Revit :: Paint Tool Giving Inaccurate SF On Schedules
May 22, 2013
I am working on a project doing cost estimating and product specification for interiors. First project ever using Revit!
In my "Wall Finish Schedule" I need to show the finish material, the Area (SF) and cost. For tile on the wall I have created basic walls which works great. For my painted walls I used the split face tool and applied the material with the paint tool. Double checking the SF calculations for the applied paint - they are incorrect and seem to calculate the whole wall instead of the split area with material applied.
What is the best solution to properly apply wall materials so they schedule properly?

Fiddling around with schedules, I found a workaround to set the row height. Simply:
1 - Add a field which doesnt' contain any data to the schedule;
2 - In the schedule view, select the field's column and in the appearance tab, define a font size to whatever size of rows you would like.
3 - When you now add the schedule to a sheet, you can see that the height of each row is bigger
4 - If you selected to show gridlines, you can define the newly added column in the schedule view to have no borders
And that's my workaround. It's way better than adding spaces and adjusting widths.

Is it possible to organize the schedules/quantities into filters and folders, like the way that views are grouped and organised?

I have an issue where filtering my framing member schedules per Level by, for example, Level equals LEVEL 3 causes the entire schedule to be filtered to empty. We clearly have members constrained to and occuring on LEVEL 3.
The same happens when filtering for, say, at or above LEVEL 3, but interestingly not at or below LEVEL 3, in which case nothing happens -- that is, it still displays members clearly occuring only on and constrained to Reference LEVEL 5.

I've recently upgraded from Photoshop cs3 to cs5.1 and have noticed that the marquee tool's selection is not as accurate as I'd like. For something simple like drawing a selection around a square I could previously do this down to the exact pixel with a single click and drag. My process (while working at 100%) now goes like this:
i) Choose which bit of the cursor I place in the top left of the square to trace (I use the black inner lines)
ii) Click and begin dragging and see that the selection in the top left is now 1 pixel down and 1 pixel to the right of where I clicked.
iii) Drag the selection to the bottom right of the square and align the inner lines of the crosshair
iv) Release the mouse button. The top left corner now springs back into the originally clicked position (good). The bottom right corner now jumps up to 2 pixels up and 2 pixels left of the actual corner.
I am left trying to approximate how far past my object corner I overshoot in order for it to be correct when it 'jumps' back. It feels as though I'm getting similar selection errors as if I was working at a random image zoom such as 337%
Jumping problem is the same if 'snap' is turned on or off...The problem occurs at 100% and is marginally improved at 200% - although I can't get an accurate selection in 10 attempts.Also in cs3 the Marquee tool's crosshair was 1 pixel thick and now in cs5.1 it is 3 pixels thick due to the white outline around it, I find this harder to use and unable to switch off.Selecting cursors 'precise' in preferences doesn't fix it

Is there a way to combine several multi-category schedules, so that the calulation of the total cost can be displayed in one final schedule?

I am using Revit 2013 and I am wondering if there is any easy way of getting my generic model schedules to get the length of the object without having to manually type it in?!
I have attached 2 images to explain what I am talking about. I have created my own countertops and decided for scheduling purposes it would work best to have them as generic models. As you can see from the "Counter Top Properties" image that it has the length of my countertop in the program, but as the "Counter top Schedule" Images shows I can not choose "Length" as an available field. I had to create a parameter for the length ("Length of Unit"), which is just a dimension parameter, and I have to type in manually what the length is. Is there a way to get my schedule to get that length dimension automatically without having to manually type it in!?

I created schedules inc. cost for Light fixtures, Lighting control etc. For each of the 3 schedules I was able to add the cost (based on the cost I put into the family). The problems I'm having are:
if i show the cost in the schedule view, it will show up on the sheet set. i just want to use if for cost estimating, but not show on the plans (i don't want to manually hide/un-hide all the time when i want to see the cost) - i could duplicate that schedule and hide the cos columns on the one i put on the sheet. but that seems archaic and doubles the number of schedules i don't see a way to combine the cost. Right now I only have 3 schedules and can add those up in my head, but like to automatically do that for many schedules. i know i could export to Excel.. but that takes away the whole "Revise instantly" idea and I want to be able to see right away what cost changes when I add or delete items.

there's an invisible 10px border around each object/shape. it's so frustrating when i'm working on small icons or whatnot.i'll try and give an example the best i can... say i have two squares overlapping and are offset from each other by a 5px or so. if i want to select the back square, i'd normally... click on the part of the square i can see. in cs6, if i just click on the visible part of said square, it would select the front square. i have to click at least 10px out from the back square to select it.

This is linked to me previous door query. We are working in a bit of a vacuum here and I am really interested to see how people set up their door families / types / instances for scheduling - as we are struggling to identify a 'best practice' approach.
At present we have set up a host family for the doorset that contains the opening and framing, with a nested doof leaf family in which is nested a door furniture family (and possibly vision panel face hosted family as well). It seems quite complicated, and in the current setup all the door / frame / leaf parameters are established in the door Type, and we have no Instance parameters other than Mark, level etc.
We are trying to set up a system where we will have Types for:
Main Door Assembly Type (dictates the frame type, overall fire and acoustic resistances)
Door Leaf Type (Thickness dictated by the fire resitance set in the host)
Door Furniture type (Door furniture set on the door leaf type)
We intend to have 'Door Furniture' nested in the 'Door Leaf' Nested in the overall 'Door Assembly'
There is another potential set of Types for the Door Frame / Architrave - which for the moment we have only as Profiles with their own parameters.
It does seem to be getting very complication, with lots of Types and I'm not sure whether that approach is worth the time in setting it up.
I was chatting to someone who says they deal with most of the parameters as instances within a handful of Door Types (1 Type for each main elevation appearance for a door, so 1 type may have instances of FD30, FD60, FD00, Veneer Finish, Laminated Finish etc.) This seems far simpler than our approach, but I'm not sure on the trade offs in flexibility.
I was hoping to set up a door family set that we could use from project to project that has quite a bit of flexibility. How do you arrange your doors / schedules in a typical project ?

Photo-PAINT fails to correctly determine the mouse pointer position.
No matter what you do, no matter which magnification level you're working in... any rectangle drawn is never put exactly where the mouse button was clicked or lifted.
(1) I've selected the image's edges while drawing a cropping rectangle. See the resulting cropping rectangle miss my selection for more than 3 pixels:
(2) I have selected the lower edges of the gray horizontal rules while drawing a cropping rectangle. See the resulting cropping rectangle miss my selection for more than 3 pixels again:

I use the elliptical tool to well...make an elliptical figure, I have issues when I stroke it.
It never gives me a solid stroke, it always has a feathery effect.
Is there anyway I can change this to a solid stroke?

I'm running CS2, and when i open a document of any type the size of the image isn't accurate. For example: when i open an image of 800x600 pixels and set the magnification to 100%, i should easily be able to see the whole image on my screen, however i can only see a small section of it. To view the whole picture i have to reduce the magnification to 25%.
When i look at the rulers at 100% magnification an inch for example displays as more like 2 inches.
I'm using a 20" monitor with a resolution of 1680x1050 so there shouldn't be a problem viewing these images at 100%

I have a bunch of objects on a CorelDraw page that together make up a button for a web page. I select all the objects: the toolbar tells me that the selection is 281px x 59px.
I press Export, selected only, the preview comes up. My button suddenly is 283px x 61px. Looking closely I can see a faint border around the actual button image.
What setting do I have to change to make it export what I tell him and not what he thinks?

I've been noticing in PS CS that when i SFW (save for web) or just plain 'save as' the colors always end up a bit lighter than the original. I have no idea what is going on, i've never played with the settings so I'm not sure what changed, and i thought it might have been the color modes (mode = RGB, working proof setup = cmyk) but nothing seems to make a difference. It could be that the document mode is RGB and i'm working in a proof setup of CMYK, but I don't know enough to tell. I would play with it some more, but I don't know what is default and what isn't. Its really a pain to have inaccurate colors when exporting, especially when working with gradients or light colors, where they are subtle already.

Just got started with GIMP as a trial to see if I don't have to buy Photoshop since I upgraded my Mac from powerPC to Intel...
The problem: When I want to use a tool and put the cursor over it, a tool about 15 icons below it gets selected.
I get this with the mouse and the pen tablet.
I use Mac OSX 10.8.2

I have noticed that the value I get when I use the surface volume comparison tool or look at a graded item in the grading group properties box is different than if I calculate it by hand and the discrepancy isn't even consistant. After spotting this problem in a job I am working on graded two simple ponds to check this. The first one is 100' x 100' and 5' deep w/ 2:1 side slopes. Calculating the volume by hand I get 1500 cu. yds but the grading group properties come up to 1506.17 cu. yds. The accuracy is off by less than 0.5% The second pond is 100' x 100' and 2' deep with 3:1 side slopes. The hand calc gets me 654.52 cu. yds. and the grading group properties reads 655 cu. yds. This discrepancy is closer to 7%. I really need to know if I can trust the volume tools in the program.

I have CS6 installed on Windows Vista 64x bit. Everything is fine except for some inaccurate metadata. Camera raw v 6.7 is displayed instead of the latest installed ver 7.1. Also lens serial numbers are not shown or are missing. In lens specification f/0 shows up which of course is wrong.

I try to export an illustration to eps with bounding box. When I import this e.g. with ghostscript, I get an error output like this:
GPL Ghostscript 9.05 (2012-02-08)Copyright (C) 2010 Artifex Software, Inc. All rights reserved.This software comes with NO WARRANTY: see the file PUBLIC for details.Displaying DSC file C:/Users/thomas/Documents/Konferenzen/ROSE2012/Grafiken/square.epsDisplaying page 1Error: /undefined in 1,00Operand stack:Execution stack: %interp_exit .runexec2 --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- 2 %stopped_push --nostringval.
[code]....
The problem seems to be at line "1,00 setflat".
I am using CSG X4 (SP2+hotfix) on a Win7 (32Bit) machine. I tried the following to figure out the problem:- varying export settings- using different programs to import (Ghostscript, Acrobat, CorelDraw)- trying complete re-install of CGS X4- changing the computer using the same version of CGS It seems that the eps export interferes with some system settings or installed printer drivers, but I am not able to isolate the problem. I would expect that the export filter is self-contained.
I tried to reproduce the problem with minimal content. The difference between the produced eps files may isolate the problem. A simple cdr-file, the produced eps-files and a snapshot of the used settings are in the zip-file located at URL....I assume that the eps files are built up from different resources but I cannot locate the involved files.

I'm attempting to create a room schedule for my floor plan that shows Room Number, Room Name, Area, and Ceiling Height. First off, I would like to tag the rooms with just the Room Number, and not both the number and name - can that be done? Second, I'm able to schedule the Room Numbers and Names correctly, but the Area and Ceiling Height columns are filled with ? marks.
This is strange because I can clearly see the space area in the properties tab when I click on each space. *In the attached screenshot, note how both the base area and space height are visible in the properties tab when I have a space selected.

i have created a door schedule and it seems to be missing the most important part, the sizes! When I go into Style Manager and click on the door shcedule and try to add columns size does NOT come up as a choice. I have added size to the property sets of the doors. I have tried everything I can remember from older versions of Autocad and it just won't put in this bit of information.
