BTW. Web Update #3 is now available, as of yesterday. For those in the United States, Happy Thanksgiving to you... and hope to see you at Autodesk University next week. That’s correct. BTW.

You have to download the entire Update #1 build in order to apply the Update #2. Just FYI Update #1 is not included in WebUpdate #2.

After a few tweaks, I’ve found that I enjoy it immensely. It’s still a good idea to have both the 32 and 64 bit versions of Revit installed, so you can choose which is appropriate for a given task. (For instance, there is a known issue with 64, where you cannot export to ODBC - and others in the Readme.doc). The first thing to know about Vista is what features your system can and cannot run, and adjusting accordingly. The second, and perhaps more important, is to shut off User Access Control (UAC). Many software vendors require that you do this at least when you are installing software, so I keep it off always. Cheers. I have recently started using Vista x64 Ultimate inside a virtual machine.

Small firms can be the ideal place to nurture the change of a new processes, and business opportunities that ultimately come from switching to Revit. Particularly, with small firms that I've worked with, I find that you are more agile and able to phase in new tools in such a way that they complement your business, rather than disrupt the process of completing projects. We should definitely talk, feel free to call me anytime. I'm sending you my contact info. - Sean Mark,

We are currently using AutoCAD LT2008 and it is working well for us. I have been considering moving to BIM software, but I am concerned about the learning curve for my staff. What are your thoughts? Is Revit the way to go? Or would you recommend another software? -Mark Sean,
