Mastering Autodesk Revit Architecture 2016…….how the love affair began

6-13-2015 9-56-10 AM

This past week I received my copy of the 2016 version of the “Master Autodesk Revit Architecture” series paperback book in the mail. While this was not something new to me, as I’ve been “collecting” them since the 2009 version, this one is special. Why you ask, well because this copy came direct to me from one of the authors, Eddy Krygiel …….and it was signed!

BIM 360 Glue: Issue with linked files when you use the NWC file option in BIM 360 Revit Add-in

This is a re-post of a Blog I did for work, which is posted on the IMAGINiT Building Solutions Blog here.

I had a client point out this issue to me, what they had tried to do was to export a Revit file to BIM 360 Glue, using the NWC option in the “Glue” feature in the BIM 360 Revit Add-in. It was a Revit 2014 model from a 3D view with Revit 2 links loaded. They had set their Navisworks Exporter 2014 to convert linked files.  However after exporting to Glue, none of the links have been exported.

What’s New in Revit 2016 – Hidden Gem #2 – Multiline Text Type of Parameter

This is a re-post of a Blog I did for work, which is posted on the IMAGINiT Building Solutions Blog here.

The latest version of Revit, 2016 is now out in the world and has been for a few weeks. I have come to learn about 2 little hidden gems of “New” features in Revit 2016. Now for whatever reason these hidden gems have been left off the official Autodesk information for what is new with the 2016 release. In this post I’m going to talk about second of the two hidden gems – Multiline Text Type Parameter.

I am considering creating some more formal Revit training courses that would focus on the landscape. But before I take the plunge and start producing anything, I have two questions below, so I would really appreciate if you could take the time to respond.

Also, please share this post with anyone that you think might be interested. Thanks!

 As usual, any additional comments are welcome.
