you handle coordination in Revit: “I see structural members in our RCP where I’m trying to put lights…” “If you see it in RCP, then it’s […]

  • PDF Rant

    I wish people would realize that if you’re working on a revit project, if you do markups in DWF instead of PDF, you can ACTUALLY OVERLAY THEM IN REVIT!!!!

  • Revit 2013 – New Features Tour

    So the time has finally come! The NDA has been lifted and the features are flying… well at least from those of us who actually waited for the NDA to be lifted. Here today I’d like to “briefly” list some of the new features in Revit 2013 and then spend the next weeks days going […]

  • Revit TotD – 3.21.2012 | Family Creation Series – Family Planning

    So here’s the next installment in the Family Creation series. This is the continuation of our talk about planning out the families and getting everything ready before you go into the family editor. I talk about a strategy that I’m developing which I feel works pretty well, and involves separating out the Content, Structure and […]

  • Revit TotD – 2.7.2012 | Somewhere to Start Families 2.2

    Yes! I’m really going to start this back up. A post here, A post there. Maybe one in between. Either way, I’ll be trudging through this series as well as posting the occasional impromptu tutorial post. In the meantime, I’m going to just leave the text that I wrote over 9 months ago and just […]

  • BIM TotD – 2.6.2012 | EOH

    If you don’t know by now, I’m a KS junky… that’s Keyboard Shortcut for you mouse clickers (try it, try typing KS in Revit to see what happens!). So it occurred to me that I should share another quick KS that I use quite a bit.   A personal preference of mine is to halftone objects that […]

  • Stop putting info in your BIM model!!!

    Someone recently told me I need to find the balance between modeling and drafting. I asked them why and their response was “I’M AN AUTOCAD USER DON’T QUESTION ME!”.. no seriously, I have no clue what their response was because I stopped listening once I realized that the reason they didn’t want to model things […]
