If you've installed the Revit 2018 extensions and are receiving a Revit Precast - Warning when editing other model elements (for example, making changes to a curtain wall), you're not alone -- this warning is caused by a known bug in the Autodesk Structural Precast Extension for Revit 2018.

Here's a simple workaround while we're awaiting a new version of the extension that fixes this bug:

• Switch to the Precast tab in the Tool Ribbon.
• Click the Off button to disable Structural Precast for Revit.

You can also uninstall the Autodesk Structural Precast Extension for Revit 2018 using the Start Menu > Settings > Apps & Features dialog. 

A360 offers two ways of viewing your cloud-hosted Revit models -- thru the Revit application as well as thru the A360 website -- and this can create confusion about which version is being displayed:

• But when you open your model or download it from the A360 website, the last "published" version is displayed.

Read onward for details of how to control the version published on the A360 website and choose the views of model available on the website.

You can share your Revit structural models with ETABS for structural analysis and design by installing:

• the ETABS application
• the CSiXRevit connector add-in for Revit

Note: You must be connected to the Stanford network environment (on-campus or via the VPN) to use our network license for CSiXRevit 2018.

You can install the ETABS application on our computer to perform structural analysis and design by following these steps.

Bot & Dolly produced this work to serve as both an artistic statement and technical demonstration. It is the culmination of multiple technologies, including large scale robotics, projection mapping, and software engineering. They believe this methodology has tremendous potential to radically transform theatrical presentations, and define new genres of expression.

Innovators in many industries are finding new applications for 3D printing daily and the technology is now creating strategic business opportunities and empowering fundamental transformations in the way we get things done.

What does it mean, and where are we going?

As we begin a new academic quarter, I'd like to share a video that I've always found very inspiring...
