Slow printing from Revit in certain views/sheets | Revit Products | Autodesk Knowledge Network. Issue: Printing from Revit® is slow when working with non-rectangular crop regions. Causes: The geometry that is passed to the printer for non-rectangular crop regions can cause the print processor to generate a significantly larger amount of data, leading to slower prints. Solution: Upgrade your printer/PDF driver to the latest version. Reduce the resolution specified in the Printer properties (600DPI or lower).
Test alternate printer drivers (if available for your printer).

Tips and Tricks | BIM Extension. How do you deal with overlapping grid bubbles? Whether you use “elbows” on your gridlines or offset your bubbles, you should never have to go to each view individually and manually change them.
Revit has the ability to apply the visual adjustments to your gridlines across multiple views using “Propagate Extents”. It seems as though this should be a relatively easy task, however there are a few tricks to getting this to work for your project. 1) Turn off the Crop View property of your view. First of all, your “Propagate Extents” button will do absolutely nothing if your crop regions are ticked in your view.
Ensure that this is not checked on the view your are adjusting your gridlines in. 2) Adjust your Gridlines. Once you’ve turned off the property which crops your view, you may adjust your gridlines to include elbows by clicking on the tiny break symbol near the bubble. 3) Turn off the Crop View property for all views you need to apply the grid override to. 4) Select all grids. Walls, floors, roofs, modelling in Revit for building purposes. The Revit Clinic: Families. I wanted to outline a potential error dialog and 2 scenarios where this could occur related to the shared parameters text file: The file ‘XX’ could not be read, or is not a valid shared parameter file.
In these 2 scenarios, the text file is read fine in Revit 2011 and 2012. However Revit 2010 generates this message. This can occur in the 2 examples below: 1. Load Classification Type In a Revit MEP Family > Manage > Shared Parameters > New > Discipline > Electrical > Type of Parameter > Load Classification. This will add this parameter to the shared parameter file. 2. In the Conceptual Mass Environment > Manage > Shared Parameters > New > Type of Parameter > <Divided Surface Type><Curtain Panels>.
In both cases above, Revit 2010 [or earlier releases] did not have the same type of parameters. For 2010 or earlier releases you can save a copy of the shared parameter text file, and search for the following: Load Classification Type - Search for: Divided Surface Type – Search for: Teknigroup.com. Search. Make Up My Mind. Toggle Several Parameters At One Time With Revit’s Yes/No parameter data type it is very easy to toggle two parameters using the statement: Not(Option A) in the formula field for Option B. Un-checking Option A checks Option B automatically. Checking Option A un-checks Option B automatically too. It isn’t so straightforward to apply the same concept to multiple check boxes. Let’s say we’d like to have four options and only one of them should be visible at a time. Here’s one way you could accomplish this. Is it almost as quick as checking a box?
One little side effect, if you enter a value that doesn't have a corresponding option...nothing is visible and you turn off all options! Revit MEP: YORK HVAC EQUIPMENT NOW AVAILABLE ON REVIT.

Linkedin. The National Institute of Building Sciences began publishing the bi-monthly Journal of the National Institute of Building Sciences (JNIBS) in June 2013, through a relationship with Stamats Commercial Buildings Group. The Institute's previous journals — the Journal of Building Enclosure Design (JBED), Journal of Building Information Modeling (JBIM), Journal of Advanced and High-Performance Materials (JMAT) and Journal of Hazard Mitigation and Risk Assessment (JHAZ) — have been amalgamated into this new periodical. The new JNIBS format will allow the Institute to expand coverage and highlight a number of additional program areas, including such recently established groups as the Low Vision Design Committee and the National Council of Governments on Building Codes and Standards. JNIBS will be available as an interactive online digital periodical, with searchable content and links to advertisers, reference materials and bonus photos, as well as a subscription in print form.
JNIBS April 2016. Our Commitment to OpenAsset. Our Commitment to OpenAsset We have a lot to celebrate with OpenAsset over the past 10 years, building a product with a great user base we love. With that in mind and to serve our clients best, we have decided to focus on our core strengths and have an announcement to make. OpenAsset Media, our original product for managing images & videos, has been wildly successful in helping AEC companies. Today we are reaffirming our commitment to this product and will be taking it into exciting new directions. While we hoped to achieve a similar level of success with our second product OpenAsset BIM, the writers cliche of the “hard 2nd novel” has proved to be true. We have decided to concentrate on what we do best; continue to help people manage images and videos through OpenAsset Media and ceasing support for OpenAsset BIM starting in 2016.
This decision will enable us to double down on the needs of the vast majority of our users, and continue to retain over 99% of our clients year on year. Conclusion. Chris Mounts » Technical Project Manager & Advanced Technology Specialist. Background The traditional workflow for our scanners has always been: Setup the scanner in position and adjust targetsRun a the scanSelect the targetsAcquire the targets Repeat.. With the release of Leica Cyclone 7.2 came the ability to extract black and white targets from scan data automatically. Disclaimer [notice]As discussed on this site in the past we are not in the business of accuracy measured in millimeters. The Challanges Possibly the biggest drawback to this approach is missed targets. The Benefits The process has delivered on our hopes of reducing field time. The Results For some time now I have worked by the principle of “You can not improve what you do not measure”.
As shown, there was a dramatic drop in minutes per scan. Although each project varies in its specifics each follow this approximate pattern. The data also reveals other interesting information, for example projects using field acquisition on average take more breaks and for longer times.

" It’s so good that its bad | The Revit Convert. Continuing from my previous post (well, along the same thought lines), I have come to the conclusion that Revit MEP is so good that it can actually be bad!
Let me explain. With Revit MEP, I can design ductwork with its insulation, and while coordinating with structural and architectural, I see that the duct is banging right through a joist. It is at this point that I need to make a value determination; do I fix it or let it go through? Let’s look at both: Fix it I need to get the duct through the space given me from the architectural plans and the structural. Oh, we can’t forget about electrical and their lights and cable trays. We can go to the structural engineer and tell them they need to give me more room, which means they have to spend more time re-designing and evaluating. And we absolutely cannot forget the biggest factor that prevails: we all have a budget and time allotted towards the project. Pipe Blobs So, another scenario where Revit is so good that it is bad is in pipes.
The BIM Jedi (formally the Revit Jedi): Exit Path Line Type. Here’s an idea I had for clearly showing exit travel path. We want the path to show clearly but we don’t want to use heavy lines as it can sometimes be confusing with wall fire rating line types. What I've done here is use a repeating detail, this way it’ll only show on the view we want (it’s not a model component), it can be any style you choose. In this case I've used a simple grey arrow, you could use a person running, or better yet a person running who is on fire… Start by using the family template “Detail Component line based” Imperial or Metric, it’s up to you.
Sketch your desired symbol, save detail component, load into project. After you've loaded it into your project you now need to create a repeating detail using this “Detail Component”. Duplicate and rename an existing repeating detail and specify the Detail, Layout, Spacing and Rotation (I seem to have to rotate mine 90* Counter clockwise!) Then trace or place your path using your repeating detail… Should look something like this.

Originally Posted by Dave Jones DDPduplicate the callout bubble, rename it, and change the reference label in the copy would probably workNope, it doesn't.Your original view's Reference Label parameter setting controls the reference label for any and all callouts or other views that reference that original view.Elevations work because the mark body and the mark pointer can be set separately to different elevation view types.
So your original elevation might have its type set with SIM, but then you can create another elevation type with OPP, place another elevation referencing your original, and change the mark body (the circle or square) to your OPP type.This has been an issue for many releases now. Way back in version 7 and before, this worked correctly. You could set different sections referencing an original to have different reference labels. This is long overdue to be fixed. The reference label REALLY needs to be an instance parameter. Finish 1[4] vs Finish 2 [5] The 4 and 5 refer to the priorities of the layer. I'm going from the top of my head, so hopefully someone will correct any mistakes here.Wall joins are controlled by the material and the priority of the layer. If two layers have the same priority (say Finish [4]), AND the same material, then they will usually join seamlessly.
If the material is different, then the layers will join with a line between them. This works for around 90% of the walls that I've encountered, and when it doesn't it's usually due to some conflict on another level or walls not lining up properly.Lower numbered priorities generally indicate that a layer is installed earlier in the construction process.
