Our fantastically talented and in many ways awesome Ph.D. candidate Margarida Jeronimo Barbosa asked me if she could delete some Levels in a Revit project file. After I had elaborated for a good 10 minutes about the possible implications of doing so, she gave me the "I'

A simple way to try out Dynamo on building projects is to use it to extract, compute and move building data. One example that I love to show uses the problem of tagging and scheduling building component elevations in Revit. Last week my buddy Hannes (svensken) at Dark asked about

Yesterday morning I woke up in Istanbul. By noon I was back at the office in Oslo having lunch with my friends at Dark. That flight marked my final appearance as a speaker at international BIM conferences in 2014. I've been in Melbourne, Chicago, Dublin, Las Vegas and

In about 24 hours my colleagues, friends and me depart for Dublin and Revit Technology Conference Europe 2014. This year's conference is the second ever, with the first being held in Delft, Netherlands a little over a year ago. That was a truly epic event, and I am

A white sheet. For the first time for as long as I can remember, I start drawing on a white sheet. Not a sheet of paper. A clean, untouched white canvas on a computer screen. I use white paper sheets all the time, but I have never started to draw

I see flat people. Andy Milburn did too, and not only people. In his posts Flat People and Tree Family Download from last year he uploaded a sample of Entourage and Planting families that look much better than the OOTB RPC's Revit ships each year. Both on drawings,

One of this year's definitive personal highlights will be the dual lab Julien Benoit and I will be hosting at the Revit Technology Conference Europe 2014 in Dublin by the end of October. My recent adventures at RTCAUS in Melbourne (read more here) and Julien's unstoppable
