Point taken, but... the OTHER Anonymous made a reference to "doing Plumbing and Fire." I assumed they meant "when Revit becomes more efficient at the way I want to do it." Revit "Does Plumbing and Fire" now. Super Efficient? Automagically? Push to CAD/CAM? Nope. Place pipes and fixtures in a virtual environment and have them facilitate engineering calculations?

Exactly, its always nice to have to buy an add-on package to get a piece of software you purchased to function the way you want.

Can I interest you in my add-on package that lets you add text to Microsoft Word?

On the other hand, this seems like just the opportunity some hotshot developer needs to make a killing.

Link works, but could not email to myself so I copied it into Word but the fomatting was lost and each line has a return at the end.

Now edited corrected and I now have a European sized A4 version.

Is this your work Erik? I would like permission to upload an A4 UK/Europe version with an acknowledgement and Authors details, plus link back to your original posting if I may?

On another note, you wouldn't happen to know Jon Brouchoud would you? He's doing some pretty cool stuff in Madison, as well.

Hi Erik, for the higher quality animation presentations, which are typically for the owners/developers benefit, we transfer the Revit files to Maya and do the animation and rendering in that application.

We do limited rendered animation in Navisworks as it as limitations compared to Maya.

For now, we have not used Synchro.

Our main objective is to use Revit &

We used Revit Structure and Navisworks for the VDC part of this project. If you would like to learn more, please email us at intelibuild@gmail.com

2012-01-16T08:36:26.015-07:00

Without having the file to dig through, it looks like the objects were rotated around different pivot points and using different axis (local vs. parent). I haven't run into a bug producing similar results (yet), so maybe redo the animation and double check you are using a single animation to rotate all pieces when the excavator turns. An extreme example of what not to do would be selecting

Nice fix, Luke.
Interesting that the invalid character is an umlauted y in your case as well.
I wonder where that comes from.
