Revit 2009 Platform Update

Autodesk has released the new Web Updates, Service Packs, or Builds (wish they would stick with a name) for the Revit 2009 platform.

What is new for this release is that you are now able to install just the "update" to an existing installation.

Here are the links of note.

Revit Architecture 2009 downloads
Revit Structure 2009 downloads
Revit MEP 2009 dowloads

There is of course a very LONG list of fixes / improvements that you can find from the links above.

For subscription customers, you can now download the 64-bit version of Revit. I used the beta of Revit Architecture 64-bit on a couple different Dell workstations with either 4GB or 16GB of RAM running XP 64-bit and saw noticeable stability and performance improvements.

You can download the 64-bit versions of Revit from the Autodesk Subscription site. On the left side of the screen you will see "Product Downloads". Click on that link and you will then be able to download the 64-bit versions from the list. Keep in mind that you need to be running a 64-bit operating system in order to use these versions of Revit.

    When I log into subscription I can't find the file for the 64 Bit Revit. Can you send me the link?

    Thanks,

Navisworks 2018 Database Link w/ Excel - Primer

For this demo, I am going to use the Gatehouse sample file that ships with Navisworks 2018. You can find the files C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Navisworks Manage 2018\Samples\Gatehouse\. If you have a newer or older version of Navisworks, the process basically works the same. The Process In order to connect an external data source such as an Excel spreadsheet or an Access database to a Navisworks model, we need to configure a DataTools within Navisworks. We will then be configuring the database connection. When working with the DataTools in Navisworks, there are a few very important rules to keep in mind. If you are using a 32-bit workstation, then you need to utilize the 32-bit ODBC drivers. 64-bit workstations need to utilize 64-bit ODBC drivers. It is also important to note, that the link to Navisworks is one way. Data can be linked and viewed inside of Navisworks, but the data can’t be updated within Navisworks. My workstations are all Windows 10 64-bit workstations. My PC’s are using

Navisworks - Multiple Iterations and Locked Files

Image
While working in Navisworks and you find that you are updating your models frequently, you have probably ran into the issue of having to close your Navisworks model in order to update your appended model. There is a quick way to get around this. In the Options Editor >  Model   > Performance , make sure “Close NWC/NWD Files on Load” is checked. This will now allow you to overwrite NWC files without unloading them in your NWF file. So when you have an updated NWC that has overwritten the existing file, you just need to refresh Navisworks for the new model(s) to load.
