Revit Basics – Pick Lines

This is an excerpt from an article that I wrote for AUGIWorld.

Instead of drawing a line, wall, grid line, etc, between two points, select the Pick Line and then select another line, grid, element, etc to create the desired element.  Add an offset to the pick lines (on the options bar), and very quickly create elements, such as grid lines, with accurate spacing.

Revit Basics – The Filter Button

This is an excerpt from an article that I wrote for AUGIWorld.

When multiple items are selected, it is a common practice to use the Filter option that appears on the Ribbon’s Modify/Multi-Select Contextual Tab only when multiple items are selected.

Alternately, one might use a keyboard shortcut such as “FF” to activate the filter.  One may have even noticed that there is a tiny filter symbol at the bottom right of the screen, on the Status Bar.  What is lesser known is that clicking on this symbol will activate the filter command.
