No Polyline Clipping? Fucking Really?

So... Revit is only capable of clipping a square?

I guess I shouldn't be surprised, considering what a massive hunk of shit the rest of the program has proven to be.

I've got a retarded clusterfuck of projects that (completely out of my control) have been linked and rigged together into totally lagged out fuckshittery - and I need to clip out a piece that is sandwiched between two other portions of the project.

The best (read: only) suggestion that I have received is to put a 'filled region' over the top of the offending areas, leaving only the portions that I want to show up on my sheet un-obscured.

Now - the fact that I should have to do something that half-assed in a set of software that costs approximately $5K a seat, and has had over a half-dozen releases (since autodesk purchased it - instead of developing their own BIM software, or putting BIM capability into ACAD) is just fucking sad.

This is basic fucking shit, and there is no fucking way that Autodesk should be getting away with hawking their bullshit software.  Anyone else would've been dead and buried - but Autodesk had the money and clout to build an illusion of functionality around their software for long enough to get too many people too deeply embedded in it to be able to pull out.

Once they had Architects on-board, and a system in place to marginalize and silence dissenters, it was all downhill from there.  Architects are already some of the least productive people I have ever met in my life - except maybe for the architect lackies that are responsible for the day to day design work - there are rare exceptions, some of whom I work with (and who are painfully aware of their companions lack of concern for things like schedules, budgets, etc. as their own hard work gets cancelled out by sheer slack and dumbfuckery).

Basic fucking shit people - get the fuck on it.

  1. I have to say that I'm so friggin happy to find someone else that thinks Revit is as big a piece of shit and a colossal waste of time as I do ... you are the man!
