Don’t be like Joey! 😅 Stop using in-place components in Revit - seriously. They might feel like a quick fix, but they’ll slow you down in the long run. Why using parametric families matters to you? • Parametric families carry data: This means you can schedule them, tag them, filter them, and use them in quantity takeoffs or facility management. • They’re adaptable: Change one parameter and the entire family updates accordingly. • They ensure consistency: You get cleaner models, more accurate documentation, and fewer surprises down the line. In-place components are ISOLATED, MESSY, and BREAK your BIM FLOW. BIM isn’t just about modeling. It is about building smart, connected data. In-place components don’t belong in that system. How do you handle custom elements in your projects? P.S. I mean, be like Joey, but not when it comes to “in-place” components. 🤣 #revit #bim #design #architecture #youtube #balkanarchitect #parametricfamilies #inplacecomponents #components #modeling

Before you ask – explore 🧠 In today’s world of instant information, the ability to solve problems independently is more valuable than ever. It used to be: Ask Google. Now it’s: Ask ChatGPT. Before reaching out to a colleague, try the tools already at your fingertips – Google, YouTube, ChatGPT, forums… There’s a powerful mindset shift that happens when you go from: 👉 “I don’t know” to 👉 “Let me figure it out.” That shift changes everything. So next time you’re stuck, remember: • Google knows a lot • YouTube shows you how • ChatGPT helps you think it through It’s not about doing everything alone – it’s about becoming the kind of professional who solves problems, not just asks about them. Every challenge is a chance to grow! Those who figure things out, become leaders. Those who always ask, become followers. Which one are you? What’s your go-to method when you’re stuck on a problem? #revit #bim #design #architecture #youtube #balkanarchitect
