Brad Hartnagle has posted a 'how to' on his Blog Green Revit for exporting Revit information to Green Building Studio. Green Building Studio will give you some great preliminary energy analysis numbers, all for registering on their website. This just happens to be the same process you would use to export heating and cooling information to Trace 700.

Just had to quickly add to Steve's 6/28/06 post about using the Element ID tools. Select by Id can be really helpful when tracking down the causes and casualties of error messages. However one might ask how do I find one little element in a building? Revit will try to automatically find the "best" view to see an element, but as we know from experience Revit doesn't always pick a very good view, and quite often in large models, it just gives up.

What could be more basic to life on Earth than mud and straw? The dirt beneath your feet brings forth grasses that become straw. When you combine these two elements with loving care you can create an enduring beauty that will thrill your soul, and a home that will embrace and protect you. We have been experiencing a renaissance in the use of natural materials for building throughout the U.

The training in our DC office for E-Specs went very well yesterday! The team was very impressed by the in person training provided by the company. The CIO came down to do the training, by all reports, he and his team back at the company are very talented Revit users as well as spec writers. The general feeling by the team is that E-Specs is another tool that helps eliminate some of the mundane tasks that go with documenting a building, giving us more time to focus on design.

Nothing major to annouce. Our DC office did training with E-Specs today & Revit. I'm looking forward to hearing an update from them tomorrow about how it all went. Based on intial reaction it sounds like it was a productive day. I will post some information about the general reaction and results as it comes in. Our DC office is also planning on doing a targeted cost estimation exercise with an independent cost estimator based on Revit quantities.

One of the big draws of transitioning to a BIM oriented software like Revit Systems is benefiting from shared information. I can’t think of a more direct hit than being able to extract my specifications from my drawing model. That is exactly what InterSpec has developed in their e-SPECS software. Check out InterSpec’s web site for more information or this article in Cadalyst.

YEAH! Revit 9 is released, we can all jump for joy! New features, more improvements, better performance! Right, that was your reaction wasn't it? You know it was, it was mine too, still is. Take a step back though. What about that 120,000+ sq ft project, that is a big hole in the ground right now? With CIP columns poking out. That Revit file has been through alot you know, started in version 7, upgraded to 8.1, now CA is moving along nicely, the uprgade to 8 was a little sketchy, do I really wan

Richard Binning has developed a routine to help combine layer keys. If you have ever tried to bring together the standard Architectural keys with your Engineering keys, you were looking at a ton of manual labor without Richard's utility. He has recently updated it to include ADT and ABS for 2007 products. Download his routine here.

OK, I've avoided cheesy titles up until now, but I couldn't resist with this one. I'm conducting an informal survey to find out what families do people reach for first? When you're getting a project started in Revit, schematic design, deisgn development, whatever phase, what families do you need first, what families are important for putting together a decent looking set of documents?

Construction projects are high-stakes operations where even minor inefficiencies can lead to costly delays, safety concerns, and budget overruns. Managing risk in construction has always been a challenge, but as projects grow in complexity, traditional methods no longer cut it. Enter Digital Transformation - a game changer approach that replaces inefficiency with AI-powered analytics, real-time monitoring, and automated workflows to proactively manage risk.

Some CAD programs make it easy to insert special characters like ° or ±. I know Autocad has special key strokes for some commonly used special characters. With Revit you have to take a few extra steps to get special chacaters into Revit text (unless of course you want memorize many complex keycodes). The other advantage of this method is you have access to a pretty large variety of special characters like, ¼, ½, ¾.
