Ok... forgive me, but I've been working on one account and one project for a while, and it seems AutoDesk has rebranded all of their collaboration platforms like 5 times since I last pulled my head out of the sand. That project was on a full Collaborate Pro license and was all managed within Construction Cloud. I used the desktop connector to put in all our linked models (there were 28), and we managed access to our model via OUR ACC project. Now I'm at a new company, and we are working on a project that requires collaboration with other trades, and have been invited to the project via BIM360 ..read more

I am trying to create a wall tag family that will link to a different sheet containing a blow up of the wall elevation. My company does this to locate Curtain Wall openings on overall building elevations and then when you click on the tag in the PDF, it sends you to a blow up elevation of the Curtain Wall. I'm not even sure it's possible at this point. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Chris ..read more

Howdy brains trust, I am creating an new title block and need a little bit of help. I have created a checkbox with a visibility parameter for each discipline used by our company (spread out for vis but is nested). This works fine, however after putting it out for general comment to the company it was decided that the discipline should also be added to the sheet list schedule. Here is my problem and I am probably overthinking it, how can I get the checkbox to populate discipline parameter and in turn the title block eg. if Architecture is checked then the 'A' would populate Discipline parameter ..read more

Hello All! I come seeking knowledge in regards to referenced section cuts. With our work flow, we have Curtain Wall frame elevations that have the same jamb details and would like to be able to cut one section and reference it to a detail view and then cut the opposite jamb with the same detail, but have a subscript that identifies it as "Opp". Is this possible or do any of you have an efficient workaround to this situation?? Thanks in advance ..read more

I work for a small university and we are transitioning to REVIT. Typically any models we get would come from consultants and Architects. Once we have these models how can we effectively use them as an end user? The obvious initial thought is space planning but looking for suggestions for additional benefits ..read more

Hello and thank you for your help. I am working on recreating my firms door schedule and am running into a bit of an issue in Revit 2020. It is our firms standard to place the text “PR” in the same cell as the width for double doors (EX: a 6’0” double door would have the cell read “3’-0” PR”). Currently, the width is a text parameter that we just type in the width of the door plus “PR” but has lead to issues in the past. My goal is to have the door schedule update the width automatically and add “PR” to doors wider than 5’. I believe that the best way to do this would be to use Calculated Par ..read more

Question for Revit gurus out there. I use keynotes extensively for both Elements and Materials and have a really comprehensive identification system. I've just started using the Multi-Category Schedule function as a means to create an 'all-in-one' schedule that is part of each Revit file (instead of having a separate external file e.g. Excel). The Multi-Category schedule works perfectly for displaying the 'Element' keynotes and their related information, but it doesn't show the 'Material' keynotes (even though they share the same 'Keynote' parameter.) I find this odd as the keynote legend ..read more

Good Morning! When I print to PDF from Revit, all text gets scrambled up. I know that I need to go in and uncheck the "Rely on system fonts only" box in the properties, but its very annoying when I forget to to do this. So what is the actual root of this problem? How do I fix it so I don't need to uncheck this box every time? Thanks for any help ..read more
