You don't need to place a separate curb under a railing. You can actually build the curb directly into the railing family. This just came up yesterday for an accessible ramp need. Enjoy. Happy Revitting!

Change MEP colored Ducts (and pipes, etc.) to Black
Переглядів 6 тис.Рік тому

SIGNAGE: Create, Place and Schedule (with Automatic Room Names)
Переглядів 3,7 тис.Рік тому
Signage can be a real bear to deal with in Revit if you go totally manual. But if you use the right parameters, and a little bit of family know-how, you can get your schedules to report the Room Names and Numbers. This can save tons of time when things change... (you notice I didn't say IF things change, haha). If your company needs BIM/Revit Assistance.. you can get help without hiring an in-h...

I FOUND A 'GLITCH' IN REVIT: Draw order matters - Go Figure!

But there is a way to fix it if it happens to you in your project. This Revit Tip will explain. If your company needs BIM/Revit Assistance.. you can get help...

yeeeees! it helped a lot...I was strugling with this and now life is easier! Thanks, Mike always super useful tips
Hi Mike I just watched your video on “Worksharing Basics: Creating Central and Local Files,” and I must say, it was nothing short of exceptional. Your ability to break down complex concepts into clear, manageable steps is truly remarkable. The way you explain the process of creating central and local files in Revit is so straightforward and easy to grasp-it’s evident that you have a deep understanding of the software and a talent for teaching. Having worked solo in Revit for several years, I recently faced the challenge of onboarding a new team member. Your video came at the perfect time and provided exactly the clarity I needed. It’s clear that you have put a lot of effort into making your content both informative and accessible, and it shows in the quality of your explanations. Your videos are, without a doubt, some of the best resources out there for learning Revit. I truly appreciate your dedication and skill in creating such valuable content. Thank you for being the best Revit teacher on the internet-your work is greatly appreciated! Keep up the fantastic work, Mike. I’m looking forward to learning more from you. Bilal Abbasi
I don't know if anyone notices, Mike has created an Anxiety free space to learn Revit. Here I'm taught not only how to do something but also not how to do it. Thank you Mike I'm definitely sure I will know Revit
Welcome back Mick and as always important video, please prepare more videos we need your teaching
Fantastic video man!
awesome educational content. Yes I learned something thank you man
Mike, you are a great man ❤
excellent videos thank you Mike !!!
Hello my friend 😂
In properties I see Section box. On the Ribon when you click command I see Selection box but you pronouns Section box. Do you mean that's same thing?
Thank you for video, Mike. Are you talking about section box or selection box?
It's really helpful. Thanks so much
Glad to have you back!
Thanks Mike
No one can teach as clearly as you, I truly appreciate your skills.
In this instance, never use curtain walls when it’s not a curtain wall. This should be a HM or Alum door family. Period
Hi. What if the revit folder was deleted in ACC. Is there a way to restore the folder/files in it?

Hello Mr. Mike, thank you for the videos, those tutorials are amazing. I have a question about the wall wrappings in Revit - how to show wall finish wrapping bellow/above the window/door in building and wall sections?
Can show me how to find lost files
Thanks for the tip....
Thank you Mike ...
Thanks For the Video. Suppose if i want to add custom parameter, How can i create a parameter in Revision Schedule. pls reply
🤯….I remember trying to see windows in Plan View in 2020 Revit @ various depths. Had to use View callouts I believe. Guessing this is a new feature? Sweet!!
Great video, helped alot
Awesome video demonstrating how a simple model line conveys what it needs to convey in an elevation view. The model lines illustrate the muntin pattern without exhausting countless hours modeling 3D muntins that will never show up in an elevation view. Your step-by-step tutorial showed me exacting what I needed.😊
Thnx Mike. Nice solution. What I always do is in the family’s,set the option ‘workplane based’ to ON. Works handy within the project. Keep making the videos 👊🏻 I wish I had a enthusiastic colleague like you. ✅ greetings from the 🇱🇺all best 🖐🏻
