Carbine super tough material

Triple strength myomers anyone?

" a chain of carbon atoms linked by alternative triple and single bonds or by consecutive double bonds. They have calculated and written down Carbyne’s physical and chemical properties – mechanical response to tension, bending, torsion deformations and atomic structure. The research show that, in order to break a single atomic chain within the material’s molecular structure, a force of approximately 10 nN (nanonewtons)- a strength which surpasses that of any other known material. It’s torsional stiffness can be zero but can be ‘switched on’ by appropriate functional groups at the ends, according to the paper."

Revit area plans adding new types and references (Gross and rentable)

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.

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 2019 and up tab colorizer

PYRevit works to tip the tabs tops with a color but not the whole tab so it is not as obvious as I would like but definitely better than nothing! Py revit version is free and available here: https://github.com/eirannejad/pyRevit/releases/tag/v4.7.6 Parallax has an independent Addin as well: $75 Seat or $1500/site license annual. https://www.parallaxteam.com/tabbed-views/ There may be some customization in the API available hereabouts : ) https://thebuildingcoder.typepad.com/blog/2011/02/pimp-my-autocad-or-revit-ribbon.html
