It’s that time of year again, the latest version of Revit has launched: Revit 2020. It has only been a few days (Apr. 10th 2019 launch date) and already lost of posts about what’s new. This will be your one-stop location for all the post, podcasts and videos about the good, bad and ugly for Revit 2020. So be sure to check back often as there will be lots more to come from all your favourite BIM friends!
No matter how much you use Revit or even how long you have been using it there is always something new to learn. The other day while doing a Lunch & Learn session one of the attendees told me something I never knew and it blew my mind.
This is a Special Edition of the Weekly Roundup, focused solely on What’s New with Revit 2017 …….I would say all Flavors, but that’s one of the new things it’s just “Revit” in 2017, no more Architecture, Structure or MEP.
UPDATE: Video from this FormIt Friday now live – Link at bottom of this post
I am honoured and excited to have been asked to share some of what I talked about at AU 2015 a few weeks ago in Vegas with all the FormIteers on the last FormIt Friday of 2015.
This is going to be a recap session of what I did at AU, as well as a chance to talk about some of the class feed back. As well as getting to spend a little time to focus on some things that there just wasn’t enough time to fit in at AU.
Hi Everyone – We’re getting close to closing out 2015 and we want to have one more FormIt Friday to send the year off in style.
We’ve been lucky enough to make the acquaintance of power user Carl Storms. (aka the BIMsider) He led not one, but by popular demand, TWO AU sessions of his cleverly and aptly titled session: “FormIt + Revit = bye bye SketchUp’. Obviously the class resonated with many attendees and he’s agreed to share his knowledge with those who didn’t attend AU.
If you are interested in seeing a full version of my AU class: “Revit + FormIt = Bye Bye SketchUp” I will be doing it one more time in January at the IMAGINiT Online BIM User Group – January 12, 2016 1:30 – 3 PM Eastern Time
Here is the information about what my AU class was all about:
Topic: Revit + FormIt = Bye Bye SketchUp!
Class Summary: For years there has been a conceptual massing part of Revit that would allow designers to do many of the things they can do in SketchUp inside of Revit directly, but this has never really caught on and designers keep returning to SketchUp for ease of use. Now with the help of FormIt you can take your project from conceptual design all the way to construction documents with these two connected products without having to leave the .RVT file format. You can begin the conceptual design in FormIt and once the design is settled continue the working drawings process inside Revit. There is also the added benefit of being able to work on FormIt on your iPad or on any computer in a web based version, this allows for anytime anywhere design to happen. FormIt also has a feature that allows real time team collaboration on a design. This means the multiple members of a team can be simultaneously working on the same file from different locations, and different FormIt platforms.
Class Length: 60 Minutes
Class Type: Instructional Demo
Instructor: Carl Storms – Senior Applications Expert, IMAGINiT Technologies (yup its me!)

Another Autodesk University, or AU as we all call it is in the books, and once again it was just me and 10,000 + of my closest friends…..Oh yeah and a few friends not of this world!
This is all of the posts I’ve rounded up on AU2015, as I find more i will add them to this post and place an Update # at the top of the post. Now enjoy all the AU2015 goodness below!
Here is some more info on what the class is about:
