Revit Tip of the Day – by Carl Gibson
Revit TotD – 4.5.2010 | More Shortcuts!
So a while back I gave you a list of shortcuts that I find useful on a daily basis. Well, now that this project I’m working on is going in to CD phase and a lot of people are starting to detail, I thought it would be good to share a list of detailing shortcuts that make my life MUCH easier when I’m detailing. Enjoy!

All of the custom entries are already in your keyboard shortcuts file. You just need to uncomment them and place the key sequence you would like to activate that command! Have fun and good luck!

Revit TotD – 3.11.10 | Workset Woozy
about 6 months ago - No comments
So, you made a woozy on your central (and local) workset file. You were OK, until you found that there are no magic backup number files in the folder with your .rvt file like there were with your non workset files. Now your heart has sunk, and well, lets face it: you probably aren’t here

haHA! So this is what it feels like to not be sick. Well, that’s not my excuse for last week, but I can’t really show you why we had no TotDs last week… or rather can’t show you. Yet. Needless to say, I had a good reason. Hopefully I’ll be able to make up for

If had a nickel for every time someone asked me why Revit can’t render lights in the proper place on a tiles ceiling, I’d… well I’d be sitting back and writing these instead of writing these between work hours. Now, if I had a nickel for every time the person that asked me that told

With the environmentalists on the rise again, it’s more important than ever for us architects to try to save as many resources as possible. We all know how much of a paper hog an average size architecture firm is, much less the large ones! Here is a process that I push in all offices that
Revit TotD – 2.19.10 | Dimension Formulas
about 6 months ago - 3 comments
Gonna finish up the week with a very easy tip, yet very powerful for those complicated designs that use all those mathematical formulas and what not… Hopefully, by this point, you know that you can simply enter a length to determine a wall or line length, or really anywhere you can input a dimension.

So yeah, it’s been really busy around here, what with finally getting a new job, moving my family halfway across the country, settling in, making sure the new mom is doing good… well, I could go on with the excuses but the truth is I just missed you guys and gals! So here I am,
Revit TotD – 10.19.09 | Working with Profiles in Project
about 10 months ago - No comments
Every now and again you’ll run across an object that you want to change, but don’t want to have to figure out what nested family it’s using, stop working on the project, find the profile family, open the family, change it, save it, load it into the project, yada, yada, yada… who wants to do
