So have you ever wanted to give users the ability to offset and object either plus or minus a certain distance from a constant reference point. Like maybe you have a custom curtain panel family that you want the user to be able to plug in 1' 0" to offset the panel forward one foot from the curtain wall centerline, or you want them to be able to put -6" into the same field and have the panel move backwards 6" away from the centerline.

It's probably safe to say that most people converting to Revit MEP came from an AutoCAD background. Inevitibly, you will wonder, "How do I do this in Revit?" Here's one I had. AutoCAD has allowed the use of special text characters like Ø and ± since. well back when I owned a comb. This comes from the use of SHX files, which Revit does not use. So here's what you need to do.

Argh. I've been busy. After my last post I had a deadline on a 30,000 sq ft building, then there was Thanksgiving, AU then a deadline on a 100,000 lab/classroom building (all in Revit of course) oh and Christmas was in there too and New Years.

Anybody wanting to implement Revit MEP seems to know that content creation is a must. What you may not know is that Autodesk has posted a real good introduction to making MEP families. Not doors and windows but actual mechanical and Electrical components. Go to Autodesk's Revit MEP Documentation webpage then make sure to scroll to the bottom of the page, where you will see this.

You may have noticed that AutoCAD 2008 came with a great function to recover a drawing file and also recover any files that it referenced. It is found under the FileDrawing Utilities menu. This tool will recover a drawing and all of it's Xrefs then provide you with a report! It maintains the original file's format, Saves the original as a *.BAK, and updates custom objects if an object enabler is present.

It's the end of 2008, so my poll on what software you are using is closed. Here are the final results. Now let's turn our attention to something everyone seems to be talking about, yet I honestly don't see any in action. If you are using BIM, let us know. Just to Clarify, BIM is not Revit. BIM is a process by which Building information is modeled and shared.
Expert insights. Personalized for you.
