It’s been a while since we’ve posted on our blog, and we wanted to fill you in on what we’ve been up to. Some of you may have seen us at RTC Europe last October, which Jose helped organize as a member of the conference committee. Or you may have seen our booth at Autodesk University in December, where we unveiled our new content management service, Kinship, which has been keeping us very busy (much more on that in future posts).
Renaming Workset1 in Revit Projects
When you enable Worksharing and turn on worksets in a Revit project, Revit offers you two worksets by default – “Shared Levels and Grids” and “Workset1”. Anyone who has managed a Revit project with Worksharing should be familiar with the image seen below.
A Year (and a half) in Review
One of my New Year’s resolutions has been to get back to blogging. I thought I’d begin making good on that resolution by looking back at what’s kept me away from writing since my last post.
Parallel Revits
One day I’m working with a family in Revit 2013, and the next I’m time traveling back to Revit 2012. Then the weekend comes, and with it the release of Revit 2014 – the speed, the bliss! Up next is Monday, which calls for a family in Revit 2011. I need a type catalog quickly, and try exporting it right from the family editor. But wait! That couldn’t be done in 2011. So I quickly jump to 2013, open the 2011 family and export its parameters as a type catalog, go back into 2011 and carry on working, now with the type catalog created in 2013. See, type catalogs can travel through time!
