Schedules and Phasing

Did you know that all/most schedule are tied to phases seperately?  Make sure in the TYPE PROPERTIES when  in EDIT SCHEDULE screen; you choose the correct settings.  Otherwise you could be showing only one phase/alt, etc.

Nice (Should be a no brainer, but you never know with revit) that you can edit the schedules this way, although it's still another step to keep up with over the course of the project.

Off topic, but.....
Im not sure we're not headed for a touchscreen future in design, at least partially.  Have you ever used photoshop express, basically photoshop for tablets/smartphones?  Im terrible with photo editing but it's really a "natural" way to manipulate photos.  I wonder where we could take advantage of this in design?

Picture taken on a site visit with my EVO, then editing in photoshop express.

More than you need to know about Slide Bearing Plates!

Nice! Thank you internet.

On my trip to London, I couldn't help but admire the structure of terminal 5 at Heathrow.  I had a hard time figuring out how it works, but it is a beautiful use of structure.  Airports are becoming some of my favorite structures.
