Information on file-based worksharing in Revit on Dropbox, Box, OneDrive, SharePoint, or Google Drive

Update******************************************************* August 2018************************************************** Enough time has time passed since the original 2011 posting that I think it is important to update things based on where we are in 2018. First, don't do this method for Workset enabled projects. The downside and likelihood of it failing is too great to justify it. And it will fail at some point. Probably two hours before a deadline and you've now lost several hours

Often overlooked in climate agreements, materials are an untapped resource when it comes to reducing emissions. In this rich and varied interview we are joined by Drawdown Advisor David Allaway to look at how we can better use materials through reducing resource use, cleaner production and better management and disposal. Materials are integral to the...

As a sequel to last year's Great Dynamo Dig, this class will demonstrate new concepts that will help you creatively capitalize on your Revit software data with the Dynamo visual programming language extension. Dynamo extension enables users with powerful data-mining capabilities through a graphical user interface. These capabilities, once only available to Revit software’s API experts, have made it easier to get to your Revit software data, to manipulate it, and to stream it to many external sources. The class will introduce key concepts for accessing, formatting, and sharing Revit software...

Embodied carbon is the carbon footprint to make a product Solar PV based electricity is undoubtedly lower carbon emissions than fossil fuel-based electricity However, it is also known to have a...

It's generally assumed that it only takes a few years before solar panels have generated as much energy as it took to make them, resulting in very low greenhouse gas emissions compared to conventional grid electricity. However, a more critical analysis shows that the cumulative energy and CO2 balance of the industry is negative, meaning that solar PV has actually increased energy use and greenhouse gas emissions instead of lowering them. The problem is that we use and produce solar panels in the wrong places. By carefully selecting the location of both manufacturing and installation, the po...
