Revit Users: "Snatch The Pebbles From My Hand" NOT "Grasshopper's"

Ian Keough does some great work and if you have ever seen Grasshopper for Rhino, yet use Revit and wish there were similar tools your wait is over (Thanks Ian!!!)... Dynamo is here...well, there (hit the images to go "there")

It is software 'in the wild' so do read up on it, as there are sure to be updates, changes as time goes on... If you add functionality please do share!!!

Check out all the posts on Ian's site, but CHECK HERE in particular to get to the Appropriate Building Coder page as well!!!

Thanks (from the Revit Community) to Ian Keough & Jeremy Tammik for the work & Troy Gates for letting us know about it...

The Structural Sound: November 2011 Los Angeles Revit Users Group Meeting

Ahhh That Structural Sound

November’s LARUG Meeting will be held at KPFF Consulting Engineers, and hosted by KPFF and Thornton Tomasetti.

Wednesday, November 16^th 2011 6pm

KPFF Consulting Engineers

6080 Center Drive, Los Angeles, CA 90045

Third floor

(Across from the Howard Hughes Promenade)

Parking is available for 2$ after 4PM across the street at the Howard Hughes Promenade.

FORM AND STRUCTURE

Best Revit practices for the Architectural/Engineering workflow

These two structural consulting firms team up to present the engineering side of the story: to answer questions from the Architectural, Structural & MEP community concerning methods of collaboration.

KPFF & Thornton Tomasetti

• Methods of collaboration:

*        What do you want our model to be, from the architectural perspective?

*        Level of design, authorship

*        Linking issues, who shows what , and when

*        How do we extract architectural information from their model, and vice versa?

For instance:

If I have a wave style roof what do I do? 

How do I discover in the architectural model the mass form and extract it for use in the Revit mass editor? 

How do I interact with Rhino mass shapes to best advantage importing and exporting from Revit? 

How do I best add structure to these forms in such a way that they could be edited and flexible through the design process?

• KPFF will present a hospital project in San Diego
• Thornton Tomasetti will show the new Rose Bowl Press Box addition
• Other subjects of interest related to the projects:

*        Rhino to Revit Techniques

*        Masses and adaptive components

*        A short video on Buildings Skins from a structural point of view

*        When to use 3d rebar

So we’ll see you at this LARUG-Before-AU. Bring colleagues and ask a lot of questions, as this is an exciting opportunity to get solutions from some people that have been there before…Also if you are attending AU please bring any questions or comments you may have regarding that as well…we will J

BOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooo

Marcello is at it again & won "The Baddest" category at Buildz...

Perception, Breakthrough, Success & Help The LARUG Part

The October 2011 Los Angeles Revit Users Group meeting was a bit monumental

First we are seeing more & more new members who are jumping into this BIM thing (The inevitability is indisputable and we say welcome & it will be hard work but well worth it).

The newest member of LARUG is, coincidentally enough, Pär Sjöblom; a colleague when we worked with the Landry Design Group. There we had the pleasure to work with some great people, on only the best residential projects imaginable... can you say 50,000+ SF houses? WOW, it still blows me away that those are still called homes... "Single Family Resorts" is more apt :-)


Anyhow, I challenged Pär that since he is the newest member we would like him to give a presentation to the group within a year... There are always new people to BIM & Revit and his sharing his recent experiences will help the next generation of users greatly...

Yes, the elliptical rotunda (and the whole house) was one of my projects at LDG... OK ego aside...

Secondly I wanted this to be a trans-formative meeting; we assembled a great cast of Reviteurs to provide experienced help on questions submitted; plus I wanted to get the point across that you never know where there is gold hiding.

WTF do I mean? Well we filter a lot out of our surroundings and at times that is necessary but when trying to figure something out those filters and prejudices, preconceived notions & thoughts that "Oh I know how to do that" or "I don't know how to do that", etc. can really hinder us...even the best of us...

To get the ball rolling I gave an example from my son; who when trying to backup his iPod was having trouble finding the "backup" button...

He went to the correct spot but since he didn't 'expect' it there he overlooked it ("I can't find it Dad")... I asked him to go back to the same fly-out and read to me everything he saw only this time start from the bottom  & read up.

...I wanted to have him look with a new perspective, to see things for what they are, rather than based on 'experience' or belief, etc. There are many ways to get ourselves to see things clearly but if we don't try... Well, as Wayne Gretzky said "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take."

...OK, the first thing my son said, without even reading the word "backup" was..."Oh I see it now"...

We spoke about the fact that as humans we use a limited 'perceptual set' and he immediately understood that he was filtering out the exact thing he was trying to find...all because of his thoughts...

Why? because his internal conversation was "I can't Find It"; so once he broke free of that dialog by changing his focus from "finding it" to simply "reading from the bottom/up" the button magically appeared, where once it was apparently not!!! Voilà: Transformation!!!

As people we must learn to not take anything anyone says at face value (even yourself!!!), verify everything and then still keep an open mind...If we listen or act from a 'position' then we will limit ourselves...that is what I tried to begin to break down in the group...SO...

To drive home the point of perspective/filters I gave a visual example of how our thoughts, judgements & prejudices color what we will allow in...

I was wearing black dress shoes, nice blue jeans, a black button-up/collared shirt & a black suit jacket...

I asked the group to give me one or two word answers to what style of clothes they felt I was wearing... "business casual" & "professional" were cited...GREAT SO FAR...

so I asked if they were listening to me as if I were a professional & they agreed...HERE COMES THE CURVE BALL...

I removed my jacket to reveal that my shirt was sleeveless; exposing the large tattoos on each of my biceps & upper arms...
I immediately appeared more biker than business & even though it was just seconds ago you could feel their attitudes changing...

I asked if they'd listen to this guy any differently than the one in the suit & they started to see what I was getting at...THIS IS WHERE THE TRANSFORMATION HIT... Nothing about "me" changed, only their perceptions of "me", whatever was going to be presented would not change due to my clothing, only their filtering/judgement/viewpoints... I asked that they listen from a new place: they (we) should listen from a non-judgmental, open space...no preconceived notions about anything... Just Open.

We briefly spoke about how there is no difference in a person or the value of what they say due to clothes, etc. Only in our willingness to believe them... The only difference was their filters, judgements & viewpoints... This is a fundamental flaw in humans!!! How many people get taken for billions of dollars by people who appear 'acceptable' or how many mass murderers have 'seemed' like the nice person next door... A LOT.

If perception is reality we must re-align our perception to allow real truths in, not prejudicial-truths.

Do not listen to clothes. Do not listen to how people 'appear'...(listen to people's words & actions)
Do not listen from your own points of view (you'll never truly learn new ideas)
Simply OTFU.

I explained:
If we let our inner conversations go then we will be open to the success that's right in front of us...hiding in plain sight: at all times! If you fail in an attempt (at something) keep trying until you find success: PERIOD. Never give up.  These are big parts of what separates greatness from the average: Who do you want to be: Average or Great?

On To The Real Help!!! More Transformation for all (click me!!!)

A very special LARUG Thanks goes out to Robb, Scott, Bill, Vince & everyone at Océ for hosting this great event, we really dug the space & we'll be back!!!

LARUG October 2011 Meeting Information & Invitation

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.

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.

He Said Member... Fellow LARUG member Getting Some Deserved Pub

As usual, hit the images & links for the goods!!! -BTW: Does anyone really need me to reiterate that all the time??? We do that for people who are new to this whole internet machine thing...probably unnecessary, huh??? Anyhow...

Ooooooh she's so shiny now (and even has brick on the inside)!!!

I like MS's concise reasoning in his posting to (try to) quell the haters' lack of vision & frankly a lack of fun.

You also may want to check out What Revit Wants' pub of Marcello's article that we have featured in the Revit Architecture section (that I shamelessly manage), in AUGIWorld's September Issue (beginning on page 34)... but read the whole thing!!!

Guess why Marcello wasn't at September's LARUG...
 

Welcome Donatello, the latest addition to MS's beautiful family!!!

I bet little Donatello is already using Revit too!!! ...at least to play with the cow & elephant ;-b

Talk about parametric families...


BTW: Do you have any Revit awesome or content, thoughts, projects, issues you'd like us to discuss? Send them our way: larug.president@gmail.com

August 2011 Los Angeles Revit Users Group Meeting

We are pleased to be having the August 17th, 2011 LARUG at USC!!!
Please go to
http://www.usc.edu/visit/upc/ and http://www.usc.edu/visit/upc/driving_directions/
to find your way... As always read all street signs &/or park on campus... $8 is reasonable IMHO...

This month we will have Kimon Onuma presenting a bit of the work he has been doing with the California Community College district, where he uses program requirements in OPS (Onuma Planning Systems), takes it out to SketchUp (???) and takes that into Revit and post it back to OPS... Nice round-trip? I wonder... Come to see for yourself :-)

After that we will have an Open Discussion about... Open Standards, IFC & more, so bring your opinions & expertise, as we will encourage a spirited debate, as always with possible solutions as a result... BTW: Have you been tweeting it up with @OpenRevStds ??? There is a lot of dialog and a lot has already been done toward open standards in our industry, so let's forward the cause!!!

Thanks to Karen Kensek at USC & Cody Nowak for helping work it out; Way to step up!!!

See you there!!!

St. Lucia: a suburb of Los Angeles (Revit Users Group)

What does this have to do with Revit??? The mental Hospital near the Revit User (visiting our site) can perhaps tell us... Or the image spells it out...

I Love the internet...bringing our worlds closer & closer every day... LA is beautiful but the Caribbean is great as well... Hit the images & other links for some surprises...

I was once told that the lowest temperature around St. Lucia (since we began recording those things, at least) was 69°, the hottest: in the low 100°'s... that's niiiiice!!! 

Unfortunately vacationing across the continent +, from LA seems redundant, so I may not get out there again, any time soon :-(

When I lived in NY I did go down to The Caribbean and it was fantastic... snorkeling in the biggest natural fish tank, that is the Caribbean... Glad I took off my earrings at the time, since the Barracuda could easily (and would have loved to) take off an ear or two for some shiny food... (DE LA BARRACUDA not withstanding :-D) I thank the Captain for that tidbit of advice... 

BIM Teams Unite!!!

Facade Tectonics...BOOM

In LA and need a Summer BIM tan???

July 2011 Los Angeles Revit Users Group Meeting

The image links to the Evite, if you wish to RSVP and show up!!!

This month’s LARUG will be an exciting and jam-packed one & graciously hosted by Leo A Daly Architecture... We will have a full BIM plate so be ready!!!

1)    The Leo A Daly team headed up by Jude Aten & Randy Rush will be presenting “PHASEr’s SET TO STUNning!” Planning for, setting up and using phasing on Revit projects.
Then suddenly:
2)    RTCUSA 2011 Round Table Recap (sans table?). Planned guests include some of the innagural RTCUSA presenters from our membership;

Marcello Sgambelluri, Thomas Weir, Jay Zallan, Brian Anderson & (Perhaps) Nicholas Kramer, Steve Stafford, Jim Balding & William Troak.
But wait, there’s more!!!
3)    A New Technology Demonstration of CADFASTER. Tuomas Holma & Juulia Tarma will be showing CADFASTER & looking for our input!!!
A unique software (& iPad app!!!) developed for the real-time annotation and CO-viewing of 3D CAD models in the design process, specifically for Autodesk Revit.
(remember CAD is simply “Computer Aided Design”, not drafting!!! -JBZ)
•          No other software needs to be installed
•          Files are compressed, small enough to email and view on low power laptops
•          Real time format-free 3D file sharing & collaboration
•          Allows fast sharing and annotation in ad-hoc situations
•          Secure – models cannot be modified in exe format

So we will see you at Leo A Daly’s Downtown Offices Wednesday, July 20th 6pm (sharp :-)), at: 550 South Hope Street, 27th Floor,  Los Angeles, CA 90071.
Elevators get tricky after 6:30 so get there early, even though we will have some elevator assistants...assisting… Parking is all around the area and is pay-to-play, so read the street signs, etc. or better yet take the train!!!

Did someone say beer??? :-)!!! Thanks to all of our resellers that help support us each month (Microdesk, USCAD, Kelar Pacific, Aec Factory) and Autodesk & their own Charles (Chuck) Keeley!!!
