Someone please remind me to create a quick show-me with a Revit model and Unity Player. I found some cool texture-baking tools that would allow lighting to be baked into a model, which means anyone could login over the web and connect to a model we have and walk through it… realistic materials, rendering, etc… with very limited capabilities. This is a jumping-off point for augmented reality as well (the cool glasses you put on that overlay a virtual image in the real world… Imagine seeing a house on a lot, when the house hasn't even begun being built yet…) http://www.texturebaking.com/ http://www.stadia3d.com/index.html

OK - this very basic routine sets billing information fields of all selected messages...  If the BillInfo variable to a form that pulls the local user's project's lists and lookups up the senders project list and compares, shazam! you can start auto-tagging potential emails with project/billing information. _____________________________________________ Sub Set_ACTIVE_MESSAGES_BillingInformation () Dim objsel As Selection Dim i As Integer BillInfo = UCase(InputBox( "" , "Enter default billing INFO" , "00000.000" )) Set objsel = Outlook.ActiveExplorer.Selection On Error Resume Next For i = 1 To objsel.Count Set Object = objsel.Item(i) Select Case Object .Class Case olReport, olMail, olContact ''these all behave the same way Object .BillingInformation = BillInfo Object .Save ''case ...

I Pinged Scott Sheppard about DWFs on the on the Autodesk Forum yesterday . DWF is on legacy life support- Why can't Autodesk commit to ending it and moving on? No telling what bugs will pop up with the windows 10 updates going as they have been. Surprising with their migration to ABC for subscription users they haven't removed it from the lineup to push people to the cloud- maybe in the next 3-6 months they will pull it to gain more traction for the cloud, but I suspect Bluebeam is too much of a competitor so maybe they'll just let it continue to let it atrophy. Autodesk Design Review continues to be part of our desktop offerings. There are  no plans to remove the download . Unless there is some unforeseen operating system change that necessitates updating Design Review, there are  no plans to update it.  As has been mentioned in this thread, our focus is on the cloud where there can be a single source of truth (reduce the number of separate files), the ability to appl...
