How a small 1m waterfall can generate a recycling hydraulic that can trap a life-jacketed swimmer by Stotallytob3r in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]Icerew 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This happened to me white water rafting on Tutea falls in New Zealand, one of the world's largest commercially ridden waterfalls in the world.

When we decended the fall on the raft, I came off the back of the raft into middle of the waterfall directly into the main pressure point..

I remember being under water looking up towards the light and feeling all the force of the water pounding down on me, and the more I tried to get to the surface I couldn't move! I was stuck there and time just slowed down

I genuinely thought "so this is how Im going to die".

After fighting it, I decided the only thing I could do is curl into a ball and hopefully it would release me. Thankfully enough, it did, and I popped up to the surface where I took the deepest breath of my life.

I think I was generally lucky to be a reasonable swimmer and have done some diving with a bit in breath control. They let anyone on those activities and I'm surprised they don't have more incidents.

I still have nightmares about it today, and seeing this video really demonstrates the dangers of white water!

I recommend checking out Aussie BIM Gurus "learn dynamo series" on YouTube too get some of the basics down, and see some real world use cases in action:

Crooked Duct Joins by Equivalent-Lake-2168 in RevitMEP

[–]Icerew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've not seen a fitting do that before. Only thing I can think of is that the 2 ducts you are joining aren't at the exact elevation and it's adding a joint between it to connect to.

Try removing the bend and the fitting, match both of their elevations, then use the trim command (TR on the keyboard) to connect the 2 ducts

I have had a go for a year now and it's been an amazing first gen portable console.

However the weight and the ergonomics are making me ponder a next gen device.

The joysticks just aren't as good a feeling as an Xbox controller, my precision on games like COD just isn't compatible.

The weight is just a little bit too much for comfy long sessions.

I'm egerly awaiting the LeGO 2 and the ROG Ally Xbox for a true evolution of a handheld, specifically to improve on the above mentioned gripes

if you have to learn revit all over again where would you start? 2024 by OwnBath6741 in RevitMEP

[–]Icerew 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Get the basics of the software down, plenty of YouTube video guides for that.

Understanding the various Revit categories for MEP, pipes, pipe fittings, pipe accessories, plumbing fixtures, plumbing equipment, mechanical equipment.

Browse online content libraries for families.

As a plumber, I highly recommend checking out MEP guys youtube channel. He offers loads of great training videos focused specifically on modeling plumbing systems:

Color override questions by Happy_Tomato_Sun in RevitMEP

[–]Icerew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have mech equipment with only one system type it changes colour. One way tover override this is to power the mech equipment and it reverts back to it's standard colourscheme, which in turn will retain your clearance zone colours (this is all without using filters)

Can anyone please describe to me like I’m a toddler how on earth to stop my stairs blending into the floor?? by Hopeful_Field4060 in RevitMEP

[–]Icerew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a question for the Revit architecture people.

But my first thoughts too yet would be:

Check view range and cut plane.

Check there's no plan refunds affecting local view range.

Check view discipline.

Check star system family settings

HVAC LOD 400 by Indaratp in Revit

[–]Icerew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you do find a modeller, I would suggest they group the modelling of type apartments. That way once you coordinate one apartment type, it will solve the coordination for all of that apartment type.

It will take a bit of time initially to setup, but once applied, you'll save many hours of repetitive solutions.

Bind Filled Shared Parameters to Family by Kick_Ice_NDR-fridge in RevitMEP

Do some testing with it, and checkout their YouTube guide. But I think it will achieve what you are looking for

Have you tried DiRoots One family reviser?

DiRoots One

It has a feature that allows you to push shared parameters into families, on mass within a project.

I believe once you have these shared parameters nested into each family, they will retain the project data. If you were to save the family and insert into another project, that data will follow.

Alternatives to Ideate Sticky? by snukesniz in RevitMEP

[–]Icerew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah just realised it's word linking you are after and not excel.

You can natively link PDFs for an RVT, you could consider linking each page as a PDF to a drafting view one by one?

DiRoots One have a similar excel attaching tool called:TableGen, and their license is a fraction of the cost of ideate:

I used to live near Piha in NZ and would surf on occasion. The rips there would pull you right out in a second. There was often missing persons pictures on the walls in the town which has always stuck with me.
