thanks for posting useful information Mark!
I’m crushed you didn’t include my Revit3D.com blog on your list especially since Revitalize hasn’t posted anything since 2006 and I’m at 876 posts just for 2009.
Your blog has been full of wonderful BIMformation so I hope I can trouble you to add me to your list of resources.
Thanks.
Thank you for bringing this up. I actually did have your blog listed. I had originally posted this list this morning and your blog was on the list. Then in the afternoon I added the images and text and must have accidentally removed it. I still have the image of your blog in my folder. I’ll get it up tomorrow.
Funny about revit-alize though. I only posted it because I found some useful tips once for a job I was working on. Very good point about the time since he has last posted. Perhaps I should remove that one.
Sorry about that Greg
Thanks so much. We all work so hard on our blogs we want all of the cross traffic and links we can get. I’m so relieved to hear that you actually did have it on the original list. Maybe we all need to pool all of the BIM bloggers together and have one massive blog. It’s almost impossible to keep up with all of the info.

Who givs a fuck about Revit??? If you’re a man you use AutoCAD!
My blog is at http://whatrevitwants.blogspot.com/ if you want to check it out.
I have created a Revit blog directory at http://sites.google.com/site/revitblogdirectory/ and it includes an embedded reader.
AutoCAD??? That’s like using pencils and erasures and one hand behind your back trying to design. Revit and programs like it are the future. Feel free to be left behind “drafting” with AutoCAD:)
So strange that I can’t open any of the links above.
Why?
And how can I get access to them?
Would you please also post other recommendations for rhinoceros?
Thank you so much~
