This is much like what I want to do for my PHD- I sent a letter to these guys they are tracking the active interior aspects of the building whereas I am interested in the exterior and building envelope... 

I have been thinking about embedded sensors in materials as part of a thesis should I dare attempt to venture back to college.
 Where are you guys located? My family and I am relocating to Denver, CO next month in the hopes of finding good VDC/BIM/Revit work. I am very interested in this process of data gathering and integrating it into systems- particularly in the sensors and data collection.I was thinking that a sensor powered by a capacitor or wireless energy source that was similar to RFID but with temperature/humidity/location/flexure for inside walls to help determine areas of thermal/moisture transmittance, leakage, etc… These sensors would be about the size of a quarter or dime and powered wirelessly. More complex systems could send a data ID Ping ahead of the data and could amount to thousands or tens of thousands of sensors in a building. I would love to see more of your notes and configurations. Looks like you guys are studying the active systems of the building whereas I was thinking of evaluating the passive aspects of the building from the exterior to the core and in between. It all goes to data to collect to reintegrate in the design models for the current structure- the most astonishing thing I find about LEED accreditation and energy models- I have very little or no information on the follow up data to verify these models are accurate... much like unproved theories.  I am hoping you are in Denver, I would love the chance to meet and swap ideas.Thanks-Ron 
Hopefully they are interested in collaborating. I may need to move forward with my Masters/PHD work in Building systems/Architecture. It is one of the reasons I wanted to move to Colorado ... next question is arcitectural engineering at Boulder http://ceae.colorado.edu/ or  UC Boulder for architectural engineering http://www.colorado.edu/catalog/2012-13/content/architectural-engineering  which may be closer to what I am looking for with the specialties in "CVEN 5020 Building Energy Measurements and Audits" although it may required the underlying Architectural engineering classes to understand and pull off...

Otherwise it is working from the workbench and doing it the 99% persperative method J.

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

Revit Python in Visual Studio Revit Stubs 2022 for Python Revit Intellisense

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
