Get This Road Signs Revit Family Pack!

I just posted a road signs Revit family pack on my Buy Me A Coffee page. This never-released Revit content has 5 different road signs Revit family. All of them are parametric.

The family is in 2020 version, meaning they can be used on projects in 2020 version or later. Each family has an option that allows you to change the pole type (Round, Square and U-channel). You can also adjust the pole height as needed. 

As for the Speed Limit, ADA parking and Stop signs, there are additional parameters that allows you to adjust to suit your need. 

For example, you can change the speed limit on the speed limit sign family just by changing the text 

Be aware of the speed limit! 

For the Stop sign, you can toggle 1, 2, 3 or 4 way in the instant parameter. 

For the ADA parking sign, there is a toggle to turn the Van Accessible sign on/off. 

I built them many years ago as a fun side project back in the day. At the time, there were no proper road signs Revit families available. (Unfortunately, this is still the case.) I thought there were enough challenges to build them as parametric families because of the shape of the signs. Fast forward 10+ years later, they just sat there in my folders. 

So I decided to clean them up and update them to a more recent version. I made sure they are render-ready with material assigned to the content but you can also assign custom material with the material parameters in place. 

As a result, I decided to share them on the Buy Me a Coffee page. If you don't know anything about this site, it is a free platform that helps creators like artists, podcasters, and writers earn money from their fans and followers.

You can download this pack of 5 road signs family for a fee. It is a great way to support me as a content creator. 

I will try to make a video to showcase these families on my YouTube channel later. Go check out my page and hope you can support me there!

New Phil-osophy in BIM Platform

Howdy!

If you happened to see my last post (dated September 13,2023), you probably know I have a YouTube channel by now. This is something I have always wanted to do besides writing a blog. 

Going back to my first ever blogpost, that was well over 10 years ago. 

I know I haven't written many posts in the past few years due to many reasons (more like excuses). There are times when it is quite difficult to share my tips and tricks (among other things) with just words and images; being able to show the whole process in a video format makes a huge difference. 

After putting off years after years, I finally started the channel in 2022, then paused. In 2023, I pulled the trigger and went for it. My YouTube channel is named the same.

After several posts and months later, as of yesterday, I have over 100 subscribers!!! 

As I am writing this post, the subscriber numbers have gone up to 121!!!

I know this may be a small count compared to other YouTube channels. However, it does offer me some confidence to continue to share my passion in BIM, Revit, Architecture, and technology. 

I am hoping you will enjoy the new site, subscribe, and engage with me there. 

This doesn't mean this blog site is dead. I would still like to keep it running as long as I can. Well, that's it for now. I hope to see you on my channel soon!

Un-Masking Your Furniture

Check out this new video on my YouTube Channel. (Yes! I started my YouTube channel a while back!)

I covered this everyday common issue when it comes to using 3rd party manufacturer furniture content on projects. The "masking region" issue with furniture families has been around for many years now. They can be commonly found in the free Revit content from the furniture manufacturer's website.

Go check out this video to learn how to clean up this annoying graphic issue!

Also, subscribe to my channel if you want to see more content in the future. 😉

Season's Greetings 2022

It's that time of the year! I wish everyone to have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year in 2023! I have set my goals to add more content in 2023. Hope I can keep this promise to myself. (Giggles) I am trying something this year to kick this out as a GIF.

Here's the still image rendered in Enscape!

Cheers and all the best!
