Revit Architecture 2011- Error Message
Revit 2011 Hangs at Splash Screen or Crashes with Unrecoverable Error
I had a problem launching Revit 2011 last week. It fails to load upon opening and I've received Error Handling Message. Even after I've tried to uninstalled and re-installed my Revit2011, still I couldn't start the program...until I past through this post.You launch Revit 2011 and it doesn’t get past the splash screen. Or you launch it and you see the splash screen followed by an unrecoverable error message. So what do you try next?
I have included the 3 most common causes for this behavior below, in the most common order. If you run into a scenario where these do not resolve the issue please do not hesitate to let us know!
1. WSCommcntr2.exe Process
I’ve included a technical solution for this one below. The technical solution is for AutoCAD, but the same process applies for Revit 2011:
http://usa.autodesk.com/getdoc/id=TS15228698
2. Corrupt WSCommCntrData.xml File
If the WSCommCntrData.xml file becomes corrupt, Revit may hang when attempting to read it at startup.
While Revit is closed, move or delete the WSCommCntrData.xml file at the location below:
Windows XP
C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Local Settings\Application Data\Autodesk\Revit\
Windows Vista & Windows 7
C:\Users\%username%\Appdata\local\Autodesk\Revit\
3. Corrupt UIState.dat File
This could also be potentially related to a corrupt UIState.dat file. While Revit is closed, move or delete the UIState.dat file at the location below:
Windows XP
C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Local Settings\Application Data\Autodesk\Revit\\UIState.dat
Windows Vista & Windows 7
C:\Users\%username%\Appdata\local\Autodesk\Revit\\UIState.dat
#2 & #3 are user-specific, so if you see this behavior where it happens to one user but not another on the same workstation, this is typically the conflict.

BIM Humor
The Washington Post's Mensa Invitational once again invited readers to take any word from the dictionary, alter it by adding, subtracting, or changing one letter, and supply a new definition.
Here are the winners:
1. Cashtration (n.): The act of buying a house, which renders the subject financially impotent for an indefinite period of time.
2. Ignoranus : A person who's both stupid and an asshole.
3. Intaxicaton : Euphoria at getting a tax refund, which lasts until you realize it was your money to start with.
4. Reintarnation : Coming back to life as a hillbilly.
5. Bozone ( n.): The substance surrounding stupid people that stops bright ideas from penetrating. The bozone layer, unfortunately, shows little sign of breaking down in the near future.
6. Foreploy : Any misrepresentation about yourself for the purpose of getting laid.
7. Giraffiti : Vandalism spray-painted very, very high.
8. Sarchasm : The gulf between the author of sarcastic wit and the person who doesn't get it.
9. Inoculatte : To take coffee intravenously when you are running late.
10. Osteopornosis : A degenerate disease. (This one got extra credit.)
11. Karmageddon : It's like, when everybody is sending off all these really bad vibes, right? And then, like, the Earth explodes and it's like, a serious bummer.
12. Decafalon (n.): The grueling event of getting through the day consuming only things that are good for you.
13. Glibido : All talk and no action.
14. Dopeler Effect: The tendency of stupid ideas to seem smarter when they come at you rapidly.
15. Arachnoleptic Fit (n.): The frantic dance performed just after you've accidentally walked through a spider web.
16. Beelzebug (n.): Satan in the form of a mosquito, that gets into your bedroom at three in the morning and cannot be cast out.
17. Caterpallor ( n.): The color you turn after finding half a worm in the fruit you're eating.

Assertive BIM
Assertive BIM
Something from The Blog of 'whatrevitwants.blogspot.com' about Aggressive, Passive and Assertive BIM.An Aggressive person will totally disregard your opinion and basically 'bite your head off'. On the other hand, a Passive person won't speak up even if they feel strongly about something. But -
An Assertive person Listens to and Acknowledges the opinions of others, and then respectfully but firmly Expresses their own opinion.
In practice - let's say 3 people like 3 different colours. Mr Aggressive says 'Red is the best colour and you are all idiots if you don't agree with me!' Mr Passive loves Yellow, but he meekly nods. Mr Assertive says, 'I respect the fact that you like Red. However, I personally like the colour Green.'
Mr Assertive does not need others to change - he just shows respect and wants to be respected. His beliefs are not dependent on forcing others to change.
When it comes to BIM, the 'aggressive' stance is often taken (AutoCAD is rubbish!) However, perhaps a more successful tactic would be to truly Listen, Acknowledge, and then firmly express why You believe in BIM.
