Now Is Not the Time To Go Swimming In The Schuylkill

Constructonomics

Schuylkill has to be one of the weirdest words to spell. Try spelling it without looking – I guarantee you won’t get it. I always thought it was an Indian word but after reading somewhere on the internet, I learned that it’s actually Dutch, named by its Dutch discoverer. Either way, it’s hard to spell, however, it is typically a good place for recreation.

Revit OpEd

The manner in which Revit reacts to Instance Parameter changes to families you place has changed from version 2011 to 2012. In the past Revit regarded the changing of an instance parameter as though it was more important than the default value the family is supposed to use. This meant that any future families placed would use the value entered instead of the default value.

Of course it could -- it already has. But first lets recap the Solyndra saga. Solyndra is the solar panel manufacturer in California that qualified for a $535 million federally-backed loan.

From Autodesk's WikiHelp documentation: Note If multiple selection filters are applied to the same view, the order in which they are listed denotes priority. The selection filter nearest the top of the list takes precedence. (bold emphasis is mine) If you apply filters and find that you don't get the result you were after, double check the order you've applied them.
