Philip Chan presented on using curtain wall systems in Revit Architecture for non-traditional applications. He discussed how curtain walls can be used for theater seating, parking spaces, trellises, casework and metal roofs. Chan explained the components of curtain walls, like curtain panels and mullions, and how to model different behaviors and connections. He encouraged the audience to think creatively about using curtain walls beyond typical facades. The presentation concluded with a question and answer session.

The document discusses the Guardian Open Platform which provides access to the Guardian's content through an API. The API offers rights-cleared content in three tiers of access and has been successful in increasing developer happiness, productivity, and the internal usage of the API. However, the document notes that more can still be done to improve external data references and reduce the gap between self-service and high-touch support. It promotes further opening of the Guardian's content creation process, rights management, and commercial models.

This document discusses how to create an API that developers love. It emphasizes the importance of solving developer pain points, using common standards like REST and JSON, providing thorough documentation with code samples in multiple languages, and reliable long-term support. Well-designed APIs at companies like Netflix, Twitter, Foursquare, Stripe and Twilio are used as positive examples. The document encourages aligning business goals with developers' needs, committing to API maintenance, and being available to help developers whenever needed.

- The document discusses using nested profile families in Revit to create more robust and parametric families. - It provides three exercises demonstrating how to use nested profiles to control rotation, void visibility, and exposed structural beams in families. - Nested profiles allow families to be driven by linked parameters, reducing the need for constraints and enabling more complex geometries.

This document discusses using the curtain wall tool in Autodesk Revit in creative ways beyond its typical uses. It begins by explaining the basic anatomy of a curtain wall system, including curtain grids, mullions, and panels. It then provides several examples of using curtain wall elements unconventionally, such as for tilt-up concrete wall panels, precast concrete panels, corrugated metal panels, custom millwork, wood slat screening, and snow/snowflakes. The document concludes with best practices for these alternative uses, such as setting "Disallow Join" and ensuring profile lines form continuous boundaries. Overall, the document explores thinking "outside the box" to utilize Revit's curtain wall tool for innovative design

This document discusses using the curtain wall tool in Autodesk Revit in creative ways beyond its typical uses. It will cover how to create custom curtain wall families to generate quantity schedules and showcase real-world examples. Attendees will learn how to use curtain walls as an alternative solution, understand nested families, and create their own design elements with the tool. The presenter is the BIM manager at Lake|Flato Architects and will provide best practices for using curtain walls.
