REVIT Room Calculation Point CADclip
CADclips Announces New $39 and $99 REVIT Video Training Tutorial Subscription
The CADclip video tutorial below explains the above conditions and then some.
Furniture, Casework, Specialty Equipment, Generic Models, Doors & Windows Now Have Room Calculation Points managed from within the family editor.
In REVIT 2014 that is.
Prior to 2014 these MEP categories already had room calculation points. Lights, Electricical Equipment, Mechanical Equipment & Air Terminals.
When you are in th family editor you just need to turn on the room calculation point toggle and it appears as shown below.
In order for this control to be enabled the family category has to be 'room friendly'.
Room friendly means the element 'knows' what room it is in. When this happens you can include room information when you schedule the elements or you can include these elements when you schedule the rooms. It works both ways.
Here's an image of the elements in the family editor after the room calculation point has been enabled.

REVIT Skinny Parameters Button PERFECT !
I have made a small but consistant living on showing people the skinny, tiny, little parameters button on the REVIT properties palette.
Stretch the palette wider and that little sucker stays exactly the same size. Thank you. When training people I usually hold back on the existance of this little beauty until the time is right. Then BAM ! I blow their minds.
Thanks autodesk . . . who ever said you don't care about us trainers.

REVIT Halftone Tip for Sketch Mode
CADclips Announces New $19, $39 and $99 REVIT Video Training Tutorial Subscription
The 'Halftone' setting controls how bright or faint the existing linework displays when you go into 'Sketch' mode in REVIT. You can find the 'Halftone' setting under the 'Manage' tab on the ribbon.
I definitely do recall being annoyed in the past when you go into sketch mode and you have the pink / magenta lines and the rest of the model all but disappears.
I believe it may also depend on your monitor, resolution, video card and display settings. By default it usually works ok so this is why most people never come across the problem.
But when you do . . . . . . it sure is annoying.
