Structural Reviteers...a while ago (2017?) you had to move a grid more than 7" to get the columns on that grid to move too. It *appears* to have been fixed since then, but I'm trying to figure out when...2018? 2019? Anybody?

UPDATE: *Columns* move even at tiny intervals. *Beams* can stay put depending on the move distance. It appears to be related to the column bounding box. Yeesh.

Here, have a GIF. The top column has a 12" flange, the bottom column has a 14" flange.

Henry Petroski, Whose Books Decoded Engineering, Dies at 81 (Gift Article)

He wrote extensively about the design of buildings and bridges and how they failed. He also examined the history of commonplace objects like the pencil.

Happy to say that I had 9 clean solves in the #Boswords 2023 Spring Themeless League and finished in the top 20% of Stormy! Great fun all around as usual. 😎 #wordnerd #crosswords

Can someone explain to me why Revit roofs & floors hide "areas" in an area plan? Is that normal or am I doing something wrong?

Spent a total of 4 hours this week on support calls with 3 different vendors for problems that could have been solved with simple user-facing documentation. (And it's not Friday yet.) Whyyyyy....🤦‍♀️

Revit puzzle! New shared text parameter, assigned to view instances...and it's read-only. For most views but not all. For some sections, it's editable when I select the section reference but not in the section view itself. Any ideas??? (I need it editable.)

TIL Windows has a built-in screen recorder (thru the Game bar). 🤯 Win+Alt+R to start recording, MP4 is saved in %userprofile%\videos\captures. Not fancy, but exactly what I needed today!

Headed home after a great #AU2022. It was so good to see everyone—and I learned some things too! 😎 (Also exceeded my beignet quota for the year 😋) See you next time!

Anybody else having trouble with pyRevit and Revit 2023? Installed 4.8.10 but it's throwing errors. I think these are the relevant lines?

Just bought a new wireless keyboard and it's TERRIBLE. Weirdest key layout ever (why is the right CTRL directly under backspace??) Are they all like this now? What models do you use and like?
