What Revit Wants
I have previously posted about downloading free resources from the Mastering Revit books. Here is a link to download the 2013 edition files:

Heads-up via tweet from Randy Deutsch
… will soon be available on their Facebook page, according to this post:
In the Mastering Revit books, we’ve gotten some great people to so some great chapters and essays for us in years past and we’re going to be digging those out in the next few weeks and posting them via Facebook online – free for you to read and distribute. It’ll be some seriously cool stuff, so keep your eyes peeled.
So, check Facebook …

Sybex: Mastering Autodesk Revit Architecture 2012
An interesting packaged arrived on my desk on the 5 September 2011. It contained a copy of the book Introducing Revit Architecture 2012. Right from the outset, it can be seen that this book is targeted at new or beginner Revit users:
This book is for the new user who is looking to understand the fundamentals of Revit Architecture…
However, most advanced users would still agree that they learn something new every day. This book does cover some advanced topics as well.
In the Introduction (page xviii) it is stated that the book assumes you know little or nothing about Revit Architecture.
It is nicely set out, with step-by-step guides and lots of screenshots. It also has a nice glossy color insert, with some example projects. At 682+ pages, it is a good size for a reference or even for some lunch-room reading. It might be a good idea to obtain one for your practice, particularly if you have some staff who are just beginning to delve into Revit.
Starting on page 642, there is a Tips and Tricks section that includes some very useful information, including how to prepare CAD files for import in an intelligent and controlled manner.
To find out more, or to purchase, go to:
Main Sybex page : Introducing Autodesk Revit Architecture 2012 – Book Information – Sybex
As mentioned before, the download resources for this book are located at this link.

“a Revit expert is one who doesn’t use locks”

What do you think, Revit Masters? Should we lock:
A. everything
B. nothing
C. some things
D. depends on the project and situation
???
View crop boundary has been selected, but Rotate icon is grayed out.
What is the only cause for this issue?
(If you can think of more than one reason, you must truly be a master…)
If you have a Central project file that is 450 MB in size, how much RAM does your system need?
For the answer, have a look at page 6 of this Model Performance document.
