View Cube - Orient to Plane

Orient to Plane could be a great tool except that Revit sucks balls and when I went to use it today it flipped my model upside-down and sideways, after having just used it in another view copied from the same parent view.  No way to correct it. Then it wouldn't undo so I lost my view.  Had to restart the program to get anywhere.  Running a Xenon dual core, 12GB Ram, 1.5GB video card.  Revit sucks balls.  I want my day back.  I fucking hate architecture right now because of Revit.  Support sucks dick.  Workarounds suck dick.  90% of available tutorials suck dick and never get to the meat and potatos and instead skirt around issues and fall short.  Yes, I know where the fuck the tool is located or I probably wouldn't even know to ask about it.  Show us how to use the shit.  A 500 page book is a joke.  I've spent more time trying to train on and learn shitty ass Revit than I have on hand drafting.  I don't want to spend 4years full time learning this stupid software.  I guess I could go work at a bigger firm where maybe we could share more answers but big firms suck for the same reason that Revit does so I'm back to square 1.  Fuck you if Revit comes easy for you and as always...

REVIT SUCKS BALLS

Why?

It's time that I finally put something out there because god dammit, I need to vent when it comes to using Autodesk products, specifically Revit.  The Autodesk Revit team seems to think that we the users (Architects, Engineers and others in the design field) ought to know programming language and software development at the level that they do (...or don't. I haven't figured it out yet).  They seem to think that we don't want to be in our actual professions and would rather trouble shoot their software all day.  I'm sorry but I hate Revit and the people on their team.  I'm not usually a hater.  Revit made me a hater over time, again and again and it gets worse every day.  They promise a battleship and instead give you only some of the parts, a few rivets and a welding torch with no direction at all and tell you, "Its the best thing out there.  Look at what we did with it!  Oh, but you're going to have to figure everything out on your own.  And we kinda didn't use the program at all to make the nifty graphic on the cover so that won't help you either.  Did you try looking on line?  We don't know how to explain our software very well.  In fact we don't actually write software any more.  We just buy companies, market them as our new product line and then let them fester for decades at the edge of possibly being useful."  So instead, the user ends up with some half-assed pile of a garbage barge because that's all the Revit dock would allow him build.  They also forgot a few things along the way like the fact the boats are supposed to float or that the materials taken from the ground need to be forged before anyone can use them as steel.  If I didn't get into bullshit "workaround" or zero solution scenario every fucking day with this $1500 program I might not be such a hater.  More to come but for now I'd just like to say that...

REVIT SUCKS BALLS.

End the insanity

The goal of this blog is to encourage others to either stop using Revit (if their office permits) or to give Autodesk such a hard time about it that they will have to start addressing our issues in a big way.  I encourage everyone else out there to start their own blogs about how much REVIT SUCKS BALLS so that someday we can set up a booth next to them in a few of the conferences they market at, present our major issues to passerby's and give them hell in general.  Peace to all (except the Revit team) and remember...
