All you ever wanted to know about sheet sizes

Did you know that "tabloid" is 11x17 in portrait mode?  I didn't.

I found this page helpful.  Maybe you will too.

What to do with "Working" Section Cuts and modifying the Section Tag symbol

So, twitter pointed me to THIS ARTICLE which pointed me to THIS ARTICLE which pointed out something that had thought was a PIA but never addressed.

Do section cuts which don't appear on your sheets or aka "working" sections clutter your plan views.  Yep.

So having them show up as red in plan views or filtered out in views can make your life easier.  What I wanted to add to the BIMuse article is that you cannot change the color of the section tag head.  This is because it can be modified/accessed by double clicking.  This applies to all items which are "actionable" by double click.  I didn't know that.

So, we just need to modify the section tail, create a new section cut type named "working" and modify the settings so that only the section tail shows up for the "working" section types.

I'll try to explain it, but its not going to be tonight.

I'll just leave you with this....Its Randomly Incredible
