Virtualizing Autodesk Revit Architecture 2011 September 2011 Ever since computer aided design (CAD) became feasible on personal computers, architects have been ...Ever since computer aided design (CAD) became feasible on personal computers, architects have been challenged when sharing the workload with others within the enterprise as well as outside consultants and partners. CAD drawings were usually 2-dimensional sheets that represented 3-dimensional objects. Each consultant was responsible for discreet sheets within their field of expertise. The process was messy and inefficient, but delineation of scope was clear. With the emergence of Revit and building information modeling (BIM) on the desktop, new challenges have arisen. Since Revit is model-based and allows multiple users simultaneous access, it is important for all parties to have direct access to the model. It is counterproductive to make copies of the model for the various project constituents as they lose the real-time feedback when changes occur. To overcome these challenges a Revit research partner is experimenting with several virtualization methods to deliver Revit to the far reaches of the enterprise and outside partners and consultants....

Revit 2012 Update: New to Revit 2012 (Architecture, MEP, and Structure) Single-key keyboard shortcuts now have priority on the Status Bar. If a character is used as a...A New Setting to Increase Performance As we all know, performance is one of the key concerns when working with Revit MEP. Any method to increase the performance is invaluable, no matter how insignificant it may seem. With the release of Revit MEP 2011, another such method has been added. This is found in the Electrical Settings dialog. Included in the new Load Calculations panel of the dialog is a control that allows you to turn off load calculations for spaces. Unchecking the “Run calculations for loads in spaces” checkbox will keep Revit from constantly updating these calculations and show the loads as “Not Computed” in the Properties dialog. As soon as the box is rechecked, the values will be calculated again....
