Revit to Infraworks Highlights

Revit import to Infraworks
  • Navis 3D View in Revit: https://youtu.be/Y-vdLl5NREo?t=957
  • Revit Materials: 3D view for exporting standard textures (Customized textures don't export in this tutorial): https://youtu.be/Y-vdLl5NREo?t=1912   
  • Navisworks to manage export settings to translate Revit files: https://youtu.be/Y-vdLl5NREo?t=2028
  • Alternates FBX and Colada (Maintaining rotation and location) https://youtu.be/Y-vdLl5NREo?t=2091  revit not on roadmap!? FBCX or IFC acceptable.
  • Lat Long in Infraworks Point Of Interest POI: https://youtu.be/Y-vdLl5NREo?t=2151
  • Script for exporting POI Lat Long from infraworks: https://youtu.be/Y-vdLl5NREo?t=2223 
  • FBX (No basepoints user origin point) https://youtu.be/Y-vdLl5NREo?t=2328
  • Transmuting coordinates in Revit to Infraworks for FBX https://youtu.be/Y-vdLl5NREo?t=2627
  • 'Does Infraworks use NWC files'? https://youtu.be/Y-vdLl5NREo?t=2748 From Revit you wouldn't use an NWC, RVT file best, FBX is second is then IFC (Which looses all textures and a muted/decimated file). Infraworks doesn't really use an NWC- Navis just converts it to an InfraWorks format (SQL?) It does create a copy NWC file but doesn't actually open or use it.
  • Import options in Infraworks: https://youtu.be/Y-vdLl5NREo?t=2840 Enable navis work conversion (Otherwise pushes to cloud to convert and takes more time)
  • Import FHBX : https://youtu.be/Y-vdLl5NREo?t=2868  Could use script to create XML file of share coordinate at origin point and use that to transpose in the Infraworks file. Requires the shared coordinates correctly located in the context to acquire the lat/long correctly to push to infraworks. (Scripting / dynamo export assist) positive negative may be an issue on import

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...
