Picking an End to Extend

So you want one end of your bar joist seats to extend to the deck edge.  Visually, Revit doesn't provide you with any visual clues to determine which side is the end and which side is the start.  There is a way to determine which end is which without trial and error.  Im sure this is dumb and you've been there and done that and why am I talking about it. Well, maybe Im stupid, but either that changed something with Revit 11 or I've just gotten gotten it into my workflow.

When you select the member, to open the properties, hover over one of the end elevations, it will tell you whether it was the start or end.  Still not perfect.  (This one is pointed at you autocad, make the damn thing color coded or something.  I mean shit, is it really that hard.  I have seen where I can do this on my own, but really I pay you way to much money for that. Rant over)  If you have put in a beam system or several joist simlarly it should work out pretty well and you can handle multiples at once.

So there it is.  I'll add some pics later, but it's late and wanted to get something written down. 

Cam Newton "Posterizing" an LSU defender on the Goal Line
WAR CAM EAGLE! Currently Auburn ranked #1 in BCS and Cameron Newton is a FREAK.  He is a really special player and no matter what happens in the win/loss column the rest of the year, if he stays healthy, he will be Auburn's 3rd Heisman Trophy winner.
