Comment on Six Technology Trends: by Autodesk by Michael Raphael

Thanks for posting this video. Brian is very smart, and I believe accurate about this list but I’d like to see more examples. Where, for example, will ‘reality capture’ be huge? What are the killer apps for scanning the world in 3D? Mapping? Architecture? Art? Consumer? Medical? We’ve seen lots of tech headline news stories on all of these vectors but what will be the drivers behind massive reality capture? Where will the demand come from and who will provide these capabilities – services or products?

I am not talking about the little stuff many people, including myself, do today. I am asking about big growth and demand. In 10 or 15 years, what will reality capture enable? Virtual museums and touring, with highly immersive telepresence? Awesome visual effects in movies? Or will we just have a bunch more digital junk to 3D print with no Google-World kinda use? Hell, I’ll settle for a Getty Images of 3D stuff if they’ll pay me to do it!

Just looking for a little hint from Brian, or others, as to where reality capture is going. I do this stuff everyday and have for nearly 20 years. I have my ideas, I’d like to hear others.

I don’t have the 2012 version, however Kelvin Tam has created a good tutorial on how he created it, over at Revit Swat: http://revitswat.wordpress.com/2012/12/04/alert-egress-path-on-fire/

Was the 2012 version ever published and if so, where can I get it?

Thanks…

Today I noticed a new behavior:
Medium – Occasionally when working in the family editor, my screen will turn black in the drawing window. When it does, the view will save the appropriate preview in the file, and closing the family fixes the issue.

Hi Sean,

I tried to download the AMAZING football revit family you made, but it is no longer available in dropbox. Could you send it to me???

Thanks!
Amanda

Hi,

I thought that you and your readers might be interested in my new blog – http://boostyourbim.wordpress.com. My goal is to help Revit users learn more about the power of the Revit API and how to use it. I will be answering reader questions and posting source code showing how to write Revit API code to solve real-world problems.

Thanks
Harry

I would love this for 2012. I have something similar but since I’m new to Revit, I haven’t figured out how to change the line type and add arrowheads. I’m also trying to make a small tag that gives the total length of the line. Is a more detailed tutorial available? Thanks for your site. It’s super helpful.

Very happy to help. I would like to concentrate on more tips like this in the future. I’ve been collecting many of them in my drafts folder. Happy Reviteering!

THANK YOU for this post. I had been struggling for weeks and weeks over groups in Revit, and have now quickly fixed my problem by turning them all into linked Revit files. Most Revit discussion boards are incredibly unhelpful and complicated, so I greatly appreciated your concise yet thorough explanation. life saver!
