I'm excited to welcome Brian Mackey ("The Revit Geek") to the show to talk about how to detail in Revit... like a Pro! Some of the topics we will touch on include:
- Create intelligent details using Detail Items and tags, no text or lines
- Link 2D details to Model components via Global Parameters
- Link 2D details into multiple Revit files such that they all update
And, of course, we will be taking your questions along the way. Brian has a knack for including tons of great little tips and tricks when he demonstrates a topic... So, be sure to check this one out!
Sit back, relax, and lets geek out!
