What's the point? Does this fix the Autodesk 360 Cloud? How many AutoCAD users probably have no clue about anything 3D and technology related...they're pointless.
Users who try to index FARO (.fls) files, of the new format, will now be able to index the files and open/attach them in their product. This hotfix updates the FARO files on the users machine.
Please select the correct hotfix for your operating system and refer to the associate readme file for installation instructions.
We needed to order a new toilet for our house. Where does one even start to look for comparisons in toilets? What do you look for? Comfort? Elegance? Flushability? Our contractor recommended a Home Depot special, but I wanted something a little nicer.
While wandering through the Kohler website, I found a nice looking dual flush model. I'm sharing this with you because I was so impressed with the Kohler website from an informational point of view. How many times have you gone to a website to find a spec, dwg, rfa file or other information and had to go and look in several places to find what you needed.
Well, Kohler gets it right. Not only are there images, but the have specs, installation, pricing and everything else you would need all on one page. Anything that makes it easier for an architect to get the information they need for a project makes it more likely that one would use their products in the plans and specifications. Having Revit families helps a lot too.
Yesterday, we had a tile vendor come and do a lunch and learn. I asked them if they had Revit families. I got that "I have no idea what you are talking about" look with the word Revit, so I showed her some stuff, renderings with tile and told her how valuable Revit would be for them. How so many vendors and reps are still ignorant of our needs is beyond me, but I'm trying every day to educate them and hopefully, some day soon, we'll all get what we need, when we need it.
How about an iPad app too, so you can sit with a client and easily go through products and have a method to mark the items you like and download them or email the website links to make your job easier. Or just imagine you're sitting on the toilet, looking through the iPad app trying to find the perfect toilet. Now, that's multitasking.
Persuade®Comfort Height® two-piece elongated dual flush 1.0 or 1.6 gpf toilet, less seat
K-3723-0
Persuade®
The Persuade Collection captures the essence of modernity in subtle curves and clean lines. With its sleek symmetry, this two-piece Persuade Curv toilet adds style to the bathroom without sacrificing water savings. The toilet flushes with the press of a button, offering the choice of 1.0 or 1.6 gallons per flush. The high-efficiency 1.0-gallon flush setting reduces water use by more than 30 percent over the 1.6-gallon mode, which adds up to potential water savings of more than 5,000 gallons per toilet, per year.

Elongated bowl offers added room and comfort.
Comfort Height® feature offers chair-height seating that makes sitting down and standing up easier for most adults.
Top-mount two-button flush offers a choice of 1.0 or 1.6 gallons per flush (gpf).

Two-bolt installation.
Water Conservation & Rebates
WaterSense® toilets meet strict EPA flushing guidelines, including using at least 20 percent less water than 1.6-gallon toilets.
Eligible for consumer rebates in some municipalities.
This product can help a building earn Water Efficiency points in the LEED® Green Building Rating System.
With over 800 classes, it's just about impossible to dissect the schedule for the classes you want to take. So, I made a nice schedule that is sorted by day, then by time slot, then by track type.
That way, you can quickly pick a time slot and see all of the architecture, design, BIM or other classes you want to take.
For an extra bonus, there's are columns showing keywords like Revit, Navisworks, BIM, IPD, etc, so you can filter for what you're looking for.
You better hurry as classes are already filling up. Our company has 4 classes and one has already been maxed out, but we're hoping for a larger room for more people.
