There is a difference between BIM and automation. Using Revit for BIM isn’t automatic – you need skills, time and effort to make it work.
Certain Revit add-ins fill a real need to make that leap between ‘hard work BIM’ and ‘automated BIM’. SAuBIM – Code Calcs is a proven tool for automating compliance checks related to room areas. It has been updated to version 2.0, and is working with 2013 and 2014.
Oh, and did I mention that Harry Mattison has been involved in the process – you won’t be disappointed!
As Jeff says:
Simply click “Update Tags” and you have calculated data semi-automatically updated into your room tag!
You can get hold of Code Calcs for Revit 2013 and 2014 by using this link.
If you haven’t heard of it before, it automatically creates schedules for:
Interesting – this kind of turns the point cloud technology upside down… It goes something like this:

Dunn Edwards have provided an adsklib file for download that matches their paint colours to Revit materials.
I previously posted about Lysaght adsklib way back in 2011:
What Revit Wants: Lysaght Bluescope Colorbond Autodesk Material Library
I look forward to the day when all manufacturer materials come in adsklib format – would save us all some work 🙂
Here are the Dunn Edwards links:

Ever noticed how the Graphic Surface Pattern of a Material will override a Walls surface in a Realistic (ie. materiality / render check) view, but not the edges?
Firstly, I don’t think Graphics values should affect Realistic view at all. Secondly, it should at least be consistent: either override wall faces and edges, or don’t override at all, yeah?
Anyone know if this was fixed in 2014?
I thought I got in a loop today:
You have to press Close for every selected row (could be hundreds) – quickest way is to hold down the Enter key until the warning goes away.
Ever pressed Cancel or No when prompted to save an Excel spreadsheet? Lost your work? How about this backup task… it basically copies Excel backup files to another location so that Excel can’t delete them when it closes.
