I just waited until the last event was concluded (and I needed a little time to update the documents a bit).and here they are.ĭescription: There are over 30 ways to lose something you’re sure was just there. It has been my intention all along to post the files associated with both of my sessions here so people can check them out. It was a good mix this year as it has been for each of the previous years. That gave each BIM Workshop a broad reach while drawing on local talent too. Each location also featured a selection of local/regional people who were chosen after being invited to send in their session ideas. This meant each of us agreed to give presentations at two or more of the events. This year the following people were designated with a national speaker role Andy Jizba, Bill Debevc, Brandon Pike, Brian Mackey, Carla Edwards, Chris Faklaris, Chris Keck, David Magid, Eric Chappell, Kelli Lubeley, Lonnie Cumpton, Paul Aubin, Robert Bell, Me, Steven Shell and Tom Whitehead. Phoenix and Honolulu were both a single day of sessions while Omaha and Anaheim were two days of sessions. CAD's help they expanded the event to two cities Omaha and Anaheim.and that brings us to this year, the event's fourth. CAD, an Autodesk reseller based in California. I was happy to be able to speak at her first event too, and each of them since then.Ī year later, after wrapping up the second event, she made a big life decision moved to California and joined U.S. She found that there were many people eager to help her make it happen as well as sponsors willing to support it.

She told me that she was inspired and determined to bring that feeling home to where she worked and to provide that kind of experience to others but with a local focus, the region near Omaha. She attended the first Revit Technology Conference in North America hosted in Huntington Beach, CA in 2011. It's founder, Carla Edwards, lived and worked in Omaha at the time. However for its first two years it was called Central States Revit Workshop. Indulging in a little historical review, the Omaha event is four years old now. If you have Autodesk Application Manager installed, and if you'd like to see if it will let you acquire the updates, you can try a right-click on the icon in the system tray and choose Check Now. Revit 2015 Update Release 11 - Release Notes It did seem that users could avoid it (the background processing error) if they were careful to save their project, close Revit and restart it before attempting to print those views. Hopefully this update does resolve the issue they were having. Those seemed related to printing views that have a color fill applied but maybe that's a minor difference from the code's perspective. That doesn't sound like the issue I read about specifically. In the release notes they reference color fills when closing a document that uses them. Autodesk acknowledged the issue and they've just issued an update for called Revit 2016 R2 Update 1, and there is an Update Release 11 available now for Revit 2015. I was reading recently (in a couple forums) about a problem with background processing and views using Color Fills.

When everything is assigned correctly you can see this family tree in the System Browser. This relationship continues up through the grandparents, great grandparents etc. For example, you start with a receptacle and create a power circuit (system), then choose the Daddy, the electrical panel it gets power from. The other day we were chatting about this in class and I blurted out "You know, like who's your Daddy?" I was kidding but one of the guys said that it will actually help him remember to start with the "child" part of the relationship. It could be with conduit or cable tray but no such relationship exists yet. In contrast the physical relationship is described with duct/pipe but there is no equal for electrical systems. Revit MEP elements, like electrical panels and receptacles or HVAC equipment and diffusers, have a Parent - Child relationship. I emphasize this concept in every session I do that is focused on Revit MEP and I think it's worth stating again. This is an echo of a post from October 2011.
