I Did A Bad Bad Revit.



Namaste.

Well, still no Revit going on here - other than cleaning up some of the shittiest attempts at joining walls (and other stuff - like doors and windows) in human history.

I often forget how lucky I was that at least the architectural teams I used to deal with actually had some experienced people (who gave at least half a fuck) to guide them in how their drawings, details, etc. needed to look - and even though they were still having to fake some shit in (resulting in the model not working like it should), the end result could be relied on to at least look good.

Fast forward to any number of dumbfucks stumbling out of school with 'Revit training' and being dropped into the middle of firms struggling to keep the Revit dick from popping out of their mouths it's shoved so far up their ass - and you get some absolutely hilarious attempts at 'architecture' ever conceived (or engineering for that matter).

The one I'm fixing right now is somebodies idea of an addition to an existing high school - putting a crazy multi-level airport concourse style structure in the front with some classrooms (that ironically ends up demolishing nearly an equal number of classrooms in exchange for corridors connecting to the new addition which, while impressive, is mostly empty space).

At almost every joint there is solid hatching to cover up the fact that the walls are basically individually drawn and set next to each other rather than actually connected.  The same goes for windows/storefront (with many of the frames AND glass extending into sections of wall - and equally cleverly hidden by hatching.

Also obvious is the fact that they don't understand how to use the vast array of view range settings (which I'm told now outnumber the stars visible to our most powerful telescopes), as clusterfucks of overlapping lines depicting walls, stairs, and other objects bleed through, requiring extensive guesswork as to what is supposed to be on each level.

I assume the 'architecural' set includes details (probably drawn in 2D - most likely pulled from a library of details drawn by someone who actually knew how buildings are constructed), and they just said 'fuck it' (which, in their defense, is exactly what I would do if put into their situation).  The only saving grace is that I am not in their situation - and have the necessary tools,  knowledge, and ability to de-clusterfuckize their dumbfuckery.

As always fuck a big bunch of Autodesk and the Revit they rode in on the dick of.

-SkullFuck.

Next Time: Scrub-a-dub-dub.

  1. Me again.

    I'm sensing a pattern.

    It's really not about the tools, however fucked-up they may be. It's about the users - who haven't bothered to figure out how the tools work. They don't know what the fuck they're doing.

    And the people who hire the people who don't know what the fuck they're doing who just don't give a fuck.

    The fish stinks from the head, I always say.

    Am I right?

    1. There's plenty of blame to go around. Poorly designed software that makes it dangerously easy for morons to fuck everyone involved. As I told someone the other day: 'To err is human - to really fuck things up, you need Revit'.

  2. "vast array of view range settings (which I'm told now outnumber the stars visible to our most powerful telescopes)"

    LOL. Almost choked on my food

    1. Once the James Webb Space Telescope goes up (hopefully this year) we'll be able to see even way further into space than ever before - if it were designed in Revit the only thing we would be seeing is further up the ass of some Revitard.

    2. Well at least your boss isnt wanting to revert from revit to fucking SketchUp to produce CD sets. While revit is terrible, id rather take the single dick from revit compared to the dual fisting im going to have to endure from this other autistic piece of shit software....

    3. Obviously you are just a luddite who is clinging to outdated 'Revit' software instead of switching to 'Sketchup', which is far superior in every way. I am a level 5 Sketchup guru who just completed a 1 billion square foot project all by myself - with all of the architectural, structural, and MEP components automatically generating themselves.
