Looking at the things taking shapes accompanying it with a piece of classical of Gioachino.Rossini - William Tell Overture (Finale) by maestro Herbert von Karajan is indeed very enjoyable. Only thing is that the piece is too short for the Revit to finish processing the journal. I would suggest follow it up with another piece - the Gioachino Rossini - The Barber of Seville - Overture. It would make your day!<br /><br />The following is exactly as Zach put it.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqwcK9RcRFLyolMwe2yS8-Hm2KdyZRFx2ihBZEQ3OMIvJeISCyp9_Kus9q0pJOhie-K2MIOIbXeYRvgE9SiNN0CgTeQRYIiSdru4YzHY7KrRKf5KaU_TEG0aOTjE6j_-a0gQPaElbG7QOX/s1600-h/pimpmydome.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 212px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqwcK9RcRFLyolMwe2yS8-Hm2KdyZRFx2ihBZEQ3OMIvJeISCyp9_Kus9q0pJOhie-K2MIOIbXeYRvgE9SiNN0CgTeQRYIiSdru4YzHY7KrRKf5KaU_TEG0aOTjE6j_-a0gQPaElbG7QOX/s320/pimpmydome.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5411584622444451970" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Psst, hey kid . . . want to make the dome of the Pantheon in 220 seconds* with Revit 2010?<br /><br />1. </span><a href="http://buildz.info/downloads/pimpMyDome.zip">Extract the contents of this .zip file to a folder on your machine</a><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">.<br /></span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">2.

So how do Revit handles this then?<br /><br />From Revit 2009 onwards, you can actually do that though not exactly the same. Revit 2009 allows to manually overwrite the automatic dimension value with another, descriptive text.<br /><br />When you double-click on the dimension text, the "Dimension text" dialog is displayed. There you can enter the overrides - the text, prefix, postfix, etc.:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRAx0KCC8vZ2RSmCx3BKssix876gEGh4AyWVZ4lFbsXfw7UsGNO_o7tx3kkGHFu90xl5r4CrDbuFD1sQs2nP05N0iIXf0T1KKuwAimK-umz5Hyv0oTx2WLwuMz7OfKuglo3FkAno1zorhx/s1600/revit-override+dim.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 319px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRAx0KCC8vZ2RSmCx3BKssix876gEGh4AyWVZ4lFbsXfw7UsGNO_o7tx3kkGHFu90xl5r4CrDbuFD1sQs2nP05N0iIXf0T1KKuwAimK-umz5Hyv0oTx2WLwuMz7OfKuglo3FkAno1zorhx/s320/revit-override+dim.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5409177488778980146" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Revit will warn you if you try to overwrite the measured value with numeric value - only texts are allowed.<br /><br />If you really want to enter a "fake" value, you may enclose it with parentheses or prefix it with dashes.Revit Bimmerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08869037848470467256noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7840929345763539362.post-60842087986741781552009-11-28T07:03:00.000-08:002009-11-28T07:12:53.735-08:00Open Revit files directly from webAre you aware that you can actually open Revit projects (RVT) and families (RFA) direcly from web?<br /><br />It is true. Revit can open RVT and RFA files (projects, families) directly from a URL address on web.<br /><br />In the file open dialog (Ctrl+O) try e.g. to enter the file name as:<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);">http://www.revitlibrary.com/dl/project-abc.rvt</span><br /><br />Revit will download the file from the internet to a temporary folder and open it for editing. Possible changes are saved back to this temporary file (not back to the web).<br /><br />Another option for using web repositories is inserting Revit families (libraries) directly from web by mouse-dragging with the iDrop technology. Try e.g. to use the "eyedropper" and drag the table from the web page (say Revitcity) to your Revit application window.Revit Bimmerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08869037848470467256noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7840929345763539362.post-91556782203855653602009-11-28T06:44:00.000-08:002009-11-28T06:56:59.845-08:00Cannot display thumbnails of RVT/RFA files in Windows ExplorerThe other day, I was installing Revit Architecture 2010 at my customer place. I realized that the Windows Explorer in Windows Vista just does not display the proper thumbnails (preview) of Revit projects (.RVT) and Revit families (.RFA). Re-installation also does not seems to help either.<br /><br />After some googling, I found the solution as follows:<br /><br />Run the command window in the Administrator mode (under Windows Start type "cmd", right-click on the result and choose "Run as Administrator"). In the command line then type:<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);">regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Autodesk Revit Architecture 2010\Program\RevitPreview.dll"</span><br /><br />This will re-register the DLL library for previews - RevitPreview.dll. A message confirming a successfull registration of the DLL module should appear. After this, the thumbnails (preview) will appear properly.Revit Bimmerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08869037848470467256noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7840929345763539362.post-3606216289817382902009-11-27T22:52:00.000-08:002009-11-28T02:13:10.460-08:00Top 10 Reasons to upgrade to Autodesk Revit Architecture 2010?Actually, this should be called the top 10 features of <span style="font-weight: bold;">Revit Architecture 2010</span> as it is taken right off the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Autodesk Revit Architecture</span> Top 10 Features.

We understand that Mental Ray rendering in 3ds Max would be rendering in random box (called bucket), this bucket actually indicate that how many processors are being used in the rendering. So, for a Dual Core processor, there would be two buckets running on screen. In the same way, Quad Core processor would display 4 buckets when rendering. Now, Revit rendering also employs Mental Ray technology, why you cannot utilise all the 4 cores in the rendering?</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">The answer is this: </span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">Revit rendering do not exactly employ the same technology even though it is said to be Mental Ray based. So, the Revit rendering does utilise all the 4 cores but it only shows 1 bucket while rendering.</span>Revit Bimmerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08869037848470467256noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7840929345763539362.post-61113285619742366312009-06-08T03:10:00.000-07:002009-06-08T04:58:58.205-07:00Introduction to Conceptual Massing in Revit 2010<span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;" lang="EN-US">Conceptual Massing in <span class="SpellE">Revit</span> 2010 is the major feature and major addition in <span class="SpellE">Revit</span> 2010.

However, are you able to create your own family template? The answer is - it is possible.<br /><br />1. You may copy an existing family template say Generic Model. Rename it Custom Template.<br /><br />2. Now this is the trick. Rename the template from .RFT to .RFA. This will allow you to edit the template file.<br /><br />3. Customize your template file as required. Saved it and rename it back to .RFT.<br /><br />4. Now when you create a new family, there will be a new template call Custom Template.<br /><br /><br /></span>Revit Bimmerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08869037848470467256noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7840929345763539362.post-60695119430370856322008-10-07T09:32:00.000-07:002008-10-07T10:07:28.619-07:00Creating Axonometric Sectional View<span style="font-family:arial;">Most of us uses Section Box to create a 3D sectional view. However, sometimes we may want to create an axonometric sectional view from a sectional view. Using Section Box is not so accurate. For this, we may use the 3D Views command to achieve this.<br /><br />1. Use <span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);">Duplicate View</span> to duplicate the default 3D view. Rename it <span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 255);">Axo View</span>.<br /></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">2. In the floor plan, draw a Sectional Line using <span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 204);">Section</span>. You may rename it <span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 255);">Axo Section</span>.<br /></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">3. Double click on the Axo View to activate it. Pick on the empty area. This is important so that you can change the View Orientation.<br /><br />4. Goto <span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 204);">View</span> pull down menu, pick on <span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 204);">Orient</span> and then <span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 204);">To Other View..</span>..</span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5XfN1stPiZC7Pevl7lXeDCP2AaoR0xzixeyTAyXUNoq7o_iQa6G3TaE9aw-GGMe0bsHDQtp09oKKHkgTbBXGyKkVw-OmfRZtDh72w6oEbmawdKd9RgPHhJ2vjoV7e4YgC1SN7Yrrz7IZT/s1600-h/blog-orient.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5XfN1stPiZC7Pevl7lXeDCP2AaoR0xzixeyTAyXUNoq7o_iQa6G3TaE9aw-GGMe0bsHDQtp09oKKHkgTbBXGyKkVw-OmfRZtDh72w6oEbmawdKd9RgPHhJ2vjoV7e4YgC1SN7Yrrz7IZT/s320/blog-orient.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5254457057147147298" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><br /><br /><br /><br /></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><br /><br /><br /></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Select the view Section: Axo Section.</span><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiEOW5OelKKOSfV5XrzuK_yyiz0zFYSxK7cgc0T-Q4s3YdLQ77i-DFJr-gmhnDOyWrb2eMcxoR__KlQWhxDM4ZU_LFa-oPNpBVMvrR6PcELtmAqNm0-PwgnxlS6Q5TpnZjw5iN-vXdmPmU/s1600-h/blog-orient2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiEOW5OelKKOSfV5XrzuK_yyiz0zFYSxK7cgc0T-Q4s3YdLQ77i-DFJr-gmhnDOyWrb2eMcxoR__KlQWhxDM4ZU_LFa-oPNpBVMvrR6PcELtmAqNm0-PwgnxlS6Q5TpnZjw5iN-vXdmPmU/s320/blog-orient2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5254458315951144370" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Now the view is oriented to Section View.</span><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhygwLxbIGJmvbg9UTyJGop7y3TFiyuyF1uihUoh_9xKugObN5s-ZdrNm7GEZIywyHngScCUHT8IneKwaV_wu3yOY4EWNNzd95ueUw4PH6iVatJYA5grKDjL6xmO025ZK104u4MsDWb0QAd/s1600-h/blog-section.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhygwLxbIGJmvbg9UTyJGop7y3TFiyuyF1uihUoh_9xKugObN5s-ZdrNm7GEZIywyHngScCUHT8IneKwaV_wu3yOY4EWNNzd95ueUw4PH6iVatJYA5grKDjL6xmO025ZK104u4MsDWb0QAd/s320/blog-section.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5254458778715061842" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />5.

It appears that some part of the CAD drawing are having unusually high and low points. Even in AutoCAD the iso view does not display the drawing entities as well. After I edit the elevation of all the lines and blocks, then the drawing appear as per normal.<br /><br />This apparently is only a problem in AutoCAD and Revit 2009. Seems that the display would not work properly when there are irregular Z points in version 2009 but other version will display the drawing with the irregular points. So, if your 3D view in Revit suddenly goes blank, please check your imported CAD drawing for a ny irregular points.<br /><br /></span>Revit Bimmerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08869037848470467256noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7840929345763539362.post-12815101609328393762008-08-04T00:50:00.000-07:002008-08-04T00:57:28.607-07:00Problem with Host Sweep-Roof Fasia in Revit 2009<span name="KonaFilter"> <span style="font-family: arial;">I was trying to model the ridge tile and hip tile on roof and realise that the Host Sweep on Roof Facsia do not allow you pick on the ridge or hip anymore in Revit 2009. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">This is because of a bug in Revit 2009 Build: 20080321_1900.
