What Revit Wants
How do you keep the sun in the correct, real-universe location when dealing with shadows in Revit 3D views?
Here is how:
“
On the Status Bar (that’s the one on the bottom) click on the Sun Path icon and then select Sun Settings.
Uncheck the tick box for Relative to View.

You want to update a revision/issue title block label globally in multiple sheet views without the need to edit every single individual sheet view.
The following steps explain how to add a label to a titleblock, which can be updated globally in multiple sheet views.

Nathan Miller has been working on a number of cool things for some years now. In one recent post about Slingshot for Revit, he states “the tool will provide different means of connecting Revit (and Vasari) to relational database management systems, including MySQL. More importantly, I am interested in establishing common database schema that will allow for a more fluid workflow between Revit and external design tools like Rhino and Grasshopper. This includes sharing parameters and geometry.“
He has been “prototyping some functionality via the RevitPythonShell plug-in in Vasari. Python is giving me a more fluid workflow than the usual Revit development process. Eventually, the tools will become true add-ins…”

Go to http://apps.exchange.autodesk.com/ and click Autodesk Revit on the drop-down list. A number of free add-ins are already available.
Autodesk Exchange has been active for AutoCAD for a while now, but it looks like this will become a somewhat ‘official’ delivery method for add-ins in the future (think Autodesk Seek for add-ins…)

Pretty funny that XP is still supported… that OS has some legs!
Just in case you missed this – Autodesk has picked up the previous work of Mr Keough on Dynamo and provided a Labs plugin for Vasari!
Dynamo for Vasari
Build parametric functionality on top of Vasari with a graphical user interface. Autodesk has extended the open source effort of Ian Keough by adding some additional nodes and packaging it in an installer for Vasari to make it easier to get up and running. The download also includes some sample workflows.

Alexander Vysotsky makes the following recommendation:
CPU – i7 second-generation
Memory – 8 or 16 GB of DDR3
Video – NVidia Quadro, more accessible – GeForce (Budget)
Hard Disk Drive – solid-state, more available – WD Raptor
Screen – 1 or 2 display with a resolution FullHD (1920 x 1080), 22 inches
