April 2011 LARUG Scheduled

I will be sending out the invites and posting the info here tomorrow, for this month's LARUG meeting (well I am going to schedule it to post tomorrow).

Suffice to say that we will be meeting Wednesday, April 20th at 6PM PST at:

Somewhere in Los Angeles :-)

Yes we have the location, but in the words of many Artists, as well as David Byrne & Talking Heads: "You can't see it ... 'til it's finished"

Ohhh Foxy Lady: Downloading Revit web components made easy

If you're a long time reader here then you might have seen comments regarding Internet Explorer being less than optimum (crap even).

If you feel the same and want a solution that has proven trustworthy over the years then go get Mozilla Firefox (hit the image at left).

THEN...

You will want to hook yourself up with the addon "DownThemAll" (at least; (hit the image at left)). You'll get access to that by right-clicking on a web page

Why? Well, if you've ever wanted to get any and/or all of a multitude of files from a web page, in one fell swoop, then that's the tool for you!!!

You can have it send the files to any folder, add any file type and so much more...

Don't forget to set it up properly!!!









And have a great weekend!!!
