Revit Families Reunion

It’s been a while since we’ve posted on our blog, and we wanted to fill you in on what we’ve been up to. Some of you may have seen us at RTC Europe last October, which Jose helped organize as a member of the conference committee. Or you may have seen our booth at Autodesk University in December, where we unveiled our new content management service, Kinship, which has been keeping us very busy (much more on that in future posts).

We’ve also had our hands full creating Revit families for a whole range of products and manufacturers. We thought we’d start making up for lost time by bringing together a bunch of snapshots from our recent work to share with you – an Andekan Revit families reunion, so to speak. While we can’t always provide details about which manufacturer’s products we’re modeling or who they are for, we hope you enjoy this glimpse into where we’ve been spending our time.
