Free Fire Rating Macro for Revit 2014

April 28, 2014May 7, 2017 Luke Johnson

Paolo has written a nice little macro that basically examines the Type parameters of a wall and then draws a Detail Line at the centreline of the wall – the Line Style is driven by the Parameter. The obvious use is for Fire Rating – you make a couple of Line Styles for different ratings, set the Fire Rating parameters on the wall, run this macro and then you have an instant fire rating plan.

To update a view, it seems that if you run it with nothing selected, it will ‘clear’ the previously created Detail Lines. Then, select the walls and run the macro – the Detail Lines are recreated according to the current parameter value.

Quickly Translate Revit project data into another language

April 26, 2014May 7, 2017 Luke Johnson

Here is an interesting idea from Daniel Monsén: in the video below, he describes using bimframe connect (which I previously posted about a couple of times, including here) to translate data for a Revit project.

In simple steps:

Export a given schedule (such as rooms) using bimframe connect addin to Google Sheets
Use the googletranslate formula to translate the data from the source to a given target language
Copy the translated over the top of the original source data
Import the translated data back into Revit using bimframe connect

The one comment I would make in addition to the video embedded below – if you want to quickly apply a formula to an entire column worth of data in Google Sheets, you should definitely use ARRAYFORMULA. If you put an array formula in the top row of a given column, it will apply itself to every cell in that column. For example:
=ArrayFormula( GoogleTranslate( B2:B ; “en” ; “nl” ) )

EDIT Harry said that the latest version is the one on Autodesk Exchange Apps

I previously posted about the ADN file upgrader here. Since then Harry has created a more powerful upgrader for Revit 2014 available on Exchange, and he has also released a 2015 version which is not on Exchange yet – see his post with direct download link below.

If you are ready to upgrade files to Revit 2015, here is a 2015 File Upgrader installer.

Mapping SHX to TrueType Fonts for use in Revit

April 26, 2014May 7, 2017 Luke Johnson

To map fonts, edit shxfontmap.txt using a text editor. This file resides in the following location: %APPDATA%AutodeskRevit

For each TrueType font to map, add a line with the following format:

filename.shxFontname

where:

filename.shx is the name of the AutoCAD SHX font to map from
is the TAB key on the keyboard
Fontname is the font to be mapped to

Save and close the file.

You do not need to restart Revit for the font mapping to take effect.
