This looks darn handy. It's a Revit 2013 add-on utility that arranges your viewports in Revit. You may already now some of the keyboard shortcuts like WT for window tile, ZA for zoom all, and Ctrl-Tab for switching between open windows, but this utility gives you even more handy flexibility in arranging windows. It's called Palladio X and it's free, thanks to the folks at Mensch und Maschine Software SE. I like the classic architectural reference...

Earlier this month Tobias Ebbinge from Picard Innovations reached out to me to introduce his company and software called Yuzu. You may have seen Steve Stafford’s post on this at Revit OpEd. Like Steve, I saw a similar technology at AU last year called PKNail.

What Revit Wants: Repurposing the Autodesk USB Media If you happen to have a 16Gb or 32Gb 2012 Autodesk Design Suite USB thumb drive gathering dust in a drawer, I repurposed one (after backing up the data) by using the following tool … after reading Luke’s handy post and a handful of the comments: Formatter.zip It’s a simple tool with one button. I make no guarantees or warranties but it worked for me. Cheers...

Project Vasari's upcoming 2.5 release has some great new features. Great new push-pull capabilities in modeling, getting closer to sketchup capability. Select a vertical face, and press the space bar to show the alternate gizmo that allow perpendicular extrusion where before you'd only be able to stretch the model out. We also now have the capability of editing/modeling in perspective views with 99% of the functionality of the ISO 3D view. This has...

I am in the middle of reorganizing my home office and was in the need for some Swedish furnishings for my Revit model. I came across this site which has some decent Euro pieces, including Ikea.
