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.

Moving Forward: Revit Structure 2012
Revit is fairly easy and painless transition to update each year. Here's a list of what options I changed in Revit 2012 to create the same workflow across updates
Big R Pulldown - Options Button - User Interface Tab - Keyboard Shorcuts - Import your previous year's file .xml
File Locations - Load your Default Template file .RTE
File Locations - User files - Your Revit Families Folder
File Locations - Family Template - You can use the default folder. This is the new templates. I have not changed any of the family template files personally.
File Locations - Places Button - Imperial Library File - Where your MODEL elements are located. Under the structure folder
File Locations - Places Button (you change both of these files before leaving the same pop up menu) - Detail Library files are located (Think 2D)
That was about it for me. Crude, but the info is there.

User's Guide: Creating a Custom Elevation Tag
Easy way to do it, but very random. Section cuts are in the same section as well.
Project Browser Organization & Notes on Multiple Pages
Wanna organize your levels other than by name? Here it is.
VIEW tab ---- USER INTERFACE pulldown ----- BROWSER ORGANIZATION ----- NEW (name it whatever) ----- Group By - Type ----- Sort By - Associated Level - Decending (and whatever else you want to do with it in the pop up) ----- Ok, then make sure it is checked and then BOOM! levels are organized by height.
Want to put text notes on multiple sheets? Here it is.
VIEW tab ----- LEGENDS ------ make your note, then pull it into a sheet from the browser. Short and Suuuweeeeeeeeettt.
