OVERHAULIN’
Jan 11th
Is it a SOPA violation? I’ll let you decide. It’s really in regards to some major changes coming up regarding RevitTotD.

Protip #… oh I forget. Change your keyboard shortcuts for the folowing: Select All Instances: In Entire View – SSA Select All Instances: Visible in View – SA Cause let’s face it, every time you hit “SA” you meant to select everything in that view!
