View References

View references

 – there are two types of VIEW REFERENCES

 – opposite and adjacent.

 

View References ONLY show in PRIMARY<>Dependant view relationships. They are not visible in standard views. It is best to find the extents of the dependent views from the primary view and place the view reference tags there- use the dependant view extents (Dashed in view/annotation crop regions in the primary view) to place the tags.

 

BOTH Opposite and Adjacent tags should be used as they ‘grow’ from opposite sides of the match line-

The invisible aligning line (Below in purple) should align with the match line. Each must point to the corresponding dependant views- adjustable from the options bar or element properties.

 

NOTE:

·         In the primary view reference ALL view reference tags show.

·         In the dependant views- ONLY the view tags unrelated to the view show. In the example graphic above- match line 1/AE111-B will not show in dependant view AE111-B, however it will show in dependant view AE111-A as well as the primary view.

·         Hopefully in future Revit versions- a single tag placed in an overlapping region will point to the adjacent view.

 

Important to note these are the same tags shared between PRIMARY and DEPENDANT views. If more than 1 / 2 of the tag is off the crop region or annotation crop region it will not be visible in the dependant view- so keep that in mind when laying out the tags.

Powerpoint countdown and current time in slides VBA

Add text fields- this VBA searches through the objects in the first frame until it finds " " in the text some where, truncates everything from and to the right and replaces it with an active countdown timer or current time in the box. Refreshes every 500ms with a prtsafe call so it doesn't bog down the CPU. Add a slide advance to start the next slide and begin automated slide advancement. Attribute VB_Name = "Countdown" Private Declare PtrSafe Function WaitMessage Lib "user32" () As Long Public Sub Wait ( Seconds As Double ) ''non cpu-intensive wait timer '' https://stackoverflow.com/questions/57268161/sleep-wait-timer-in-powerpoint-vba-thats-not-cpu-intensive Dim endtime As Double endtime = DateTime.Timer + Seconds Do WaitMessage DoEvents Loop While DateTime.Timer < endtime End Sub Sub Countdown_from_Start () Dim Time As Date Dim Count As ...

Revit area plans adding new types and references (Gross and rentable)

Image
Note to self: Add additional (duplicate) gross area and net area schemed under Area Plans And Area schemes... Really counter-intuitive place to put this instead of say...  Area Plans> New Type> Edit Type (ADD) or Create an area plan, then Go to Properties, Edit Type and Duplicate... Always seem to forget this one! 2015-10-16-And for the calculation type... To update: this also applies to Revit as well as LT- The gross calculations cannot be overridden, however the 'rentable' comes in various flavors... From AD Revit help: Applies to Revit LT 2015 Rules are determined by one type of space bordering another space. The following table shows area measurement rules. To find the appropriate measurement rule, find the selected Area Type and the corresponding Bordering Area Type. Gross Building Area Scheme Types Gross Building Area Scheme Types Area Type Selected Bordering Area Type Measurement Rule Gross Building Area Gross Buil...
