Testing: Revit Architecture 2008 and 2009 with Riverbed Steelhead Appliance and Steelhead Mobile

For those that are interested, here is the application performance tests of Revit Architecture using Steelhead and Steelhead mobile. I have been using the Riverbed Steelhead appliance and Steelhead Mobile on my laptop and they have been performing extremely well.

These results were presented at Autodesk University 2008.

What NOT to do in Revit - Item #4 - Use the wrong object category

​When working in Revit, real world objects are broken up into several different object categories. For the most part, these make sense. But we can get into trouble when you use a Roof or a Wall object to model something other than its intended purpose. For example, it is not uncommon for us to want to use a Wall object to create bathroom our module office furniture partitions. Bathroom and module office furniture partitions are walls so why not use a wall? The main reason is related to material and element quantities. If the Revit model is being used for estimating takeoffs, then the estimator without knowing could count the bathroom or module furniture walls as real walls in this takeoff. The best practice is to create a Revit family for these types of real world objects. Initially it might take a little longer to create, but in the long run, it will provide easier editing and flexibility.

When is the last time you thought about the Press & Drag function? If you are like me, it was probably when I read Steve Stafford's Revit OpEd blog when he discussed Revit 2014's selection features For Revit 2013 and previous, the Press & Drag (Figure 1) button is located at the bottom left corner of the Revit User Interface. It can be enabled and disabled by clicking the checkbox. Figure 1 - Press & Drag (Revit 2013 and earlier) In Revit 2014, Press & Drag has been renamed Drag Elements on Selection (Figure 2). It can be enabled and disabled by clicking on the icon (Figure 2) or by clicking on the Modify dropdown button and checking or unchecking Drag Elements on Selection (Figure 3). Figure 2 - Drag Elements on Selection Figure 3 - Turning on and off Drag elements on selection By default, Press & Drag is checked (enabled). When checked it will allow you to Press and Drag any object with one click. In short, it is a shortcut to moving an object....
