All are welcome; all I ask is that you let me know ahead of time (at least 2 days prior). Please email me if you plan on attending and how many you will be bringing. My email address in cryptic form is my first initial (j) last name (balding) @ watg.com (anti spam)

Thank you and good day –

You aren't going to pull any of that "sign this NDA so I can show you a sneak preview of 7.0" again, are you??

Last meeting:
JB: :twisted: "Hey look...7.0!"
The users: :shock:
JB: :P "April Fool's"

[Jim Balding]

Just keeping you on your toes.

I am thinking about showing 8.1 this time ;)

Any chance you could relocate the meeting to Malibu? Getting to Newport Beach from Santa Barbara through Los Angeles rush-hour traffic is near impossible. :cry:

Since I can’t make to your meetings I my have to start my own user’s group up here. I am thinking l like the sound of…

CCRUD - Central Coast Revit Users Dynasty

[Steve_Stafford]

Can you rent a cannon? :shock: :D

There is another users group just starting in the LA area. Check with LA CAD for location. http://www.lacad.com/home_aec.html

Or, I'll just post it here!


Los Angeles Revit Users Group Meeting

Our first meeting went very well and we thank all those who attended and to Randy Johnson from Autodesk for his excellent presentation. We had a diverse group, from small to big firms. It was exciting to see how many different ways everyone was applying Revit to their particular discipline.

At our next meeting on May 25th, we will continue our discussion on the implementation of Revit and its impact on the Design Process. We will also review the latest industry news.

Tom Weir will also be presenting a recent project he has been modeling, as well as some "families" that he has been creating, and show how they were developed. Please bring one of your projects and families too.

The meeting hours will be 5:30 PM to 8:00PM, and pizza will be provided by L.A. CAD. Computers and projectors will be available. Come and get your Revit t-shirt!

To RSVP. please contact Precious Yong at 213-534-1812.
