Advanced Revit Railings : Sliding Down the Railings One Transition at a Time (w/Revit Pure)

On this episode of BIM After Dark Live we will be talking Revit Railings! The Railing Tool in Revit is one of those things that people either love or hate (but mostly hate).

Nicolas Catellier, from RevitPure.com, will be joining me to discuss some of the discoveries he has made while having to create some REALLY funky railings, transitions, and extensions ...

Hopefully, Nick and I can help you learn to love the railing tool... Even for just one night. ;)

Join us live to ask questions and join the conversation!
