My First official post...

Hello fellow blog-ers, working behind the scenes here at "RJ" and being badgered by our friendly neighborhood reviteer about posting something on here. I have found something post worthy, albeit this post is not entirely revit based, i feel that would fall under the "possible reviteering futures" category, not only that, but its freaking COOL! For those of you that are not familiar with TED,

TED is a small nonprofit devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. It started out (in 1984) as a conference bringing together people from three worlds: Technology, Entertainment, Design. Since then its scope has become ever broader. Along with the annual TED Conference in Long Beach, California, and the TEDGlobal conference in Oxford UK, TED includes the award-winning TEDTalks video site, the Open Translation Program, the new TEDx community program, this year's TEDIndia Conference and the annual TED Prize.

Taken from their website found here

This particular "Talk" revolves around a particular piece I "Listened" to from one of the TEDtalks from their Long Beach Convention a few years back regarding a "sixth-sense device"
Enjoy!



Think of the possibilities for the future...

Interesting? Share your thoughts!

File Saving....

It's been a while but now I should be back to more regular postings......

Today's post is about saving your work.

How many people will hit cancel when the save window pops up in Revit? I too am guilty of this, and boy can time fly by when you just keep hitting cancel.

So to set the save interval reminders go to the "Application Menu" (Big Purple R) scroll down to "Options" and on the "General Tab" set your options. I recommend 30 minutes.

Don't be the one to lose all of your hard work! Select save and not cancel.
