Hello all,
My name is Darick Brokaw. I am a Structural Designer for an A&E firm in Orlando FL. I am looking forward to sharing some of what I know with you all. The session I will call “Watch Me Flex” is intended to share the methods & workflows of a single story retail structure and how to build it so it will flex with changes. It can be benifitcial to have a Revit model move & adjust in a predictable way when changes are made. I am looking for questions, ideas, & tips to cover in the class. I will review all relevant posts for their inclusion into this session prior to May 1st. Thank you for your support.
