Went ahead and clicked the button to overwrite the loaded family and the 10" C-Channel appeared in the list of detail components.  The warning pop-up sure got me thinking that overwriting the currently loaded family would change the 15" channel in all of my existing details to 10".

Luckily that wasn't the case.

It's all better now.  Stress level back to mildly elevated.]]> 1224@http://www.searug.org Adding steel detail components 2012-03-27T10:01:14-05:00 http://www.searug.org/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=360#1222

Obviously I like the Fire GL.  But we have had no issues on the Radeon except for a couple of dropped frames on large models with detail in Shaded or realistic with shadows. Fire GL so far can handle just about anything.  If money is no object GL. otherwise Radeon

Also depends on Laptop vs Desk. Fire GL need 600w power supply on Desktop, Radeon 450-500.  I suspect it will dim the lights when you pan Revit.  I have decent life in my laptop now, but not sure of the drain is the video or HDD]]> 1221@http://www.searug.org Flat panel monitors 2012-02-21T18:16:18-05:00 http://www.searug.org/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=356#1217
I found creating a tag to be the solution. It works great. Annotation labels are not the solution here. They are static where the tag is dynamic.

Thanks again,

John]]> 1217@http://www.searug.org Extrating informatiion for display in an annotation label 2012-02-21T15:57:56-05:00 http://www.searug.org/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=357#1216
In my experience Siteworks without LandCADD is incomplete. For instance all the parking lot development tools for stalls and other features are in LandCADD. So, I would recommend you budget for it. The video on the website is a bit missleading. There is quite a bit of setup that needs to be done along with the usual planning processes. However, once you have that completed the manipulation of the tools is not tool bad. Again, they work a little differently than the Revit OOTB tools. If you have ever tried to grade a site with the OOTB tools you will appreciate the Siteworks program.

And to be clear you can use the parking lot components that come with Revit. But some of the automation in the LandCADD program are very nice. And you have the "what if" option process made easier.

Hope that helps,]]> 1216@http://www.searug.org Siteworks by EaglePoint - who's using it? 2012-02-21T15:54:43-05:00 http://www.searug.org/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=354#1214
The truth is all three local Autodesk VAR’s have trained thousands of people in Revit over the years, so you will learn it… but don’t expect to be plugged into the Matrix.  There are also a number of other schools, technical collages, and consultants that offer great Revit training services too.

I say contact them all… ask questions, do your proper due diligence, and form your own opinion.  Don’t fish for someone with a bone to pick.  Make your decision based on your schedule, their schedule, cost, the program outline, and other possible offerings.  So in reality, it’s all up to the individual, and the commitment you want to give to your education.

As a final general note to all, please do not use the SeaRUG Forum as a stage to solicit personal opinions about products or services.  We don’t allow companies to make posts to solicit services, and this falls into that same arena.]]> 1214@http://www.searug.org whos better - Ideate or PPI 2012-02-10T13:17:18-05:00
