Why so sad?
Dec 17th
I know, I haven’t posted in a while. Joanna and I are still trying to get settled in to our new place and I still don’t have my laptop back (story later!). In the mean time I thought I would post this conversation I just had over at RevitCity.com. This is the result of trying…
And now, some more problem solving…

Anyone who thinks that Revit is just too slow really needs to stop griping and start using it more. It’s kinda like complaining about a manual transmission that keeps dying while you are trying to drive it, on your first time out in a manual transmission car. I love using Revit to come up with…
Revit TotD – 12.2.2010 | Ctrl your Ribbons!
Dec 2nd
So I really did have a real tip planned for today! Really and truly I did! Alas, this was foiled by the Apple store calling and informing me that the new display for my laptop was ready. Don’t worry, all is ok with the laptop, I just like abusing my AppleCare plan as much as…
Playing with Revit’s Head
Nov 22nd
I love making Revit think it’s capable of more than it’s capable of doing. Messing around with some rendering techniques. What ya think? Now if I could only remember how I got it to do this… :/

That’s, “Yet Another Day Without a Tip of the Day” in case you’re interested. I’m afraid you college kids and Reviteers in need of a Massing series may have to wait until we get into our new house. We’ve opted out of hiring professional moving help which means I get to work four jobs for…

Hopefully you spent all weekend playing around with those surfaces and components and patterns cause today we’re going to dive into some of the features behind each of those, beginning with Divided Surfaces! So as you saw from our last TotD, divided surfaces is the first step to take in turning your mass into something really fun…

How come my Apple only uses this much RAM to run Revit?… Yah.. I wish. I’d like to thank all the Parallels people that make this fantasy more real than it needed to be… xD
Revit TotD – 11.12.2010 | Divide and Conquer
Nov 12th
Wasn’t that a nice break?! Now back to what we were talking about… what were we talking about? Oh yea, CDE! So we’ve had a quick run down of creating masses in CDE and also of cutting holes in them. You know how to adjust the forms using reference lines and points. You can join,…
Revit TotD – 11.10.2010 | Mis-Right-Click
Nov 10th
So a small break from the Massing series just for today. I need a quick post so I can concentrate on some other errands and I ran across a fix for one of my greatest foes in Revit for quite some time: the dreaded MISSED RIGHT CLICK!!! So if you’ve worked on complex wall projects…
