fully integrated Revit BIM system from SD to contract to CD and CA.

Most of my career I have dreamed, been mapping and working on a fully integrated system that starts with check-box contract integration and maps that information into deliverable milestones, folder structures, and time sheets so that everything works cohesively. I have years of flow charts, mind maps tie together for a substantial organizational structure that has many built in cross checks based on my experiences and those who shared their experiences..

I Believe I have an effective solution to the data management and production aspect.

Next is integration with a database system and linkage to 'typical' contractual segments which are joined and linked into the deliverable portion of the database. That legal base would require corporate legal to spell out the sections of contracts for each discipline for a given project; these sections can then be cross checked for conflicts or required extensions for more effective billing and estimation.The project is then pull-planned mapping each BIM deliverable paralleling physical construction. 'Plan the build then build the plan' is a great Mantra for this and when everyone on the design/build team is on board- I believe a near-zero change order can be achieved- just need to learn database integration : ).

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...
