In the image below, I show the basic process used to drive a Floor Area parameter into a manually added shared parameter.  Obviously, this scenario is not ideal - the data link isn't dynamic, so we have essentially created a mini-silo (that's what I'm going to call "in-software unlinked BIM") right inside Revit.In any case, here is how you can quickly do it with Whitefeet tools (start at 1 and...

This is a great post / video from pedroeron on RFO.  It essentially shows you how to hide the edges of imported geometry (such as from Sketchup), so that when it imports into Revit, you only see the shaded surfaces - not the ugly triangulated surface edges.  Nice!Also, this video shows that it is possible to Link a DWG into an inplace Component family - some interesting possibilities arise...

Here is the fix: If you unload the material library from the template, save it, close Revit, reopen, create a project from your template and add the Material Library there: not a problem. It's all there.Now getting back to answer number one: it stays there. The above workflow is a definitive solution to the problem. Once loaded into the project you can reload the Material Library in your...

It may not be immediately obvious how you can quickly transfer Project Parameters or Area Schemes between linked models (to allow scheduling of linked RVT data in a host project).Turns out the answer is pretty simple - just use Ctrl+C (Copy to Clipboard) to copy the required Schedules from one RVT to another.The full process is described at: Including Project Parameters or Area Schemes from Linked...

Some of you probably already realise that Case Apps have released a suite of Subscription tools (in other words, these are not free).One in particular caught my eye - Super Tag.  It provides a "simple means for tagging specific family types by category using a specified tag on as many views as you choose."Video: Offsite link:http://apps.case-inc.com/content/subscription-super-...

I can't recall how many BIM document PDFs I have downloaded over the years.  There are web indexes of the indexes of the lists of standards you can access...But here is a simple list by Ben Malone:https://docs.google.com/folder/d/0BwLLFYLrgVI6WldMeFlDQ1hSVE0/edit?pli=1It looks like it might be a work in progress - there are still plenty more that could be added (and probably will be, when Ben...

Have you ever wanted a very simple explanation of what Revit actually is and what it does?  Sometimes it can be hard to encapsulate this for new users.  Perhaps this post will be of assistance: what-is-revit - Revit Furniture.comIt includes step by step advice on learning Revit, plus links to resources (both online and downloadable). If you have used Revit for a while, you may find yourself...

A few interesting thoughts from revitdialog: The few BIM start up meetings I’ve sat in, usually involve “these are the BIM uses we are going to do”.  Really?  Did you ask the project what it wants.  There is a reason why you sit down and figure out what are the goals of the project BEFORE selecting the BIM uses.  More specifically what are the quantitative goals for the...

This is arguably my favourite free add-in for Revit.  Check out the new features:  •  Support for Revit 2014  •  New "Toggle Section Box" command  •  Ability to arrange the section box view side-by-side with the selected view  •  Support for creating section boxes from view outlines, section lines, and scope boxes  •  New "Quick Auto-Section"...

Very cool tip from Ben Malone - he shows you how to use AdPointCloudIndexer.exe from a command line (outside of Revit) to prepare point clouds for practical use.  A typical 2013 location for this utility is:C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Revit Architecture 2013\Program\AdPointCloudIndexer.exeImage from BIMopediaRead the whole post at:Stand alone indexing of RAW point cloud data into .pcg files | BIMopediaIf...

After receiving and using my SpacePilot Pro, I can honestly start with a simple:Wow.Have you ever wondered:Is the SPP difficult to setup and start using?Is the SPP compatible with my modelling software of choice?Revit and the SPP - is it worth it? Should I buy one?If you have, then read on...The SpacePilot Pro is the top-of-the-range 3D navigation peripheral offered by 3Dconnexion (formed in 2001...

I previously posted that Raster Design was now free for anyone with a Suite subscription that includes AutoCAD.  The nice implication of this is that you can now download versions of Raster Design from 2013 through 2010!  Just login and check out your Downloads on your Subscription page.Thanks Autodesk :-)Previous post: What Revit Wants: Every 2014 Suite that includes AutoCAD also gets Raster...
