Fwd: New comment on "Is BIM (or more accurately, Revit) development really stagnating?"


LinkedIn Groups

 OSI (Open Systems Interconnection), similar to TCP-IP, is a communications model. < http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OSI_model > The Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model is a product of the Open Systems Interconnection effort at the International Organization for Standardization. It is a prescription of characterising and standardising the functions of a communications system in terms of abstraction layers. Similar communication functions are grouped into logical layers. A layer serves the layer above it and is served by the layer below it.

How might this help us to make the world's building information easy to access? I'm not sure yet.

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

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

Coding in python and fighting the #Autodesk Python basic editor with all the Case Sensitive syntax I decided to use Visual studio to code/debug. Problem is I was missing stubs. Grabbed them from the gtalarico GIT iron python stubs through a Visual studio Community 20220 CLONE in Visual Studio Community 2002: Adding the references to Visual studio: Tools>Options and: Add Stubs Path to the top-level folder containing stubs(4) along with the Autodesk revit generated Stubs(5) and some GIT HUB Cloned Iron Python Stubs(6) and the general iron python stubs (7)(see below): STUBS PATH: C:\Users\rallen\source\repos\ironpython-stubs\release\stubs SEARCH PATHS: C:\Users\rallen\source\repos\ironpython-stubs\release\stubs\Autodesk C:\Users\rallen\source\repos\ironpython-stubs\release\stubs\DSCore C:\Users\rallen\source\repos\ironpython-stubs\release\stubs\IronPython C:\Users\rallen\source\repos\ironpython-stubs\release\stubs\Revit C:\Users\rallen\source\repos\ironpython-stubs\release\stubs\Rev
