Blog postA reader pointed out a small typo to me today. On page 285 of The Aubin Academy: Revit Architecture, 2016 and beyond I mixed up “checked” and “unchecked.” Well, this is a small typo, but unfortunately makes the passage quite confusing. Because the difference between checked or unchecked in this context is pretty major. So here is the correction:
My apologies for the error and any confusion it may have caused. And thank you to Anna for pointing it out to me!

Blog postAn often overlooked feature in the Autodesk design suites is the ability to save materials in an external library file. Autodesk material library files have an ADSKLIB extension and can be stored anywhere on your machine or network server. They are easy to create directly in Autodesk authoring applications like Revit, AutoCAD and 3ds Max. Once you have an ADSKLIB file, you can share it with other members of your project team to ensure a consistent palette of materials throughout the project o

Blog postSometimes setting up your sheets in a Revit project can be a real chore. Do you know which views are already on sheets somewhere in your set? Is your sheets browser branch organized in the best way to display and locate the sheets you need? Are your viewport titles located where and how you like them? Addressing these issues is simpler than you think.
Is my view on a sheet? Let’s start with the views in your browser. How do you know if they are already on a sheet somewhere in the set? -
Blog postI have been creating a lot of Revit Family Content lately. I just discovered an odd little item. Not sure there is a practical application, but I thought I would post it here anyhow. So when you want to label a dimension, (to apply a parameter) you have to make sure that the dimension only has two witness lines – in other words, a single dimension, not a multiple string. Well, that is the standard conventional wisdom. Turns out you can label a multi-segment dimension… but again, I am not sure

Blog postHave you heard about Project Soane? Project Soane is a Worldwide effort to recreate Sir John Soane’s lost work at the Bank of England in London. Back in the early 1800’s Sir John Soane was the Architect for the Bank of England and created many of his most famous and respected works there.
Sadly however, much of his work has been lost to future renovations at the bank. However, a vast archive of Soane’s original drawings survive at the John Soane Museum. Project Soane is an effort -
Blog postI just discovered a new and unwelcome “feature” of Revit. I thought is was 2016. Because I had not noticed it till now. But apparently this little item snuck in all the back in Revit 2014! How did I not notice before. Well, regardless, here are the details:
In previous releases (2013 and prior to be specific), if you have a schedule that itemizes all instances (ungrouped), when you edit a type property, you would receive an alert that the change would apply to all instances. You would -
Blog postA reader recently asked:
“I have been eyeing your book Renaissance Revit. With the release of Revit 2016, is there anything in this release that makes the current version of your book out of date?”
I thought this was a terrific question. So here is the answer. There is nothing in Revit 2015 or 2016 that invalidates anything I have written in the book. However, there are a couple new features in the family editor that would have been “nice to have”.
