Wordpress Tips
A collection of problems and solutions I have encountered which take a bit of searching to find a solution. Frequently this reveals lots of suggested complex fixes in forums when there may well be a simple fix. Typically the 404 error:
404 not found error.
Dead easy! Go to Settings > Permalinks and Click "Save Changes". This update's permalinks settings and flushes rewrite rules.

REVIT filtering reference planes
How to simplify views with a lots of reference planes .... This arose from working on a project using phases for several options and locking objects within phases to ref planes in order easily modify design options (I don't use Revit Options - far too cumbersome and using phases to switch between options is far easier).

Export views on sheet without the sheet family
Thanks to Balázs Szilágyi for this posted on Revit Users Linkedin.
The question posted was "EXPORTING REVIT FILE WITHOUT ALL SHEETS, VIEWS, DETAILS ETC ATTACHED" and is there a quick way to export stripped of content (sheets details and other views) that you dont want the receipient to see.
Balazs's very quick and simple method is to place the views on a blank sheet and then right click to "Save to new file". The new model file has the full model but without any views other than the blank sheet view. All the families not associated with the view (such as detail families, sheet families) are excluded.
I did try this by saving from a proper sheet and it appeared even this sheet was excluded so no customised content needed to be stripped out. Many of us have built up sheet families highly customised which you wouldnt want anyone else to copy and alter for their own purposes.

Revit 2016 extensions
You wont find the Extensions add-on in the Subscriptions area anymore and the Autodesk Knowledge is not correct in directing you there.
With 2016 follow Start>Programs>Autodesk Applications Manager and there it is ready to download.
