Hayne Tries: Twin Motion for REVIT

Hello! If you have downloaded the newest Revit then you are probably aware that it now comes preinstalled with Twin Motion. And if you didn’t know.. then now you do!

Hayne projects, but with Barbie!

You can also have the option…

Hayne Chit-Chats: BIM Modeling

Tips & Tricks: How we organize multiple “sub-projects” in our digital files

We currently have a project with multiple “sub-projects” at different phases in design and construction. Our folder organization system typically files these sub-projects within the main project folder with no issues… For instance, a residential project broken down into two phases doesn’t become burdensome on the back end when filing or exporting drawings/specifications, but a…
