September 2011 Members Meeting
NOTE > New venue @ RMIT Building 94 & new start time of 6:30pm
Apologies to all for the delay in getting our invites out for our September meeting, as you may appreciate, we have had to secure a new venue as the inevitable demolition works at the AIA are about to commence. Unfortunately we were unable to secure our new venue at the usual starting time of 6:00pm so we will be starting at 6:30pm. We will still finish at 8:00pm as usual.
The venue for the upcoming meeting will be: Level 1, RMIT Building 94, 23-27 Cardigan Street, Carlton
Please note that Street Level is Level 2, so head downstairs as you enter the building. On-street parking is usually available on Cardigan Street, and there is a paid car park next door off Cardigan Street (also next door to Dracula's Theatre Restaurant).
If you know of anyone who is not receiving these reminders, please note that they can sign up for the mailing list at www.revic.org.au/contact

Scheduling some built-in parameters (eg: Electrical Fixture elevation) or tagging calculated values are two things that Revit out of the box won’t do. Ram Sekaram will take us through some simple API methods he developed to solve these problems and will also show you where to find developer resources and support when you get stuck.
