Keynote types

 Determine types of user keynotes - essential in model checking as 'User keynotes' should be zero to a few on any given project.


Uses FEC (Filtered element collector) to gather all keynote tags and looks at the instance parameter to determine the type.
GPT Tweak to export as list counts:
# Load the required libraries import clr clr.AddReference("RevitServices") import RevitServices from RevitServices.Persistence import DocumentManager from RevitServices.Transactions import TransactionManager clr.AddReference("RevitAPI") from Autodesk.Revit.DB import * # Access the current Revit document doc = DocumentManager.Instance.CurrentDBDocument # Define the categories for User, Element, and Material keynotes keynoteCategories = { "User": "User", "Element": "Element", "Material": "Material" } # Initialize counters for each category categoryCounts = {category: 0 for category in keynoteCategories} # Get all Keynote Tags keyNoteTags = FilteredElementCollector(doc).OfCategory(BuiltInCategory.OST_KeynoteTags).WhereElementIsNotElementType().ToElements() # Loop through Keynote Tags and categorize them for tag in keyNoteTags: keySource = tag.LookupParameter("Key Source") if keySource is not None: keySourceValue = keySource.AsValueString() for category, keyword in keynoteCategories.items(): if keyword in keySourceValue: categoryCounts[category] += 1 # Output the counts for each category OUT = categoryCounts

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.

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 ...

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.
