Whenever a pipe fitting does not display the correct proportional (connector sizes are indicating the correct diameter, just not the graphical appearance) size it is because the LookupTable file for that family isn't found (or possibly the K-Factor database is corrupt for ducts). I mention the K-Factor issue because it may also be an issue of user access permission.

One of our projects is for a new two-story addition and remodel to a home damaged by fire last year in the Lakes Region of New Hampshire. Thankfully the fire was contained and only one wing was lost. Our architects are working directly with our clients to design the addition to closely match the existing house while taking advantage of the opportunity to make updates to the floor plan.

East Coast CAD has had Fabrication for AutoCAD MEP software for years, but it added MEP Fabrication Version 1.0 for AutoCAD Revit MEP 2011 on November 30th. The heat is on and the excuses should be over for prefabrication of duct on jobs that are being completed in Revit MEP products. See East Coast CAD announcement here.

I mentioned in an earlier post that Autodesk was poised to release Project Galileo. If you recall the project they were working on in the past called Newport, this project is Newport rolled up into a new one combined with some other technology they've been developing. They posted the video I embedded in the previous post to whet your appetite. If it did make you hungry you can taste it now.

Wednesday, December 08, 2010. Upgrading Autodesk License Server. Ive been with the same firm for 12 years. Back in the day we didnt have a license server. We installed our first one when Autodesk made us pick stand alone or license. That was about 10 ears ago. So that same server has been chugging along for 10 years and I got a little nervous about its life expectancy.

As I say in the video below I may have been asleep at the wheel but I noticed this week that Revit is shuffling parameters around "differently". I put quotes around that word because I can't recall when this started to happen. I'm partially afraid that it's been doing it a long time which means I've been Rip Van Winkle. In the video you'll see that I started with a Generic Model family template, open Family Types and type a value into the Model parameter in the Identity Data group.

Every now and again, we have a client contact us because one of their customers made a complaint with the Better Business Bureau, and they need it cleared up. It’s a big dispute, they explain to us, and they don’t want a negative mark with the BBB. A complaint with the Better Business Bureau is a strange predicament. To avoid a negative mark with the BBB, all a contractor is really required to do is respond to the complaint.

Erik Egbertson just posted a message at the Autodesk Blog: Inside the Factory. He discusses the new Properties Palette and the relationship that users have with it and providing initial values for content as they attempt to place and use them (families). You should read it if you use any version of Revit but it is probably most significant if you use Revit MEP.

I realized last week that I've got over a thousand posts on this blog now since I started it at the end of 2004. Over these past years I've created a fair number of links to other sites. Seems like a good idea because I can just point readers to another spot easily. That is until that site either changes something, the information just goes away.or in the case of AUGI the forums, the domain name service (DNS) isn't pointing at the same server anymore.
