Vendor description: STL Exporter for Revit Platform 2009 create 3D prints of  Revit 2009 models. As architects and engineers start their digital designs earlier and keep them digital for longer, they want a way to still physically interact with their designs. With the economical availability of 3D printers this has become possible. 3D printed models increasingly serve as a critical part of the design process to study design options and improve communication between project members and owners.

The STL Exporter for the Revit 2009 family of products is a proof of concept project. It is designed to take a 3D Revit building information model and create an STL file that can be used for 3D Printing.

Vendor description: The Zoo lets you share Rhino, Flamingo, Penguin, Brazil, and Bongo licenses (CD-Keys) among users on the same network workgroup. When these products are installed as the workgroup nodes instead of stand-alone.

Working:

• When a workgroup node starts, it requests a license from the Zoo
• An unused license is assigned to the node
• When a node shuts down, the license is returned to the Zoo's license pool

Features:

• No extra costs - Special versions of Rhino, Flamingo, Penguin, Brazil, or Bongo are not needed
• Simple setup - Install the Zoo on any system in the workgroup and type the license keys into the Zoo instead of the individual systems
• Check out - License keys can be checked out so laptop users can disconnect from the network. The key can be checked in again when the laptop is reconnected to the network
• Routable - The Zoo works on both single-segments networks, or networks where systems are separated by routers
• Robust - Workgroup nodes will keep working even if the network connection or server is down, but workgroup nodes cannot start up without access to the Zoo
• Multiple server - You can have more than one Zoo server running at a time, with each serving different clients
• Mixed environment - A mixture of  workgroup nodes and standalone nodes on the same Windows domain or workgroup is supported
• Windows Service - The Zoo runs as a Windows service. You no longer need to log into the system and start the Zoo

Limitations:

• Domain/workgroup solution - The Zoo and all computers running the nodes must be in the same Windows Domain or workgroup
• NETBIOS name resolution required
• Firewall open - If the computer running a node or the Zoo is using a firewall, be sure that UDP Ports 137, 138 and TCP port 139 are open. These are the same ports used by Windows File and Print Sharing
• Rhino 2.0 or 3.0 Educational Lab License - The Zoo does not work with Rhino 2.0 or 3.0 educational lab license
• Rhino 2.0 or 3.0 on Asia Windows - The Zoo does not work with Rhino 2.0 or 3.0 on Asian operating systems

The set of AutoLISP and VBA commands for faster adding leaders in AutoCAD.

Type K (or LL) at the command prompt and press Enter to add leader with attached text. Leaders added with this command are attached to annotation and very flexible for modifications (move or mirror annotation). Instead of select by crossing and stretching leader with text you can click on text and use move or mirror command. The leader will follow.

What the command will do:

• Store current setting: DimStyle, DimScale and Ortho mode
• Import Dimstyle VQLeader from template and make it current, set current dimstyle to ‘VQLeader’
• Adjust automatically current DimStyle with regard to the value of Dimscale and active space (model or paper)
• After adding the leader (the number of prompts is less than with standard AutoCAD command) the program will restore DimStyle, Ortho mode and DimScale

For leaders without annotations type L2, L3 or L4 at the command prompt to add 2, 3 or 4 points leader.
