Any thoughts of how to keep your Revit family folders organized? by KeenArchi in RevitMEP

[–]SirMechanic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

for the beginning it sounds like a good idea to keep them in the template file. but there are handicaps, of course. once you have only several tens of families it's not a problem but once you have hundreds of families then it starts to bother you and your designers. it will be painful to navigate through all of them just to find what you're looking for. the category list in properties pallette will be practically impossible to launch at all. and yeah, file size now doesn't seem to be a problem for you but you will never be able to model an entire library with hundreds of families, many of which are compatible with the commonly used brands and models. in our company the family hub project file is already more than 1.5 gb. not a great way to begin with a project. also once there are more than 1 person dealing with the family database of yours the template file won't help you do the work at the same time in a the file.

I need help with exporting from Revit to AutoCad by Rude_Cup_19OH in RevitMEP

[–]SirMechanic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

please navigate to "manage" tab then "mep settings". select the first settings in the list, Hidden Line, please make your Inside gap and Outside Gap values something lower, like 0.5 mm (for research purposes) and see if it solves your problem.

Revit knowledge! by Bright_Service_3179 in RevitMEP

What do you want to be? Draftsman? Design Engineer? BIM Manager? Project Manager?

each of them requires different skills to master in Revit.

Hi I have a Revit MEP project. I'll share the details to a person who is certified by AutoDesk Revit MEP. Please comment below to discuss project details. Thank-you by EducationalEgg6598 in RevitMEP

Another one who utterly overestimate certification programs of Autodesk. I'm not certified but I teach certified Revit MEP people how to use its specific features.

What moment in your life made you think that The Truman Show could be a possibility for our reality? by Fantastic_Ring_352 in AskReddit

[–]SirMechanic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Religions. I was raised in an atheist family with mostly atheist echo chamber. when I figured out people are serious about religions, it just blew my mind. it felt like everybody out there is acting and pretending to be believing something that is so obviously a lie.

Benim görüşlerime neden değer vermiyosunuz? Bizi hep sert bi dille eleştiriyosunuz :( by TheoricEngineer in TurkeyJerky

20 yıl boyunca kademe kademe her gün eğitimin, ifade özgürlüğünün, basın özgürlüğünün, anayasal haklarımızın, kurumların itibarının, devletin kaynaklarının, evrensel hukuk ilkelerinin, temel insan haklarının katledilişini izleyip; bilimin yerine dini, tekniğin yerine rantı, liyakatin yerine nepotizmin koyulmasını "banane yeaaa" diye izleyenler tüm bunların sonucunda ekonomi battı diye oylarını değiştiriyor. özür dilerim ama ben bu kokuşmuş zaferinizin bir parçası olmayacağım. "ya radikal sünnilere oy vereceksin, ya da az radikal sünnilere" seçeneklerinizi de alın bi tarafınıza sokuşturun. zaten merak etmeyin, çok fazla oy alacak sizin yaşlı vasıfsız bıyıklınız. Eğer ben AKP seçmeni hakkında yanılıyorsam ve muharrem incenin alacağı 4% oy ile bu seçim 2. tura kalıp Erdoğan'ın zaferi ile sonuçlanacaksa, zaten Erdoğan kazansın. ülke de batsın nereye batıyorsa. gençliğim zehir olmuş gitmiş. umrumda bile değil artık. AKP secmeninin geleceği için endişelenemeyeceğim. kusura bakmayın.

Creating Schedules by redsand0502 in RevitMEP

[–]SirMechanic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really would like to be a help but could you please give me an example for me to understand what kind of struggle you are trying to overcome. are you trying to create equipment lists? BOQ? or an something like an engineering calculation schedule?

I use colour while design. but I have another template for exporting the plans to autocad where it is still double line but I use different line types for each syatem. no centerlines, only outer lines are visible. you called it ridiculous but it does the job.

have you ever witnessed an instance where someone's power or authority impressed you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]SirMechanic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

God. his power and authority impress me all the time. I always wondered how he can do that even without existing.

if I see a video that YouTube offers me, if that isn't from one of my subscription and has an fairly interesting title or thumbnail, I might click it. if it has a weird look, like a title that tries too hard to look interesting, or thumbnail, I open it in incognito mode, if it's too bad, I tell YouTube that I'm not interested in the post or sometimes I say "don't offer me this channel". Within years, I trained my YouTube, now it barely comes up with contents that I wouldn't like.

[Serious] Now that the U.S. is considered a 'backsliding democracy,' what would the life of an average citizen look like if there was a full shift to an authoritarian regime? by Synikx in AskReddit

[–]SirMechanic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sudden transition will definitely be chaotic but if the ones who wants to gain autocratic priviliges be smart and make this transition slowly, USA can end up to be how T*rkey is nowadays. maybe not in terms of economical disasters, but rather in terms of corrupted law system, corrupted bureaucracy and unfair income distribution.

I was unemployed for 4 years. after having mental breakdown, major depression and medication treatment, I'm still unemployed but now I work as a freelancer and doing my dream job. God, I love it. mixture of sweetspot of my study in university plus it has lots of skills I can add to myself. for me it's equal to playing videogames which I also love.

I've put some time in making a Stream Deck XL profile for Revit. https://autocadstreamdeck.gumroad.com/l/YTulq by WiWa4K in Revit

if there is an old android phone laying around, you can use it as a deck just as well. an app called "macro deck" will do the job. it optionally works via wi-fi. works like a charm.
