On The Rug

I’m going to jump in and make some contributions to the site, but I need to put a couple of things out there before I go on.

First, I’d like to say thanks to John for putting this together. Communication really is the key to making Revit (or any other program like it) work. I hope this will eventually become a solid source for the folks in this region to come to for all things Revit. Thanks John.

Second, in this day and age I believe the disclaimer is all important. I have a presence on the web, but it is not tied to my work. Revit is part of what I do here at my firm, but not all of what I do. Having put both of those things out there, what I post here are strictly my opinions. They are not meant to come from or be connected to the firm where I work. My hypothetical examples are actually hypothetical, not thinly veiled attempts to say things about the place where I work. Yes, one of the owners of the company pointed out the Revit User Group to me - so management is aware of things that are floating out here on the web. You should be aware of that too - particularly before you post your own “hypothetically speaking” kinds of things.

I hope that others from the area will post here and open the lines of communication. Getting folks talking isn’t always easy. There seems to be a sense that you’re “giving something away” or costing yourself business because you’ve given your “edge” to somebody else. Most days I simply wish I could find somebody that has the answer I’m looking for - but maybe that’s because I don’t run the place.

What do you think - ready to jump into a conversation?
