Unavailable. They have a File Path label (god knows why anyone would prefer this) but NO FILE NAME LABEL. What a bunch of fucktards. I don't want the whole world knowing our companies file path and server structure. It's a potential secutiry risk. Not to mention that a file path is just fucking stupid for most applications and can take up a good chunk of space on a page. Once again, I don't think Autodesk really knows what Revit is for. They obviously don't know thier customers very well. Text options in general are just awful. I'm so so so god dammed sick of ass holes coming up with excuses for why it's "the best thing out there".
If your car worked like Revit did, you would have to read the manual first and then add one small piece every time you went to the garage before you could final drive off with it a year later. If that was the best anyone could do and cars had only been out for a few years I think we could live with that becuase of the obvious benifits and the fact that we assume the product will probably get better because more people will get to play with it's form and applications.
Well well well, with Revit, the car industry (and this is mediphor) was already invented. And cars were almost built and ready to go. You could almost get in one and drive off. But Autodesk bought all of the other companies that were doing anything and put their development to bed. They bought Rockefeller before he could synthesize oil and market gas efficiantly. They bought Ford before he could finish making the first Model-T. They stopped contruction on the roads before they actually went anywhere. And then they layed it on everyone's lap and said here, "WE started the process now YOU go and finish it... but you can't do this, that or these other things. I mean you could theoretically do this or that but we've decided we won't let you and we're not going to tell you why."
Does it save me time in drawing sections? Sure. But only after I've had to customize every stupid feature in the program. If that doesn't tie your hands behind your back on a project enough, they decided not to allow any customization to Labels or Text in general. These fuck heads think they're Apple or something and can simplify everything. Well, great idea Autodesk except you forgot that the only way that EVER works is if you truly understand the user's intenent, offer a complete experience/tools in light of that and then only advertise to that extent. And that's taken Apple's entire reputation and lifetime to figure out, even still meeting some negative press from time to time.
Revit is just FUBAR'ed becuase they half-assed everything, did not understand what people would be using it for, misguided their market by not specifying what it's really meant for (CD's I'm told. And only CD's really). There is no "out-of-the-box" with Revit and it defeats the purpose of it's own existance by it's overall lack of usefulness and long winded requirements to get it up and running. And if you thought you could cutomize it to be the proper pinical of enlighted graphical bliss, they made sure there's no back door to do so. Merry Christmas!
REVIT SUCKS BALLS
