Martí Broquetas list of BIM standards has been updated:
He “turned the list into a table that can be sorted clicking on the headers. THis way it is easy to sort the standards by country,or date or name, etc. “

Also, syou may or may not be aware that before OpenRevitStandards got shut down, I copied the List of Revit content page. You can find it here:

Revit 2014 was just released and an updated version of Andersen’s Window Studio is being tested right now. Release date is expected in 7 – 10 days, but a pre-release version has been made available for current Revit 2014 users. This is a 64 bit version of Window Studio 12.1 that has been recompiled using the Revit 2014 API. Please report any issues you might run into (it is still undergoing testing). I’ll remove this link when an official version is offered on andersenwindows.com..
Pre release of Window Studio 13.0 for Revit 2014
There are many new features exp>ected in the 13.1 release scheduled for late summer. One of those features will be the inclusion of exterior trim as designed in Window Studio. For the intervening months, the following advice might help anyone trying to create their own trim and group it with an Andersen Window. Hopefully, this workaround will only be needed for a short time.
Since I last posted my last comment about trim, I was sent a generic trim .rfa file I’ve been using. I was able to place the trim family on my host wall and change the parameters to “almost” match the native Andersen trim. The model I was sent does not have any cornice, drip cap, or brick mould so those features would have to be added using the family editor. I wish I knew the original creator of this trim file so I could give him/her credit, but I’m afraid I did not obtain that info.
Here’s the file. I took the RO measurements of the Andersen window to set the height and width parameters for this generic trim. One limitation is that this works for single units only (without editing). The authentic Andersen trim will render horizontals and verticals for an entire design with no editing needed. Space between mulled units will either show a 3.5 or 4.5 board or the connecting strip for frame-to-frame joins.

Today I received a shiny chrome 4gb USB key from CSR containing their Gyprock Revit files (currently, 48 RVT files with a single wall type contained in each).
I had followed the instructions at this link:
Gyprock : The Gyprock™ Revit Family
You could also download this PDF form (click the link then File – Download), fill it out and email to designlink@csr.com.au
I recently downloaded the Revit (railing) files from Moddex Systems. If you want to access them, go to the following page and follow the links to register:
Moddex – CAD Support
(you can also go direct to this registration page)
These files do not yet take advantage of some of the advances made in Revit 2013, that I posted about last week. However, Moddex are “looking into fast tracking the upgrade”.
I also recently downloaded the free Railing families from BIMstore. Again, these are not upgraded for 2013.
Don’t forget to check out the online ‘master list’ of Revit content at Links to Revit Content online. If something is missing, please register and add it to the page.
A while ago, I posted some in-place and component Stairs and Railings.
If you have any particularly great Railing families that you would like to share, feel free to reply using the comments!
While familit do have a browser / content manager add-in, this is a paid product (if you are looking for free family browser, check out tools4revit). However, the family content itself at familit is free:
At the moment familit.com offers 18.000 free families in English, German and French language.
You don’t even need to register. Just go to the following link and start downloading:

Nice post by Ben Malone over at BIMopedia. He shows you how to install, activate, and use the free Tools4Revit family browser. I like the fact that I can add my single local network-located Families folder and it will go ahead and index the families for me…
My PC has been busy upgrading and indexing over 5000 files to add to the Browser, so it will be interesting to see how well it performs. I have had to do some minor babysitting to clear some warnings / dialogs and let the process continue…

This is an example of an family with an array that kinda mimics a curtain that opens and closes.
http://revitlog.nl/images/stories/families/82_meubels/82_gordijn.rfa
However – it is also a good example of what happens if you don’t create a fix for when an array drops to only one item. You need to formulaically stop this from happening, by doing something like this:
Applied Array=if(Calculated Array>1,Calculated Array,2)
(where Applied Array is the parameter applied to the physical array in the family, and Calculated Array is the number that is formulaically derived)
