Missing stuff: files and folders

about 7 years ago by stan

You know guys, I liked the idea behind your site. Actually is a reallly great idea. That's why I kept paying for the last several months without even using it. Which sounds stupid, but this is one of the "nice things" about monthly subscriptions. Isn't it. Even as you'd say, "people can unsubscribe any time" Though I did'nt do it. So I finally find some time to start seriously this course. Which in itself is actually very well explained and pretty straight forward . And than..BOOOOM...Missing files, missing folders, missing objects....reading comments. I am sure, you all know how frustrating this is. For your concentration on the spot, but also for the long term desire to continue. Especially when, every single minute in your day is scheduled. Finding one hour of peace to concentrate on a paid training session and than BOOOM. Well, this is simply not cool. We live in an era of digital technologies, emails, clouds, file sharing etc and I am really surprised that more than an year after other users' first questions, there is still a prolem with that ... Anyaway..but franky ...well...Cheers

Hi Erica I send you an email. For others reading this comment:

The New Construction models are located inside the Components.rvt file. Both existing and construction models can be copied over by copying it to clipboard and pasting it to an aligned view. They're probably hidden. So, you have to click on the Reveal Hidden Elements button (the one with the little light bulb) down on the bottom. And in the phases.rvt, the newconstruction.rfa is already placed.

Our apologies for the inconvenience, this course was one of the first courses we made. Instead of updating, we're in the process creating a brand new Revit Certification Course, using the latest version of Revit. It's going to be out in the coming weeks and it will have the assets numbered per lesson for clarity.

Best,

Arie

Hi Stan! Thanks for your feedback and I'm sorry you had a bad experience watching this course. We're still learning and adapting to our users every day so this comment is much appreciated. Which files, folders and objects are missing specifically? If you're referring to the "newconstruction.rfa", it is located in the "phases.rvt". Nevertheless, in the upcoming courses, we'll make sure the assets are more clearly sorted. I understand your frustration, finding time to watch something is hard and then not being able to find a file or object is very frustrating. Could you send me an email with your account email to arie@thinkparametric.com, I'll be happy to extend your membership so you have time to watch the courses you'd like to watch. Thanks for taking the time to write us, we appreciate it a lot All the best, Arie

Hi Arie, I'm facing the same problem. Couldn't find some of these files. It's that whole References folder is missing. I had posted about this in previous lessons too. No response yet.

I've been following this site since you started, love the work you've been doing here. I hope the other courses doesn't havee any issues like this. Kindly re-upload the Download Assets along with the missing folders. It's hard to see many others complaining about missing folders. Please solve this issue at once. Thanks.
