Set line-wheights to 0? Turn line-wheights OFF? Well FUCK YOU for asking.

Heaven forbid anyone would ever want to go old school and make a PDF from a VECTOR based plot.  50% of why vector is even used is for line wheight control outside of the program.  The other 50% is for what is basically an infinate zoom in or out to whatever you want.  (In this case I wanted things to appear on an 8.5" x 11" PDF - even when I zoom way the hell in to look at something that would normally be to small to read on physical paper, like text.  Yes there are lot's of reasons for this - not having to set up a new sheet at a different scale, or add a sheet to the file size, or just adding and organizing even more documentation in general, or becuse someone wants to use the vector image to do more with zoom-ins and crops later down the road, etc...)

So what does Revit's Vector based plot option do?  Exactly the opposite of just that.  What a bunch of fucktards.  So you dumbshits at Autodesk can go through the trouble of programming the damn thing to plot an actual measured linewieght of 1 but you can't handle adding an option for NO linewheight or ZERO just like they had in CAD?  For all of the obvious reasons it was done in CAD?  For over 30 some odd years of rational, implimentation and use?  You can do in on screen with the keyboard short-cut "TL" so obviously you must understand the concept which means you're just FUCKING LAZY.

Oh and why the fuck don't my columns print in red even though they're clear as the light that shines from your ass holes on screen, in sheet and in every view I have?

Go fuck yourselves Revit team.  Once again,

REVIT SUCKS BALLS.

Shared Parameters - OMG

There are no words at how hugely annoying they made this feature.  How the fuck do they leave out things like hard returns?  Fuck it.  I don't even want to write about it.  Searching for answers is like pulling teeth with these dick heads.   I'm closing the program and going home.

Someone else thinks so to.

A Most Excellent Assessment of Autodesk

Please view the link below for what I found to be an excellent description of just how these shit-heads at Autodesk operate:

Text Alignment

Oh boy oh boy.  What a great tool for NOT accomplishing what I set out to do.  Added a text box to the bottom left of page.  Set it to Left Attachment - Bottom, Horizantal Align - Left.

Does not work whatsoever.  Tried fidling within the editing commands but nothing.  Oh, here's another forum where everyone goes in circles about nothing becuase no one at Autodesk gives a fuck.

Revit team.  Do you even exist?  Fuck Revit.  And remember kiddies...

REVIT SUCKS BALLS

Shared Parameters

Shared Parameters...

FUCK YOU.

Shit should be automatically exchanged with an option of yes or no.  Once again we all pick up the slack for these ass holes.  I'M NOT A PROGRAMMER!!!

REVIT.  SUCKS.  BALLS.

Revit - Consistently Over-promises and Under-delivers. Buy Buy Buy!!!

The Autodesk Revit team seems to think that we, the users (Architects, Engineers and others in the industry), 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.  Uh oh, here comes another one of my analogies:

Revit promises the tools to build and navigate an aircraft carrier and instead gives you maybe half of the parts, a few generic rivets that aren't quite ready for use and a welding torch with no fuel and then tells you;

"It’s the best thing out there.  Look at what we did with it!  You should be able to whip something out in no time.  Oh, and now that you've literally payed us for this great privilege of using our parts and tools we'd like to sort of hint on a few things ...like ...well  ...you're going to have to figure everything out on your own  ...using this endless stack of manuals that don't really teach a process as much as list the tools you're already aware of.  And we kinda didn't use any of the parts or tools we provided to you at all to create that nifty finished graphic shown on all of the manual covers so don't expect those kinds of results.  Did you try looking for help on line?  We don't know how to explain our tools very well.  In fact we don't actually make or develop the tools any more.  We just sort of buy other people’s tools, brand them as our own and then sell them as a new product line ...while simultaneously letting them sit and fester for decades at the very edge of possibly being useful. By the way, would you like to renew you're lease on Water with us?  If you don't we'll double the price next time you consider it.  Sorry.  This might come as a shock to you since you’ve never had to subscribe to Water in the past but it's just business.  It’s a simple matter of supply and demand you know.  I mean it's not like we have Oceans of water on this planet."

So instead, the user ends up with some half-assed pile of garbage on a rusty barge because that's all the Revit dock would allow him a permit/code to build.  They also forgot a few things along the way like the fact the boats are usually supposed to float or that the raw materials taken from the ground need to be forged and processed before anyone can use them as steel.

I get into a "workaround" or no solution scenario every single time I use Revit.  This is about a $1,500 program.  If you are considering a career with it, become a software developer first.  That is the only way you will get the time to design and work rather than troubleshoot the software all day, every day.

REVIT.  SUCKS.  BALLS.

Thought:
Is selling Revit the same as selling bottled water?

Answer:
Yes.  But you can do more with water.
