Time Flies....

Been a long time since the last post....super busy with work and life.  Haven't had too much development in the Revit world, its been mainly take the fastest line from A to B.

Was able to check out Tekla Structural Designer, its pretty new, but is a design software built around a modeling user interface.  There are still some issues that I think are innate to revit and design software.  I would check this program first if I was looking for a finite element software.

Celebrating 10 years using Revit!  We started with Revit 09 and I got Revit 19 installed the other day. It has been one of the best things to happen in my career.  Hard to believe its been that long, but Time Flies.....

A quick tip on section cut symbol visibility

This is a small thing, but its not a straightforward setting to change; or maybe Im just a dumbass and everybody else gets it and I don't.  Well, either way, I've have the problem occasionally where my section cut symbol doesn't show up on the plan.  Usually it's 2 things, either its on the wrong phase or it is set to be hidden at a certain scale.  This video addresses that problem.
