http://do-u-revit.blogspot.com/2014/03/revit-2015.html

Friday, March 28, 2014. Me too blue .at least I found enough strength to type a few more words . Autodesk we are not impressed! March 28, 2014 at 3:52 PM. Would have been nice to see something like: handrails are now a breeze! March 29, 2014 at 10:22 AM. Good summary in only 5 words. March 30, 2014 at 7:25 PM. Very unimpressed by the list of improvements here. There are so many things fundamentals that need to be addressed. March 31, 2014 at 4:46 PM. A Not enough new stuff. April 1, 2014 at 5:15 PM.

Do U Revit?: Creating Non-Hosted Families from Hosted Versions

http://do-u-revit.blogspot.com/2014/03/creating-non-hosted-families-from.html

Wednesday, March 19, 2014. Creating Non-Hosted Families from Hosted Versions. I just recently discovered this gem and it seems there are a few people that know about it. Perhaps it was discussed in a forum or some other place, but since I never came across this nice little tip, I thought of sharing it here. So I tested this out and then realized that the resulting family is no “pseudo-anything”, but simply built into a host-less template with the Work Plane-Based option enabled. And make sure that the fa...

Do U Revit?: Data Management

http://do-u-revit.blogspot.com/2014/03/data-management.html

Saturday, March 8, 2014. Data management is something we struggle with constantly, and the more we collaborate across the globe and beyond the walls that contain a single office, the more complex it becomes. I don’t typically post advertisements here, so I’ll keep it short and add my commentary (what, you thought I wouldn’t have anything else to say? Imaginit also have a nice e-learning portal called ProductivityNOW. They make some resources available free of charge such as white papers, seminars, tips a...

Do U Revit?: To/From Room Door Parameters

http://do-u-revit.blogspot.com/2014/04/tofrom-room-door-parameters.html

Friday, April 18, 2014. To/From Room Door Parameters. Prior to Revit 2014, these parameters were very unreliable and prone to error. With Revit 2014, we saw the introduction of a new family parameter called Room Calculation Point. Which can help with reporting consistency. However be mindful of the fact that this setting has to be manually activated, otherwise the information will remain as unreliable as before. You can read more about the topic in this RFO thread. Will be set as the To Room. As you can ...

Do U Revit?: Upgrading Models and update to Revit Make Local

http://do-u-revit.blogspot.com/2013/07/upgrading-models-and-update-to-revit.html

Sunday, July 21, 2013. Upgrading Models and update to Revit Make Local. It is that time of the year when users start transitioning projects to the newer version of Revit. The first service pack was released this week and most now feel comfortable making the transition. I am always amazed at how many out there still use the Revit Make Local. And try it out. Please note that I have only tested in 2013 and 2014 OneBox, but it should work on stand-alone and past versions as well. It is becoming a roy...It is...

Do U Revit?: Copy/Monitor & Batch Copy for MEP Update

http://do-u-revit.blogspot.com/2013/11/copymonitor-batch-copy-for-mep-update.html

Thursday, November 21, 2013. Copy/Monitor and Batch Copy for MEP Update. In the previous post. I made a partially correct statement and want to elaborate more on it. I said that re-hosting doesn’t work, but turns out it just failed in my particular test files due to some special circumstances. In general it. In the test files, ceiling-based fixtures were used. When this model was linked and I ran Copy/Monitor, Revit took that ceiling-based fixture and modified it. There is definite room for improvement i...

Do U Revit?: Phantom Keynotes 2.0

http://do-u-revit.blogspot.com/2014/07/phantom-keynotes-20.html

Monday, July 21, 2014. Phantom Keynotes 2.0. Summer is here and life’s getting very busy, long vacation is over (sadly), now it’s time to get back in the swing of things! I just realized I missed re-posting something on Keynotes and Legends, so here we go…more to come, stay tuned. I posted about this topic in the past (see Phantom Keynotes. If the Annotation Crop Region. Another instance of Phantom Keynotes occurs with keynoted elements in close proximity to the view’s model crop region. This i...Enabled...

Do U Revit?: Manufacturer Content - Lighting

http://do-u-revit.blogspot.com/2014/03/manufacturer-content-lighting.html

Sunday, March 23, 2014. Manufacturer Content - Lighting. I originally wrote the following on the HOK BIM Solutions blog and have since received some additional comments/observations that I would like to add here before re-posting (thanks a lot to Dan Stine. Once an IES file is used, the family remembers the information and a link to an external file is not necessary. This is similar to the behavior of MEP families in 2014 which contain embedded lookup tables. Parameter can be connected. To a custom text.

Do U Revit?: Revit on Mobile Devices

http://do-u-revit.blogspot.com/2014/04/revit-on-mobile-devices.html

Tuesday, April 1, 2014. Revit on Mobile Devices. These days everything revolves around the “cloud” and mobile devices, so it comes as no surprise that Autodesk announced the availability of Revit 2015 in the App Store and Google Play. Cannot be done in Revit. In the meantime Graphisoft continues in the struggle to capture market share. They think that the cloud has promise. As well, and are now playing catch-up to Autodesk once again. Revit on Mobile Devices. April 1, 2014 at 2:52 AM. Dave, you rock!

Do U Revit?: Underlay Visibility Issue in Linked Models

http://do-u-revit.blogspot.com/2014/11/underlay-visibility-issue-in-linked.html

Tuesday, November 25, 2014. Underlay Visibility Issue in Linked Models. Blog Sorry it’s a bit late, playing catch-up! When laying out lighting in a Reflected Ceiling Plan view, designers need to reference Furniture and Furniture Systems by overlaying them. When this geometry is in the host model (in the same model as the ceiling), the user simply sets the Underlay option in the view’s property and carries on with their work as shown below:. If link visibility is set to By Linked view. Use this source view.
