RST: Did you know?
Revit Structure, did you know that you can attach a framing elevation to a reference plane that has been given a name?
Most everyone knows that framing elevations *want* to attach to a grid. And you can create a copy of a framing elevation and lose the 'datum' attachment, thus requiring assigning a workplane if you try certain things like putting in a brace.
But placing a framing elevation based on a named reference plane could be the trick to use in some circumstances... like a framing elevation not based on a grid!

Been a little quiet
Posting to a blog is a little like a river, with ebbs and flows.
There, did you like that little adage? Good!
Anyway, the latest news is that AUGI has just entered the nomination period for a special election to be held to fill empty Board of Director seats.

Keep on eye on www.augi.com and vote when the time comes!

Vote for Sessions for AU 2009
Dear Autodesk User,
Last year, for the first time, we (Autodesk) asked the AU Community to help us select the best 600-plus sessions for AU 2008, and the response was invaluable. This year we'd like to do it again.
If you are considering attending AU 2009, please take a few minutes to vote for those sessions that you absolutely want to see. Your votes will help us select not only the best sessions, but will also give us some insight into the most popular ones to help us schedule them at the best times and locations.
How to Vote
To vote for sessions, go to the Autodesk University Session Selection page and log in using your AU Online username and password. If you do not have an AU Online account, it only takes 15 seconds to register as an AU Online member.
Topics can be looked up by product, speaker, or industry. You will be able to read the entire submission (unedited) and vote on several criteria. Please limit your votes to approximately 20 sessions.
The voting deadline is Friday, May 8 at midnight PDT.
What's Next?
Over the next few weeks, the AU team will review all of the class proposals. Final class selection will be made based on your input, that of industry experts, and speaker feedback that we received from past AU conferences. We expect class selection to be completed by mid-June and hope to publish AU 2009 class selection by late July.
Registration for AU will start on August 12, and one week earlier for AU members. Class schedules will be available for review by late July.
Thank you in advance for helping us select the most interesting and relevant classes. Be sure to vote before May 8.
