Hey, it’s Michael from ArchSmarter,
With my wife and I working from home and our kids doing distance learning, it’s family time all-the-time in our house. Most days, everyone gets along like a house of fire. Other days. . . not so much. It’s no wonder that families are on my mind a lot these days. So much so that on May 28th at 3 pm EST, I’ll be hosting a free workshop on Revit families. I will be joined by Revit family expert John Kinney. During the 1-hour workshop, we will take a look at what goes into creating happy Revit families. John has built LOTS of Revit families over the years and will share his best practices for ensuring your Revit families stay sane and healthy, even during a pandemic.
