Check out eTransmit for Revit, in the Labs now. A much appreciated tool provided by our friends at Autodesk. It's described as follows: Copy and detach a Revit model and associated files to a single folder for internet transmission. This removes the typical error messages when you copy central files using the operating system.

Check out Project Neon for Revit 2012.http://neon.labs.autodesk.com/index.aspxDavid Light -has a great post on this.Natasha Luthra in my office ran a few images using our In house projects and the results were impressive. Other than a slight lag in accessing the server (apparently they are slammed with requests) the rendering itself took only a few minutes and even allowed her to add a few environment maps after the image was rendered. Best...

Handy tool to identify good keyboard shortcuts 4u
Posted on 13:33 by Unknown

It's a tad difficult to associate the commands to the keyboard shortcuts but you'll get the hang of it. Cheers,Craig Barbi...
