Practical ideas for Revit, BIM and construction technology. Built from years of shared experience.
Today I was trying to open a particularly stubborn DWFx file. In Autodesk Design Review 2013 it would stall completely. ADR 2018 would throw an error, crash or stall as well. I ended up using Autodesk…
Do you ever have a set of DWF or DWFx files you would like to batch convert to PDF? It is super easy with Revizto: Open a Revizto project Go to 2D space Click Import (down arrow), then Select all of y…
Sometimes in Glue addin for Revit will fail with the message “One or more gluing errors occurred“. You may be able to workaround this problem by following these steps: After receiving the error, immed…
Sometimes you have a set of DWFs that you would like to work with in Revit. For example, you might have DWFs of site equipment, fences and trucks that would be useful for site modelling in Revit. Here…
A DWF file is somewhat of an an end-point when it comes to 3D data and BIM workflows. By design, it is difficult to repurpose a DWF into a format where you can then alter the model, or use it in a des…
Probably the browser one is the most interesting… Oh, is it only me that finds the misspelling of accuracy quite hilarious 🙂 JT Import Add-inEnables JT files to be accessed from within Design Review w…
PDF is ubiquitous. As great as DWF is, it just will never have the market saturation that PDF does. That is why there is definitely a market for a good tool to make 3D PDFs from Revit. As Revit users,…
What is Navisworks Manage good for? Model aggregation – either from pure Revit or from a mixture of 3D software Clash Detection Programme Visualization (timelining) Some great things about Navisworks:…
Two great tips via The Building Coder today. Firstly, the updated Revit SDK is available for download from here. Here are some links: Revit 2014 SDK (Update April 24, 2013) (exe – 217899Kb) Revit 2013…
