REVIT TIPS & TRICKS: INSERTING VIEWS OR SHEETS FROM ANOTHER PROJECT

Here at Hayne, we are always striving to find ways to be more efficient in our process. With our commercial projects, we are always using standard accessibility notes.

Keynotes Vs Textnotes

Here@Hayne we like to find new and better ways for everything we do. We normally keynote floor plans, sections and exterior elevations and then use text notes for details and interior elevations.

Hayne Office: From Sketch to Reality

Here@Hayne we are problem solvers and waste space innovators! We saw that our office was getting a little “visual busy” and thought of how we can clear out the tops of our desks. We also saw how under our desks there were large voids that coud be filled with cabinets! So our very own Holli…

Project Process: Site Prep for McMinn

When a tree falls and no one is around to hear it… does it make a sound?.. For our project in Washington, the contractors are getting started by doing some site prep. Even though that means some trees had to be cut down (don’t worry it was approved by the City), there are still plenty…

The Hayne Way: Different Types of Site Visits

Site visits or architect “field trips” are vital to the design process. Here are four types of site visits that we do here at Hayne.
