Brilliant!!! I love this. Thanks for this video

In a perfect world

Great class

I worked at a place that had this system. There are some problems. Every unique note either requires a new type or an instance tag. My people all started using instance tags a lot. Sometimes they would just duplicate types. Also, the detail tags are hardcoded to align right or left, and also have a hard coded width of tag. so we had like 9 different tags to choose from in order to tag a detail component. They are also very laggy to align and situate on the sheet. Notes cannot be copied from detail to detail, so everything has to be tagged fresh and dragged around. Then when you go and transfer that detail into your project, all of those components duplicate as details do. So then when my people got to start annotating a new detail with tags, they see 25 options for tagging. Left aligned1. Leftalignedshort1. Rightaligned1. Rightaligned2. Rightaligned3. It was taking 4 times longer to draw details because of issues like this. It was a nightmare. I do like the idea of drawing a detail with 95% detail components. That makes for some great graphical consistency. I also like the idea of filters for visibilty built into the template. But for standardizing language, just get poeple to copy and paste. Then use find and replace.

Damn this guy has a great library of Dteail-materials wonder if it is posible to have or make something like that for a student and amateur like me :D

Video Time 16:00 - 092 Gypsum Bd. Section, angle is not changing. Also first in Constraint parameter the start angle and End Angle was not there. but I manage it to do so with Shared Parameter but now the angle is not changing. May something I am missing somewhere, can someone guide. Thank you

very nice

exciting

I may have missed this, but do you just hide or filter out your detail guides before printing? It seems like it would take a good amount of effort to update every view port prior to printing.

What if we need this for practice?

Getting video. Any chance of getting your Detail Guide you mentioned in the video (9:15)?

any chance to still get this detail guide? I couldnt find on Brians page.

12:56 42:00 46:25 nested detailed family component.

He talks about a handout, can I get a copy of that?

He said that once a family is shared you cannot map its parameters into another family but then he does exactly that at @47:00 by associating the parameters of the weep to that of the parent family. Thoughts anyone?

my teacher would be like : dude just use autocad : D

"type A personality"... Enfuriating self stereotyping. Very interesting presentation.

In every case Autocad with dynamic blocks is faster isn't it? It's just that revit's 3D helps with analysing. Imagine is Revit could just directly use Autocad commands and functionality. It's the same company they could work towards this. Sadly they are like Electronic arts of a company it seems all talk and cash obsessed. Still having a monopoly they perhaps don't deserve.

I hate keynoting because it makes drawings harder to read
