Energy Analysis - Revit MEP, GBS, Trace 700, DOE-2, eQuest

So, I was reading the Inside the System Blog. There Kyle wrote about the Advanced Energy Analysis Blog, where there is a fabulous article for Revit MEP users that want to look at different ways to extract model data into analysis software. 

















Dang, I wish I did all the research and posted this myself. Thanks for the kick start gents!

Who Has Been in My Revit File?

Every once in a while there is trouble in a Revit project and you may want to know just who has been in the project. I mean e-v-e-r-y body.

To find out, open the folder "*_backup" that Revit makes with the same name as the project follwed by _backup. In there find a file named "users.dat".


You can open it with notepad. It's not nicely formatted, but it is a list of the login names of every user that has ever accessed the project.

Do yourself a favor and don't edit the file in anyway. Just copy the text out of this file and paste it somewhere to clean it up.
