Hey everyone! Big news: I’m moving my ramblings from revit.com.au to digitalbbq.au! This change is more than just a URL – it’s a complete refresh in content and approach. I’ll be honest, revit.com.au started to feel a bit limiting for me over the past couple of years, and it’s time for a change. I’m breaking →
A user reported a minor bug when selecting the 2021 file format option that the models were incorrectly →
The Revit batch unit conversion tool has been updated to work with Revit 2021. For those not familiar →
Have you ever noticed that sometimes when you download model source files from BIM360, sometimes they’re a singular →
Top tip from a co-worker, the new Desktop Connector 13.x allows you to clear the Desktop Connector cache, so if you’re someone that is limited on space or wants to clear up old project data, then this is for you! This isn’t the same cache as your C4R/BIM360 cloud model cache, but rather the cache →
Over the years I’ve experienced that Autodesk’s Desktop Connector can at times be a little finicky after updating. →
Alrighty, calm down! I know C4R is the old and BIM360 is what we mostly work with now, but it was a long time ago when I created this handy little tool.. and “BIM360 Cache Cleaner” doesn’t quite have the same ring to it. You might remember a post I made a while back about →

So even though in the BIM world we produce models, guaranteed every project that you’re currently working on you’re also contractually obliged to produce drawings. Drawings require things like notes and symbols, legends and linestyles.. and sheet or view references. When you have a large architectural background or piece of linear infrastructure, you need to →
This is one I have unfortunately come across too many times, you notice that you can’t access BIM360 →
Over the years, I’ve seen some interesting Revit content. One of the doozies though always seems to be →
The drawing status is maybe overlooked as something simple, but there are many different ways to approach it, some being more cumbersome to mange than others. Checkboxes First we have the instance based checkbox. It’s a great method if you have something like Ideate BIMLink available to you, or a well developed Dynamo graph, but →
I’m the kind of guy that uses Dynamo for practical things, an indispensable swiss army knife that I →
