Nice conversation guys!
Great Video
Thanks for hosting me on the channel, and keep up the great work! We need more female BIM/digital role models and you're going to inspire many more no doubt. Also I think it's time for me to get a new microphone haha....
Thank you for the encouraging words as always! It was my pleasure hosting you as well!
Name a more iconic duo I'll wait
This video was incredible. For me, you two have been a great source of learning and ideas to use in revit and bim in general. Congratulations!😄
I thought I was the only one who didn't like design after completing 5 yrs of architecture ;)
Awesome, well explained! You got a laugh out of me at the end with the '27!?'
I had to add that in for dramatic effect haha. Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for having me Victoria. It was a fun chat. Looking forward to more of these, and we should have you on CDSA soon!
Can't wait!
Do the parkings go back into Revit as usable families?
Hello. Yes, the app was programmed to produce JSON files, which allowed us to recreate the parking bays as families in Revit.
Tried somany times ...Not working for me...:(
Hi! Can you try the EP1 Code Along with me video? It’s potentially something to do with your Visual Studio setup. Are you getting any errors or warnings you could share?
@@BIMMentor Thanks Victoria for the reply, I tried EP1 and following your videos sequentially, Previous episode worked well, Got no error in this episode codes but 'Addin' file not loading while revit start. is there any mistake in my manifestation file?

it's amazing that it worked with Chat GPT 3.5. With current Chat GPT 4 or 4o would be even more reliable.
Finding good quality beginner friendly content is rare this days, so thanks!!! First Revit API video that doesn't make me wanna run away before I start!!! 😄
I know what you mean! I feel exactly the same way and I aim to keep my videos simple and short. We all have lives!
This is cool. I would like to build my dynamo scripts in C# as a add in one day but I have no idea how you would handle C# with geometry sorting. Like my room elevation script. Would it even be possible with the curve sorting I have in the script?
where can I see your script?
@@BIMMentor I think they take my comment down for the link. Can find the link on my page. "Room Plans". Removing certain length curves. Grouping by vector then grouping by distance and taking one line to join to others to get correct elevations. Will be awesome if you can take a look and tell me the possibility!
Good overview of C#! Keep making more cool stuff 💪
Thank you EriK!
Hey, Ms. Victoria! i follow you on LinkedIn, and this content helped me make my external tool visible on my Revit 2023. i am working in mechanical design, and lately i had trouble seeing the Navisworks export add-in on Revit after reinstalling Revit 2023 . on the Autodesk website, someone posted that to fix that issue, i needed to install the add-in manually, and your content helped me achieve that. However, i still don't know how to make the Navisworks export add-in visible on Revit after being able to fix the external tool visibility issue i had. Can you help with that ? ( sorry for the grammar mistake; English is not my first language.)
More power to both the girls🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
as my OG Subscriber, you get to pick which video you'd like to see on the channel as we hit 1k! I'll try my best to make it happen.
Very insightful - from Arch to BIM to Product!
Wow it worked, God, you are making me lazy. 😂
😅 you’re welcome. Hardwork is overrated 😂
Wonderful setup and walkthrough. Thank you so much! I'm just now beginning my python journey so I can use it for dynamo (and possibly other purposes). Would you recommend python or C#? Both?
Had a chat about this with the Structural Engineer. I think, if you’re on this channel you might as well start with C#, but if you find it a bit much, Python is a good way to ease into programming concepts. Either way, pick any one and start trying to make a project as fast as you can. It’s transferable knowledge
@@BIMMentor I really appreciate your thought on this. Thank you
Thnx for the tutorial! My MVS doesn't show potential fixes, did I miss something to activate that?
Check if the IntelliSense option is enabled in Visual Studio. Go to "Tools" > "Options" > "Text Editor" > "C#" > "IntelliSense" and make sure the "Show completion list after a character is typed" option is checked.
Awesome chat, some great tips here! Appreciate the shout out too
But maybe the aim here is to create a whole package without missing any information on the way, I guess and that´s why you have this other way of getting the icon. I have to keep trying I guess. What I mean is you saved the image too in the same place.
you can save the icon anywhere as long as you adjust the URI to match it. Its usually easier to hardcode things in the same folder for installation purposes later!
@@BIMMentor this is the first time I was able to create two panels and had two different push buttons calling different classes. I am thrilled. Thanks a lot for your lovely explanation 🤗
Everything else is fine but the image code dint work for me but fortunately i got this code to help me out Uri urlImage = new Uri(@"C:\one.png"); BitmapImage bitmapImage = new BitmapImage(urlImage); pushButton1.LargeImage = bitmapImage;
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Glad you enjoyed it! If only more complex codes could be explained in such a short time!
True, please don't limit yourself for the sake of just making them smaller. You have immense talent of explaining things the right way.🎉
You have to love a quick and precise video. Great Job.
Thank you!
Nice video, I really like the slides and the beginning you gave a very clear and concise explanation of how the start up and the on shut down works as well as what an external application is. ❤ good job. Keep up the great work.
The first feeling was that some parts of this conversation should’ve happened somewhere offline, but so many valuable things said that can be useful to young professionals.
I'm actually curious to know which parts, might help me trim it down as it seems quite long at the moment
Great talk and I really liked the point at the end about not getting distracted by the shiny new toys of tech. Also, I’d like to learn more about having an “Information Management team”. A high-level overview of how different companies do BIM Management by company size would be great!
Interesting suggestion, will definitely think of something!
very interesting conversation. looking forward to watching pt 2!
Was really good fun chatting with you!
Likewise! Looking forward to any opportunity to do so again! :)
Thank you a lot, it is very helpful
You are welcome!
Well done @The BIM Mentor, Kindly arrange your videos in sequence from start to finish. For instance, after watching the second video, which is supposed to be the first on the list. I get stocked as to the next video to watch. Once again, well done.
I didn't realize the playlist was getting reshuffled, will take a look!
No new videos ? Exciting, waiting for the next.
Will keep them coming as fast as I possibly can
I find the ACC/BIM360 suits a general contractor more so than a subcontractor. sharepoint is great as a customisable CDE for smaller teams. I think partnered together they are great with ACC/BIM360 purely for model management with collaborate pro
Sharepoint is limited in functionality for engineering files (Revit) and so rarely works well as a CDE, its best suited to document management related work for Contract Admin and so on, ACC/BIM360 works well for consultants as well, or anyone who has a model deliverable really
@@BIMMentor yea I wouldn't wanna host models on SharePoint,I just mean for other documents the review process in ACC build isn't that fluid with multiple people I find
great work, keep it coming. Thanks
Thanks, will do!
Thank you so much for this video, it's such an insightful one. I have these questions, please: 1) Where do you suggest a newbie, who just left university and wants to pursue this career path, to start from 2) Please, apart from the BIM A plus program, are there other schools with scholarships or at least an affordable fee you can recommend for someone who wants to venture into this career path?
You might want to watch my latest interview with Jacqueline Rohrmann as we discuss a little about how to start, there is no real recipe but visibly showcasing your work and reading/watching every resource you can on BIM certainily helps as it gets a little bit clearer as you gain more knowledge. After my BIMA+ master I stopped looking into schooling options so I don't know much else unfortunately, but I know a few people who have done the Ziggurat Masters in Global BIM Management. Generally speaking BIM is an office based skill, and education helps but is not strictly required to make the transition.
@@BIMMentor Ok, thank you so much. i really appreciate. please, can i get the link to the interview video?
Easily understandable....Great Job!!!
Glad you liked it!
I'm Chilean, and years ago, remember I walked the streets of Spadina and St. Clair in Toronto during a harsh winter. This video was very helpful for introducing C#, actualiity use python for app to revit.
well I hope you're willing to give C# a shot!
You are Perfect!!!!!!! Thanks, I will try to do an external Application now, not a command. Thanks so much for this!
You're welcome!
I'm about to step up from Python to C#. Your video is really useful. Thank you.
You're welcome! Glad you are enjoying it
Thanks soo much for this Victoria
No problem 😊
Thanks soo much for this I appreciate it. I am finishing my BIM masters this September and have been looking for something like this.
Best of luck!
happy i came across your channel. I'm an architect, your content is focused on a very niche parts of architecture with scarce contents. Thank you very much for this.
Glad you enjoy it!
