Revit :: Making It Easier To Read What's On The Screen
Feb 6, 2012
The resolution of my monitor is set to the recommended resolution of 1920 x 1080. The default text size of 100% is too small. One of the preset options is to set the text at 125%. That works find in Revit Architecture 2012. BUT, I need the text to be a tad larger. If I set the text to 130% with a custom text size, something weird happens in Revit. The "status" bar at the bottom of the editing screen distorts the text. Some other weird things happen as well. Is text size in Revit hardwired?

I am doing a generic annotation with several rows of text, but I need to read the view scale in the project to set the spacing between the rows of text. My idea is to create a parameter that will be multiplied by the scale factor in the view.

I don't know if this is possible, but can a door family read the rating of a wall and also have it read in the door schedule? I have tried applying a shared parameter on the door family and adding it in the project. I am not understanding how I can link the two together.

Any way to make a the wireframe of an object "grow" or build onto screen through animation?
For example, I need to have the wireframe of a bridge look like it's drawing onto the screen as the bridge rotates.
I'm not a scripter. So I'm lacking the ability to create a script from scratch.

I'm using Premiere Pro CC on Windows 7. I previously was able to import and edit clips via exactly the same workflow - but now, not matter what clips I import, they all appear as the 'white screen'. The thumbnail is a frame of the video, but as soon as I mouse over, scrub, or try to play the clip, it turns totally white. Audio will play fine though.
I'm almost positive it has to do with using an AOC display that plugs in via USB. This is based on a similar issue I had using that display on a Mac and having part of a Blackmagic Design software UI not appear while using that screen.
I've tried lots of things, including updating the driver for my graphics card, from the manufacturer's site. I can try - especially a way to undo whatever was done when I plugged in that USB display (worked without manually installing any drivers).

When I'm editing in a 100 +photo folder from a sports event it takes alot of time moving from one photo to the next. I was hoping that there is a short cut or some keyboard short I can use to save time.
Let me be specific what I am refering to : I open folder 9 year old baseball which has 150 photos in it. I open jpeg 122 in photoshop and make my modifications and then save it. NOW, I have to go back into photoshop, open the folder again, either scrool down with the slider bar or by using the arrows to get to jpeg 123 to begin the next modification. This process becomes a pain and takes alot of time. Is there a way to avoid going back to the folder and using the vertical slide bar or arrows, maybe theres a way to use a keyboard shortcut to advance from jpeg 122 to jpeg 123?

I'm using Mac 10.4.11, PhotoShop 8, Epson Stylus Photo RX600 (and InDesign CS v3.1). The printer can do beautiful work when it all works together, but that is rare.
Will upgrading PhotoShop provide smoother color management tools? Other than that I have no problems with my configuration?

Sometimes I get xrefs that just seem to drag the system down - also on high end systems. This especially happens if I start throwing the view-cube around. Have you got any tricks on how to make such xrefs more "easy" on the system?

quick/easier way of creating three-line diagrams? I'm working on a map of our main feeder lines and the boss wants three-phase lines done as three-lines, but there's a heck of a lot of it and it doesn't necessarily keep to the orthoganals.

I want to view folders in library to make sorting easier but my template of folders (created in Finder) will not show. Before I cull my images, I'd like to be able to sort/shove specific images into specific folders before culling. It appears that the only way to see these folders is to have an image in them.
How do I get these folders to appear in Library?

I have got a problem by modeling a roof. The first picture attached shows it right at the moment. I want to keep the star one can see in the center of the picture but the edges look at bit problematic because it consist of 3 former independent cubes. The edges are shown in the second picture.
My question is if it is possible to make the star consist of squares to model it a bit easier. I use maya 2012 education.

I want to make a walkthrough of the building I have created, and I was going to have the camera walking down the hall, with the camera aimed to the side so that you can see into each room as you pass it.
However, the doors are in the way. Is there a way to make the doors invisble in the walkthrough (or open them or something) so that it just looks like an arch-way.

While making an In-Place Component, Revit fades everything else and makes it hard to see anything except for what you are working on. Is there a way to change this so that everything else isn't as faded.

im having trouble with a rotational object. I Basically made a basketball system in the category of specialty equipment. i made several different families in the same category and have nested one big family in specialty equipment.. I then loaded the nested family into a Generic face base template and change the caegory to specialty equipment, after completeing the steps i then loaded it into another family that is just specialty equipment. My problem is that, im either getting constraint problems when i set up my angular dimension parameter and try changing it's angle or when i do get it to change angles the pivot point keeps moving around...The main point is how do i get my pivot point to stay still and have my angle parameter change without errors?

I am working on a very large Metal Screen that is Approx. 55'-0" H x 240'-0" W.
I need to create the actual punched screen for my Revit Model Renderings and can not use a decal as an option. Each 4'x8' panel will be punched based on a Raster image that I have created an algorithm the convert the image to a Vector Autocad file so the metal fabricator can program the puncher. Every panel is different and thus can not be created and just copied over the entire screen.
The only way I have been able to attempt creating this screen hase been to Edit the profile of a wall. this method though is insanely time comsumming and not really an option, how to select all the lines brought in from cad together and edit. I have only been able to click individual lines...
I am attaching 2 DWG files, one that is off a full size portion of the screen and one that represents one panel (approx. 4' 8').
I am also attaching a RVT file that has the DWG brought in an placed on on elevation of the "wall".

I'm running Revit 2013 on Parallels 8 (Windows 7 x64bit) on a Macbook Pro, it has been working fine for over a year untill today as it freezes on the startup splash screen and the 'SECSplashwnd' becomes non-responsive. Nothing significant has been changed as it was working fine 8 hours ago.
I have tried repairing the Revit installation, restarting windows and mac, uninstalling Microsoft Framework and reinstalling. Problem Details:

Each time a student try to launch Revit 2010 he gets the splashscreen and then nothing. The application stops lauching ? When we have a look to the Revit log files we can see this error :
' 0:< Initial VM measure: 1934 MB available, 37 MB used
'C 15-Dec-2010 09:46:54.844; 0:< started recording journal file
' Build: 20090917_1515
Dim Jrn
Set Jrn = CrsJournalScript
' 0:< DBG_WARN: API Context is inoperable. Revit will not run correctly.: line 427 of .MFCCRS.cpp.
'C 15-Dec-2010 09:46:54.906; 0:< ->InitInstance
So if we want to work with Revit we have to install RunAs and start Revit through RunAs with administrator rights.Students have a mandatory Active Directory profile and even if we give "power user" rights we get the same problem.

I have been using Revit 2013 for a few weeks now. When Revit opens the splash screen appears and the programme loads fine, I then open the file I want to work on. This is when the error message of an "unrecoverable error" occuring.
This used to happen now and then until today which does not open it all. I have seen solutions on other posts but it still doesn't seem to address the problem.

Actual printing size on the screen,
I’m wondering if there is a tool on the Revit that enables displaying the actual printing size on the screen. This feature is quite useful as we can see exactly how the drawing will precisely looks like on the paper.
For example, if I need to print with a scale of 1:200, then is there a tool that displays the actual size on the screen. Other software, like ArcGIS, has this feature.
Software: AutoCAD 2014, AutoCAD C3D, AutoCAD M3D, Revit
Windows 7 (Ultimate 64 bits),
Firefox 20.0,
Kaspersky 2013.

I'm using a student version of RAC 2011 and everything works out well upon installation. My problem is that whenever I pan or zoom in on my model, the screen will blink black and white, and at certain zoom level, the screen stays all black. I'm using an ASUS K52jc-Ex303 laptop with the following specs:
Operating System: Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit
Processor: Intel Intel® Core™i3-370 2.40 GHz
Memory: 4GB DDR3
Graphics Card: NVIDIA Geforce 310M
I have already installed the latest drivers from nvidia, which doesn't seem to work.
Matter of fact, it's so bad, that i'm always forced to turn off hardware acceleration which is a headache especially with large-scale models and it keeps on crashing.
I understand the fact that this GPU was built for gaming, and its not listed in the list of recommended graphics cards by autodesk. (I get the some features... message everytime i open RAC) My question is, is there anyway I can tweak the settings within the nvidia control panel to improve this issue on my revit architecture 2011?

Just upgraded to REVIT 2013 and now many types of lines are not visible on screen- randomly it seems. Also, sometimes they don't print, either. I've tried increasing the fineness of the view, changing the material definitions, etc. Most often this is happenning when I have opened an old file and had it automatically update the file. Also, it seems to happen within asurface texture, but it is not limited to that circumstance.
