I'm sat here in the office scratching for work so I thought I would highlight some of my favorite tips and tricks that I've either discovered, stolen, or looked up, they may all even be on here on various forum posts but I need something to do, and I thought this may be helpfull: 1. Shotcut keys - If you go into the shortcutkey.txt file in programfiles/revitarch2010/program/ you can assign shortcuts to your most used features. My most used is 'mm' for measure between two references, saved me 1,000s of clicks a week 2. Canopys - when I make a canopy in revit I use sloped glazing, give it mullions, and change the panels to a transparent solid panel, quick easy, and looks great 3 Walkthroughs - to add spice to a walkthrough I make it walk up a staircase, my trick is to write down key elevation values from my section and use them to make my walkthrough appear to climb stairs. (I Have also used this to fly around a building) 4 Cladding - Cladding I use a Curtain wall and set the solid panel to the cladding material. This means I can use the curtain grid lines to align window cills and door to the grid line to tidy up the panel lines instead of trusting a bump which never sits around elements perfectly 5 Ridge tiles - For added piece of detail, edit a fasia board to a triangle sat vertically but referenced horizontally, you can quickly and effectively add a ridge tiles to your roofs, giving added effect and definitions in minutes Any my favorite tip is to always, ALWAYS render reigon first to check everything looks ok before you waste 20minutes doing a massive High Quality render and you find out a bump hasn't applied Hopefully If you have read this and found it useful, or if you have a favorite tip and saves you hassle on revit post it below, I'm always keen to learn new tricksRegards
