Links provide access to the websites for each provider, which belong to any one of these categories: Content Exchange, Consolidator, Content Building, Content Store or Manufacturer. In this way the site is a much more elegant delivery of the kind of information my own Revit Inside blog has been doing for companies that use Revit.

Welcome to Steve Staffords Blog ~ Revit OpEd = OPinion EDitorial ~ My view of things Revit, both real and imagined. Initially we could only use them in the massing category. As soon as they opened them up to more categories it made it more palatable to consider them for this purpose. Blog Listing - Revit Focus.

The Schedule/Quantities type produces a schedule of a selected family category. The image below shows a list schedules for differing family categories in the Alvine template. Select the appropriate family category to schedule by clicking on it. Only one category can be selected at a time. This opens the New Schedule.

Alas the number of categories that ACs can be in is rather limited, mostly out of concern of potentially "breaking" the software. MEP as expected continues to see a great deal of development, but at this point Im just not enough of an engineer to appreciate the improvements.

Welcome to Steve Staffords Blog ~ Revit OpEd = OPinion EDitorial ~ My view of things Revit, both real and imagined. The opening families are still assigned to the category Generic Model. That was done purposely so they dont show up in door or window category schedules. Blog Listing - Revit Focus. Revit OpEd. at 4:07 PM.

That written I decided to compile my own review of the new features and enhancements in a blog post. In my RTC sessions I've repackaged the new stuff into my own three categories of Stuff; Big Stuff, Other Stuff and Subtle Stuff. MEP users will see that they are doing the same thing with Duct. Okay, on to the list!

Welcome to Steve Staffords Blog ~ Revit OpEd = OPinion EDitorial ~ My view of things Revit, both real and imagined. Good timing on this blog entry. We are a 400-person MEP engineering firm, and we ordinarily haven't the time, money, or, frankly, the need to fully paramaterize the families that we create. Revit OpEd.
