There's a lot to read but we feel it'll be well worth it!!!Do you need BIM & Revit Help for a Project or Family or Workflow? If so, this will be the meeting for you!!!
· Does BIM make your head spin?
· Do you have a Revit Question or Headache…?
· Do you have Revit Family &/or Project that has Issues…?
· Do you want to know the best way to do something (in Revit preferrably)?
· Do you think Wide Format Color Printing costs too much for CD sets?
Well, to get these & other questions answered you have three things to do:
1) Come to the October LARUG meeting
2) Send files to get Revit help
3) Send files to Print
Presentations
First off:
Océ will give a brief (15 minute or so) highlight of new printing technology that dramatically reduces the costs of color printing and opens it up to BIM CD use cases; it prints on any media, even Tyvek for nearly indestructible prints!!!
Then LARUG is at it:
This will be an unprecedented meeting, where you will be able to get sage advice (and real working solutions to your questions & on your files!!!), from some of the most qualified AEC Reviteurs & BIM Authorities with Revit for Architecture, MEP, Structural Engineering or Construction.

File Pre-requisites
PLEASE FOLLOW THESE GUIDELINES SO WE CAN MANAGE THE FILES & GET YOU WHAT YOU NEED J.
1) Detach any Central Files!!!
2) Use the following naming convention for all files sent:
· Use your own full name in “modified sentence case”, followed by an Underscore, then the Item’s name in “Modified Sentence Case”, per the examples below… For the question files add the word “Question” at the end; for files to be printed put “Print” at the end.
File Name Examples
File to have printed: Your Name _ Rendering_ Print.pdf
Revit Family File: Your Name_ Awesome Table.rfa

Sending Your Files to have Printed by Oce:
1) Send or Bring files to have Océ print them on the new Océ Colorwave Wide Format Color Printer (at no cost to you)
a. Copy your files (named per examples above) to the following Océ FTP site, with “Windows Explorer” only.
1) Start “Windows Explorer” -basically open any window, (DO NOT use any web browsers as they will NOT work properly, or at all)

a. If you are not prompted with a login window then Click on
b. On the login box enter the following (hit F5 if you did not see the login screen)

c. To get Revit file help you can bring them on a USB drive but those will be more difficult to deal with… so please send files if at all possible J
d. If you only have a Revit Question then you could send it as an email to the following email addresses: larug.president@gmail.com j.b.z.wmail@gmail.com Or even add a “comment” to your Evite response, but again, we’d prefer to get the questions sent in.
There you have it: you can get your questions answered, project issues solved (if possible J) and get some free prints… Not a bad evening, if you ask us; so we hope to see you there!!!
Day & Date
October 2011 Los Angeles Revit Users Group Meeting
Wednesday, October 19th, 2011
6:00 pm to 8:30 pm
At: Océ
1055 West 7th Street, 1st floor
Los Angeles, CA 90017
Did we mention that Océ will be providing awesome food??? We requested BBQ!!!
No beer allowed in the building but perhaps we’ll go out afterwords to bask in the warmth of both giving & receiving Revit help.
Parking
Parking in the building is available & free of charge, again, thanks to Océ
· Park in the building’s lot, hold onto your ticket, go thru the main floor lobby & into Océ (first floor), then the folks at Océ will give you another ticket to get out of the lot (don’t forget it).
Surrounding lots & street is available if you really need to pay; as always please read any/all signs posted and leave enough time to accommodate.
Why are we doing this?
The reason we are doing this is pretty simple: We want to help on real world projects and provide real solutions to real problems…Really.
Backstory
Jay, Troy, Elisa, Joe and some good friends got the inspiration to do this after the September LARUG meeting.
LARUG regular Steve Ziesing asked us a couple of questions & for one in particular there were several answers we offered individually; each correct in different situations & for different outcomes.
One of the answers though was best for his particular situation… TaDa…
We walked away talking about how cool that was and POOF: The Idea… “We should do that at the next LARUG… and maybe more”
So we decided that we will do an LARUG & take on questions & file & project issues to give our userbase the benefit of getting one of a kind support.
In Closing
We think this will be extremely useful & expect to have more indepth working sessions like this in the future and hope to see you there.
Special Thanks to @oce
…And… Scene.
