How to pyRevit - Virtual Meetup with Philly Dynamo User Group

 All-

A utility that many of you may have noticed that dramatically expedites some processes in Revit is called pyRevit, a free utility created by Ehsan Iran-Nejad.

If you have yet to hear about this tool, I recommend visiting https://github.com/eirannejad/pyRevit

You can attend the webinar here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/how-to-pyrevit-tickets-116044104039

YAFSTL Virtual Event - Best Practices for using Enscape with Revit

Hey eveyone,
Hope all of you are well in this new normal we are living in!  Being safe and practicing all that social distancing stuff. 
With the absence of any upcoming STLRUG event, I wanted to bring your attention to a great virtual event coming up put on by the Young Architects Forum of St. Louis (YAFSTL) and the AIA of St. Louis.  The event brings one of the best speakers in the world on rendering in Revit with Enscape, and a good friend of the St. Louis User Group, Mr. Phil Read!

The event is on Wednesday, June 24th at 6 PM.  The registration link is below:

Our New Normal - Post 1

All-

I know many of us are still hard at work moving forward on our projects. While we are away and do not have the ability to converse with each other, I found a video from one of our leaders here, Brian Myers, about getting started in Navisworks over on LinkedIn.

I thought it was beneficial as I am starting to look into Navisworks and BIM360 for doing more coordination and I hope it will be beneficial to you as well.

Hopefully our new normal will not last long and we will be able to see each other again soon to resume our wonderful learning and socializing opportunities together.

Until then...

Ideate Software presented by Ellen Smith of Christner Architects along with Eric Bogenschutz of HOK

Ellen also presented Enscape:

Chris Link, our gracious host, provided two different applications. RushForth Projects and iConstruct links below.


And finally, Micah Gray from GMA Architects, looked at pyRevit, Dynamo, JOTools, and TwinMotion.




Also, here is a helpful script in Dynamo for turning off the Internal Origin point in Revit.


As mentioned at the meeting, we are looking at having a business meeting to discuss the STLRUG business that has not been discussed recently. We will look to have that meeting in mid- to late March. Be on the look out for an invite to that. This will not be one of our regular presentations.

And again, we will be having our Happy Hour in April after the AGCMO DCTC event.

Look forward to seeing everyone over the next couple of months.
