Practical ideas for Revit, BIM and construction technology. Built from years of shared experience.
I’m looking into ways to batch initialize Revit models onto the new BIM 360 Docs (Document Management) platform. It is a work in progress at the moment – in Revit 2018, I think that there is limited a…
