Brad Hartnagle has posted a 'how to' on his Blog Green Revit for exporting Revit information to Green Building Studio. Green Building Studio will give you some great preliminary energy analysis numbers, all for registering on their website. This just happens to be the same process you would use to export heating and cooling information to Trace 700.

The training in our DC office for E-Specs went very well yesterday! The team was very impressed by the in person training provided by the company. The CIO came down to do the training, by all reports, he and his team back at the company are very talented Revit users as well as spec writers. The general feeling by the team is that E-Specs is another tool that helps eliminate some of the mundane tasks that go with documenting a building, giving us more time to focus on design.

Nothing major to annouce. Our DC office did training with E-Specs today & Revit. I'm looking forward to hearing an update from them tomorrow about how it all went. Based on intial reaction it sounds like it was a productive day. I will post some information about the general reaction and results as it comes in. Our DC office is also planning on doing a targeted cost estimation exercise with an independent cost estimator based on Revit quantities.

YEAH! Revit 9 is released, we can all jump for joy! New features, more improvements, better performance! Right, that was your reaction wasn't it? You know it was, it was mine too, still is.

That Revit file has been through alot you know, started in version 7, upgraded to 8.1, now CA is moving along nicely, the uprgade to 8 was a little sketchy, do I really wan

One of the big draws of transitioning to a BIM oriented software like Revit Systems is benefiting from shared information. I can’t think of a more direct hit than being able to extract my specifications from my drawing model. That is exactly what InterSpec has developed in their e-SPECS software. Check out InterSpec’s web site for more information or this article in Cadalyst.

Some CAD programs make it easy to insert special characters like ° or ±. I know Autocad has special key strokes for some commonly used special characters. With Revit you have to take a few extra steps to get special chacaters into Revit text (unless of course you want memorize many complex keycodes). The other advantage of this method is you have access to a pretty large variety of special characters like, ¼, ½, ¾.
