Win A Copy of My Revit Book at Autodesk University 2017

My friend Nauman Mysorewala, who is an architect, BIM manager, Autodesk Export Elite, and educator, will be giving away two of my books in his class at Autodesk University this year.

His class is: BLD125158 - Code Blue, Dr. Revit!—How to Resuscitate Corrupt Revit Models

Course description:

Is your Revit model corrupt or causing crashes? Is the team unable to work and is losing productivity? Increase your team’s efficiency by gaining expertise for diagnosing the root cause of the issue—whether it’s the model, the user, or the computer—and resolve the issue fast. This involves understanding various error messages, recognizing different types of data corruption and their sources, repairing or recovering corrupt Revit models, and learning best practices to minimize file corruption. We’ll go over analyzing the computer when Revit crashes or the model gets corrupted. You’ll gain a better understanding of the Revit backup procedures, as well as how to locate and restore the most current backup model. We’ll arm you with the knowledge and the tools required to analyze and identify issues using the journal files and slog files. Finally, we’ll review best practices for reducing the incidence of model corruption.
The class topic is worth attending alone, but if you also want to win one of two copies of the Autodesk Revit 2018 Architectural Command Reference book (co-authored by Jeff Hanson), be sure to attend his class.
