The HAYNE Way: Family “Go-To” Parameters
Hello friends! Thanks for joining us today. We are still waiting for the infinite library of components to be generated for us to use but until then we are creating new components to use in our model. With that we noticed there are a couple of parameters we always start with. We thought we would…

Every project has its own unique requirements and as such the types of drawings packages we produce can vary from a simple project with one design package to a vary complex project with upwards of six design packages, each designed for a different jurisdictional approval.

Revit Component Rating
Hey friends! Here@HAYNE we are Revit fans (with mixed emotions about some things) and thought it would be fun to rate the standard component library it comes with. Some categories are great while others could use some changes and then there ones I’ve never opened. We rated them out of 5 stars and zero star…
Software Spotlight: Revit Render vs Enscape
Welcome back! As we continue to work in (and love) Enscape, we thought it would be interesting to compare render views from Enscape and Revit. Before using Enscape we would buy credits and send views from Revit to render in the cloud so we could continue to work as it rendered. This was helpful to…

The pool house is a fun entertainment covered outdoor area with some awesome arches to frame the space. It’s located right…
Tips & Tricks: 3D SketchUp to Revit Component
Sometimes you get lucky and the manufacturer you are specifying for your lights, equipment, doors, windows, etc. have their own Revit components. Sometimes, you are partially lucky, and the manufacturer has 3D and 2D information but it’s not in Revit. And other times you are completely unlucky and there are no manufacturer drawings and you…
Tips & Tricks: Adding Custom Energy Values to the Door and Window Schedules
The energy efficiency of our buildings is important and one way that we verify our code compliance with current energy codes is to define the energy efficiency of our windows and doors. Here at Hayne we typically identify the Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC) and the U-Value for our openings based on the window and…
