Somewhat of a milestone for What Revit Wants – 1,000,000 pageviews were reached over the weekend.

Something you might have noticed about What Revit Wants is that there is no ad banner and no Donate button. However, I really do enjoy hearing and responding to your comments – so if you have something to say, please feel free to use the comments box below every post.

Here’s a thought to start your Monday with:
A license of Revit is just like a ticket on a plane. You have to use it to get anywhere. The final destination?

Autodesk vs M-SIX VEO – It has begun

September 19, 2012May 7, 2017 Luke Johnson

The inevitable clash between Autodesk and M-SIX is beginning to surface on Twitter. Let’s have a look at a few recent ‘conversations’:

Firstly, we now measure the success of BIM in degrees:

I could get use to this #bim360
— Rebecca De Cicco (@becdecicco) September 18, 2012

@becdecicco what only doing 270 degrees? That would mean #BIM would never get finished!
— David Light (@davewlight) September 18, 2012

@davewlight it will always get finished!
— Rebecca De Cicco (@becdecicco) September 18, 2012

@becdecicco ahhhh so you are suggesting it will never get started then? Assuming we are missing 90 degees?
— David Light (@davewlight) September 18, 2012

@becdecicco @davewlight if #BIM is 360, it never finishes, just keeps looping… Design > Construct > Manage > Design … #endlessloop 😀
— Elrond Burrell (@ElrondBurrell) September 18, 2012

In comes Autodesk:

Having a good play with #BIM360 this morning @ #AutodeskEMEA. Exciting stuff, #BIM in the cloud is going to be fun. #GameChanger
— Paul Markovits (@paul_markovits) September 18, 2012

Wanna know a #gamechanger? Then take a look at #Newforma and #veo integration. That’s a #gamechanger
— David Light (@davewlight) September 18, 2012

@elrondburrell @davewlight What do think is missing Dave? Interested to know
— Paul Markovits (@paul_markovits) September 19, 2012

@paul_markovits @elrondburrell about 90 degrees 🙂 Great tools with value, BUT no end to end connectd workflow, square peg in a round hole.

And on and on it goes…

Linking Specifications to Revit – Especs or NBS or ??

March 2, 2012 Luke Johnson

Interesting conversation on Twitter recently – basically Especs and NBS were mentioned as possible methods of linking specifications to Revit. What method do you use?

Matt Fox ‏ @Matt_J_Fox

Looking into #BIM and #Revit to see how specifications can be directly linked. Via key noting possibly? Anyone had any experiences to date?

28 Feb Steve Deadman ‏ @SteveDeadman

@Matt_J_Fox @MarkSchuey You can link you NBS Spec to Revit keynotes using this thenbs.com/support/softwa…

28 Feb Benjamin Malone ‏ @BenjaminPMalone

@SteveDeadman @Matt_J_Fox @MarkSchuey Don’t have any experience with it myself, but this looks promising: e-specs.com/especs-revit.h… not free tho!

Did you struggle with the word 'family' to begin with? I did…

February 1, 2012 Luke Johnson

And so did @ncollective:

The only thing is that I wish #Revit would call “Family” something else. I freak out whenever I hear “let’s make a new Family”. @Autodesk

January 10, 2012May 8, 2017 Luke Johnson

An interesting discussion is starting on Twitter in relation to key principles or rules when using BIM and particularly Revit. Check it out:
BIMandments

This word is a mashup of ‘commandments’ and BIM (obviously). Feel free to add your thoughts by adding #BIMandments to your tweets.
