Collaboration on the practice of interior design, architecture and multi disciplinary consulting. Is Disruptive Innovation possible in the construction industry? December 15, 2015. The concept of disruptive innovation seems to have become one of the mainstream technology trends to talk about in 2015 – replacing big data as the hot topic (and see my post on big data here. But has disruptive innovation yet impacted on the construction industry? And if it hasn’t yet, will it? USD) worldwide each year! In th...

Collaboration on the practice of interior design, architecture and multi disciplinary consulting. Newer posts →. Could we all achieve more by working less? February 23, 2015. Which claims that work-life balance is impossible – but to me, describes what I would think of as work life balance – in particular filling your life with things you love. Last week I read an article. On how working more than 50 hours a week actually makes you less productive. And could our clients also benefit? Rarr; 3 Comments.

http://do-u-revit.blogspot.com/2014/03/revit-2015.html
Friday, March 28, 2014. Me too blue .at least I found enough strength to type a few more words . Autodesk we are not impressed! March 28, 2014 at 3:52 PM. Would have been nice to see something like: handrails are now a breeze! March 29, 2014 at 10:22 AM. Good summary in only 5 words. March 30, 2014 at 7:25 PM. Very unimpressed by the list of improvements here. There are so many things fundamentals that need to be addressed. March 31, 2014 at 4:46 PM. A Not enough new stuff. April 1, 2014 at 5:15 PM.

Do U Revit?: Creating Non-Hosted Families from Hosted Versions
http://do-u-revit.blogspot.com/2014/03/creating-non-hosted-families-from.html
Wednesday, March 19, 2014. Creating Non-Hosted Families from Hosted Versions. I just recently discovered this gem and it seems there are a few people that know about it. Perhaps it was discussed in a forum or some other place, but since I never came across this nice little tip, I thought of sharing it here. So I tested this out and then realized that the resulting family is no “pseudo-anything”, but simply built into a host-less template with the Work Plane-Based option enabled. And make sure that the fa...

Do U Revit?: Data Management
http://do-u-revit.blogspot.com/2014/03/data-management.html
Saturday, March 8, 2014. Data management is something we struggle with constantly, and the more we collaborate across the globe and beyond the walls that contain a single office, the more complex it becomes. I don’t typically post advertisements here, so I’ll keep it short and add my commentary (what, you thought I wouldn’t have anything else to say? Imaginit also have a nice e-learning portal called ProductivityNOW. They make some resources available free of charge such as white papers, seminars, tips a...

Do U Revit?: To/From Room Door Parameters
http://do-u-revit.blogspot.com/2014/04/tofrom-room-door-parameters.html
Friday, April 18, 2014. To/From Room Door Parameters. Prior to Revit 2014, these parameters were very unreliable and prone to error. With Revit 2014, we saw the introduction of a new family parameter called Room Calculation Point. Which can help with reporting consistency. However be mindful of the fact that this setting has to be manually activated, otherwise the information will remain as unreliable as before. You can read more about the topic in this RFO thread. Will be set as the To Room. As you can ...

Do U Revit?: Upgrading Models and update to Revit Make Local
http://do-u-revit.blogspot.com/2013/07/upgrading-models-and-update-to-revit.html
Sunday, July 21, 2013. Upgrading Models and update to Revit Make Local. It is that time of the year when users start transitioning projects to the newer version of Revit. The first service pack was released this week and most now feel comfortable making the transition. I am always amazed at how many out there still use the Revit Make Local. And try it out. Please note that I have only tested in 2013 and 2014 OneBox, but it should work on stand-alone and past versions as well. It is becoming a roy...It is...

Do U Revit?: Copy/Monitor & Batch Copy for MEP Update
http://do-u-revit.blogspot.com/2013/11/copymonitor-batch-copy-for-mep-update.html
Thursday, November 21, 2013. Copy/Monitor and Batch Copy for MEP Update. In the previous post. I made a partially correct statement and want to elaborate more on it. I said that re-hosting doesn’t work, but turns out it just failed in my particular test files due to some special circumstances. In general it. In the test files, ceiling-based fixtures were used. When this model was linked and I ran Copy/Monitor, Revit took that ceiling-based fixture and modified it. There is definite room for improvement i...

Do U Revit?: Phantom Keynotes 2.0
http://do-u-revit.blogspot.com/2014/07/phantom-keynotes-20.html
Monday, July 21, 2014. Phantom Keynotes 2.0. Summer is here and life’s getting very busy, long vacation is over (sadly), now it’s time to get back in the swing of things! I just realized I missed re-posting something on Keynotes and Legends, so here we go…more to come, stay tuned. I posted about this topic in the past (see Phantom Keynotes. If the Annotation Crop Region. Another instance of Phantom Keynotes occurs with keynoted elements in close proximity to the view’s model crop region. This i...Enabled...

Do U Revit?: Manufacturer Content - Lighting
http://do-u-revit.blogspot.com/2014/03/manufacturer-content-lighting.html
Sunday, March 23, 2014. Manufacturer Content - Lighting. I originally wrote the following on the HOK BIM Solutions blog and have since received some additional comments/observations that I would like to add here before re-posting (thanks a lot to Dan Stine. Once an IES file is used, the family remembers the information and a link to an external file is not necessary. This is similar to the behavior of MEP families in 2014 which contain embedded lookup tables. Parameter can be connected. To a custom text.
