A while back I got into a conversation with Daniel Hurtubise at Renzo Piano Building Workshop about possible Dynamo use cases. It turned out we had aligned ideas: Trying out different randomizing techniques with Revit Planting (and other) Families. Today I recorded a short video demonstrating how you can do

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'

[wpvideo 43p442Uc] After a few posts on the use of Adaptive Components for Post Tension Tendons, it's now time to take it a bit further. Some Reviteers out there might have had the chance to look at Image-O-Matic from Boost Your BIM (boostyourbim.wordpress.com and

After the last post on post tension bars in Revit I received some positive feedback and questions about how one would go ahead and add more points. You can do this by simply copying the intermediate point(s) around and re-hosting, followed by a new hosted circle and sweep.
