    My mission was to gather information needed to formulate our long term development plans. As a result. I focused all our discussions on high level issues. This doesn't mean that we are ignoring the smaller problems, only that I needed to keep my focus elsewhere during this series of sessions.
    The Revit National Conference just added to the success of this trip. I hope it will grow over the years and that we will be able to continue our participation.
    Dear David, I'd rather suggest you or your teammates should actually pay a longer-term visit to an architectural practice, let's say for a week or two, I am sure you shall get thousands of invitations....I mean, go to a firm, let them give you a real assignment and start doing the job yourself AND you shall, yourself, inevitably experience the burden of everyday tasks on your shoulders. I think this would do much better than meeting more people around the globe for the least possible time and shall give you the right guidelines as to how you should proceed..... All the little things of everyday workflow is what matters first, actually......the big concept comes afterwards...

    Respect to you and the mates.....

    Mix with the peons - yuck sounds too much like work. Seriously damn good idea - get in the trenches and toil in the vomit.

    This is already happening....maybe it's not David C personally, but Autodesk Consulting has been to many firms to help them with their Revit process and projects. The feedback they receive goes right back to the developers. I believe SOM and HOK have been involved in this process.

    To say that the big ideas come later is a bit short sighted. Revit is inherently a big idea (esp. when compared to, say, AutoCAD which is just big.) I'm all for fixing the bugs, but I switched to Revit because of the big idea, and I would hate to see the innovation put on hold to fix annoying elevation symbols or text boxes.

    We are wanting issues larger than those fixed which, if aren't, blow the big idea. Nice to have a good concept but the devil is always in the detail.

    What's blowing the big idea for you, Vince?

    In my job I get to see a lot of other people's work. So I get to see what the software needs. So far, we need
    • sloped walls without resorting to massing or in-place families
    • better architectural modeling tools (helical sweeps, lofting, more XYZ freedom come to mind)
    • parkade slab modeling tools (specify elevations at corners >> done)
    • better site modeling tools (roads and such)
    • a <Beyond> setting for elevations much like we have with plans
    Nobody around here needs improved tags or anything else nearly as much.

    They have...and boldly speaking for David...he spent the better part of two decades in the trenches as an architect (and cadd mgmt) so he's intimately aware of what we go through. It is why he got involved with Revit in the first place

    So are many of his cohorts in the factory. They will be the first to tell you that they value the first hand information they get from these visits, they just can't spend so much time at our offices that Revit doesn't attention right? Who's going to make sure FK is getting his code in on time?
