What Revit Wants
Steve Stafford and Aaron Maller are both awesome Revit guys. Both of them have a Screencast library of videos that you can freely view. Here are the links:
You can also subscribe to an RSS feed of Steve’s Screencast videos.
Do you have a set of Revit-related videos in a library that you would like to share with us? Please leave a comment with a link…
While discussing an interesting baluster-with-lighting family, Steve reminds us that “Revit hates switching between shared and not shared status.”
You have to follow a strict process of deleting and / or renaming affected families that exist in the project if you wish to switch them from Shared to non-Shared, or vice-versa.

There is a great document on Revit Roles in a practice, and a cool example of how to handle non-perpendicular Grid Display. You can also find a Door Family tutorial handout from AU.
Thanks to Steve Stafford for these awesome tips.
