Got a nice check file that you have created and now want to share with others in the office? Maybe you have one you want to share with the world? Either way if you have a check file and want to share it, others will need this quick tip to use it.
Check Files themselves use the .bcf file as their extension and by default are stored locally (default path: C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Model Review 2010 for Revit 2010 and C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Model Review 2009 for Revit 2009.
The file that controls and shows this is the drop-downs and pre-defined flyouts is the .config file located in same directory as the default Check Files. Actual filename is: ModelReview.config). To add to this, use the Manage->Profile->Edit option.

Revit 2010 - Wall Split With Gap
In 2009 and below with the help of a .ini hack we had access to an extra command called "Split Wall with Gap" and since 2010 was released this has no longer worked. With the release of the Subscription Advantage Pack it is back and built right into the core tools now, albeight a bit hidden.

5 Starting Tips for iPhone Development and We Are Official
What's new here you ask? Well development efforts have been pretty exciting and the winds of change are beginning to blow. Back in January we switched our mobile devices of choice to iPhones. Since then we have become fascinated with what can actually be done on the device and as of October 01, 2009 we launched our first developed application called: 100percent, works with the iPhone and iPod Touch devices.
So how did this get started? Great question, it really began with some personal inspiration and the dive into private and commercial development over the past 2 years. The itch to do more in this direction became a motivator that finally could not be ignored. Besides the legal aspects (will talk more on that at another time) the desire to merge the design side which life has been preparing for us (Architecture, Engineering, Modeling, Rendering, Project Management, Design Applications and Utilities and more) and see where it may land. So with that rough framework in place we wanted to apply this to development for the iPhone, which brings me to the first principal we went through looking for what to develop:
