Stood up

Someone was working hard in Revit, and in their model, in any view, when they would place a detail component or some annotation, they would not get the “preview” of the element before they placed it.  It would place fine.  Once they clicked where they wanted it to go, it showed up, but that ghostly indication of the element prior to clicking was no where to be found, all they had was their crosshairs*.

Heads were scratched.  Brows were furrowed.  We looked at visibility graphics, we looked at graphics options ,we minimized, we restarted, nothing.

Then, bam.  It hit me.  The current Workset!

As expected, his current workset was some crazy workset that was not loaded in his current session.  We turned his current workset to the proper one, and we got the annotation preview.

Here’s my guess at the long of it: detail and annotation elements don’t really live on the current workset.  They have their own “secret” workset that gets created for each view and that’s where they live.  When we were going to place the element, it was temporarily thinking it was going to go on the workset that was off, and if it were a model element, it would have placed on that workset, but then we would have gotten that awesome Revit warning that “you have placed the element, but you can’t see it”.  In annotation and detail’s case, you place the element, and it hops on the workset you CAN see.

So that’s it.  Check your current workset, which is really good advice for any day in Revit.

*The user actually didn’t say “crosshairs”… he said that all he could see what his “curser” which made me laugh to imagine a tiny foul mouthed individual yelling at him from his Revit model.

I felt left out.

I went to the Location Services tab in the Settings app on my iPhone and thought I activated the Twitter switch:

Alas, my tweets were still lost in an abyss.

Turns out, that’s not all you have to do if you want your tweets to have a geographic link.

Editor Cathy Hirko gave me the run down.

When you actually send a tweet, you have to click this little blue arrow to the right of the photo button:

Ugh. I feel dumb.

I don’t get how my friends hear from some random singers/bands/shows.
Recently, i’ve been looking at what people were linking on facebook and i saw my friend Jacob posting this video :



Isn’t he goooood ? I LOVE his voice & i really like his style of music.
J’aime découvrir de nouvelles choses
Ohh and Gaga’s new videoclip is out ! “TELEPHONE” featuring Beyonce :

This week was my march “break” & honestly, i haven’t done any shits.
I haven’t done anything for school and i’m very behind in all my classes… which really sucks.
In addition, i’ve been gaining SO MUCH WEIGHT. Its practically unbelievable…. and very disgusting.
I need to MOVE, do some sports or whatever.
Since my birthday, i’ve been eating like crazy. I eat when i’m outside and when i get home, i feel bad because there’s food made for me so i keep on eating until i’m super fully bloated and i tend to fall asleep really fast because i get home late ….and it turns out that i’m tired so yeah….
I almost forgot, i turned 19 years old last saturday. &
my birthday celebration at Ivy Nightclub turned out to be very bad. I collapsed and don’t remember anything of it.
Sometimes i think i should stop drinking that much…but i just can’t help it… i like drinking. I think it feels good even if it does tastes bad. I’ve been talking about that to Jenny before i got my lip pierced… and yeah …I don’t know..I know i’m not an alcoholic since i’m not addicted to drinking and i can easily not drink for like a few weeks…
Ok that statement was kind of hard to tell, since i’ve been going out/clubbing/partying everyweek for about 2 years now …
I need to gros up and find something to do …..
Oh well, Take care TORMENTEDWORLD readers.

PS : that guy i was suppose to see at my birthday, didnt come out afterall .
& now he’s in vacation.
I guess we were just meant to not see each other.
I remember back in the days, when i wanted to see him in class, he wouldn’t be there.
When i wanted him to sit next to me, he would be sitting at some random places.
Now, when he tells me to go see him, i never feel like it because we don’t have any friends in common.
When i’m the one asking him out, he’s always saying that he would pass by, but obviously, he never does.
Ah well, i guess i’m not gonna see him for like…another bunch of months.
I saw a picture tagged of him on facebook, and he looks ADORABLE.
I think he got more healthy because back in the days, he either was always sick or he had his intense allergies.
And now that he had a fresh haircut, he looks handsome
