Note: I was given a three-month subscription to UNIFI and compensated for my fair and thorough review. That said, I was so impressed with the software that I’m going to purchase a subscription for myself. Yes, it’s that good. “Hey Michael, got a second?” I hear from across the office. “Remember that window family you created?” […]

Getting Started with Revit Macros Using C#
One of the best career decisions I’ve made was to learn how to program. By creating my own tools, I’ve saved countless hours automating tedious tasks in Revit.
