"I’ve been digging into the Revit API a lot lately. I am not a Revit true-believer yet, but I give credit where its due and so far the Revit API has been quite impressive. It is lacking a lot of things, but generally you can work around them one way or another. One such pain that many of us encounter is a limited number of places you can actually do work. Which again, isn’t a big deal, but I do see a lot of people complaining about having super bloated idle events. I have no idea if someone else has a better way to solve this, but I for one hit the problem and went back to working on my long term goals 20 minutes later after coming up with the method I am presenting. So, maybe there is a better way running around, but since I keep seeing the same dialog, I thought I’d post how I chose to handle postable and/or modeless dialog command issues. It is a system that works pretty well for me because I can cue up stuff to happen, those things can do work, then cue up more stuff to happen an..."

"This is something of a sensitive topic. A pure-Revit guy would consider this blasphemy, but for an AutoCAD user, what I have done could be a real blessing. From my perspective, if you have skills, then you should be able to use them and the design software should be a nearly irrelevant factor on whether or not you can competently coordinate a project. I fundamentally believe people should be enabled to work whatever way they can be the most productive and accurate. These philosophical principals are quite hard to pair with Revit, mostly because it is such a large deviation from the way many design software’s interact with their users. For us, we have been “waiting” for Revit to give us everything we need to do our jobs for many years and because of our desired dependency on generating 2D isometric fabrication drawings, I keep coming up with the same answer of: “its not ready yet”; which is still true… However, they have been progressively bridging the gap and they are most of the w..."

"Today I present another long awaited free utility that should help fellow lisper’s better utilize their Lisp libraries. For those of us who have have written many thousands of lines and often find it easier to start from scratch than locate something we worked on 2 or 3 years ago; this tool is for you! Although I would honestly recommend this tool to people who are trying to learn as well. I know the ability to quickly pull up a ton of practical usage examples on pretty much any function (depending on your library) would have certainly helped me a ton. So for newbs, I’d suggest you go download every free LSP you can find and just make a giant dumping ground and leverage this app to quickly find examples. Increase code recycling by locating existing work and gaining a clear understanding of everything that change would affect. Increase efficiency by quickly locating functional examples of any function you’ve previously used in your library. Provide filters that build upon eac..."
