Great sites, probably the best Revit Family sites I've ever come across.
Is there any way to make the files downloadable (is that a word now?). I keep these kind of files on a thumb drive and carry them with me when I go to other offices I work at. I don't trust that fancy cloud thing or the internet for that reason.
Really bites when you show up at a site, you have no internet connection, and you forgot your power cable for your battery..
Having them on a thumb drive just make them that much easier for me to use when I need to help one of my users. I always give you credit even before they see the videos start playing. That way they can't blame me.. haha.. Actually, I don't think I could make a video, there'd be a lot of "wait a minute" comments and rewinding throughout the whole thing.
I'm mainly looking at the family creation series for now.
I'm also pondering getting a copy of that Ebook you mentioned as a Christmas present to myself. $20 is a bit pricey for an Ebook but, I think it'll be worth it..
Thanks again for the great site.
