Elon Musk's StarLink internet

Elon musk is brilliant... Like $50Billion a year while providing true global access to information brilliant! The 2,600 small satellite StarLink constellation being deployed 350 miles up will cross cross in the vacuum of space and use frickin lasers to communicate data around the globe. Because they are in a vacuum they transmit about 2.5x faster than fiber optic that is slowed by the glass that carries the signals... And the cross cross orbits and 3tierd 3 orbit level approach for later launches will provide near global access and coverage.. cheers mate, Mind BLOWN! https://lnkd.in/ eTme9Zy

Revit CSV file manager for families and re-exporting to a CSV file

Process: Export a Revit library file - maintains the same name as the family (This is critical) Create an EXCEL file same-name XLSM macro enabled Create a Worksheet "EXPORT" Create other tabs to build data sheets Create a sheet and use DATA LINK to bring in the exported library Copy the important 1st row IDs for the Variable names and types over. All of them are not necessary - only the ones with data Library export ONLY exports parameters that have data in them somewhere Order doesn't matter. Paste the code below into a module Run it to export the "EXPORT" tab Excel saves-as the [excel filename.TXT] Excel saves as the [excel filename.XMSM] Refresh the data source for updates SAVE OFTEN! Version 2.0- The Textfile in VBA has issues - keeps trying to write in Unicode and Kanji instead of basic ASCII. Also Revit format for families is noting in cell 1,1 and all Line Feeds (Not CRLFS or CRs ) at the end of lines. Attribute VB_Nam
