October Chapter Meeting: Portland State University Viking Pavilion Tour
Kourtney Strong, CSI, CDT, Programs Co-Chair
Tuesday, October 10, 2017
5:30 - 8:00 PM
Peter W. Stott Center
Come join Woofter Architecture and Fortis Construction for a tour of the renovation in progress at the Portland State University Peter Stott Center and Viking Pavilion. This multi-use facility acts as both a new gateway to the campus and a new destination for the entire community. A key goal in the transformation of an outdated, inward-facing 1964 building into a significant campus and community resource was to fully engage its unique exterior context. In place of the existing blank brick walls, large areas of glazing are carefully distributed to connect the energy and use of the building's public spaces with the Park and campus beyond. Check out the presentation we had last October on the design
here, and join us for a in person tour of the progress. Following the tour, we will have networking and happy hour at Rogue Hall.

President's Message: CONSTRUCT 2017
Ellen Onstad, CSI, CDT, Board President
It would be easy to summarize CONSTRUCT 2017 by the education classes I attended, the presentations I saw, the people from around the world I met, the discussions that occurred on the trade show floor, the old friends I was able to catch up with, or the products that are new and improved. But CONSTRUCT is so much more than that. READ MORE >

October 5th
- Ideate Applications - Revit Shared Coordinates
Speaker: Sash Kazeminejad, Ideate, Inc.
Location: Walsh Construction, 2905 SW First Ave., Portland
Stop Wandering and Start Coordinating. Take a Look at the Revit Coordinate System at the October Learning and Libations on October 5th.
Have you ever been in the position of linking Revit and CAD files only to discover that none of them align? As a result, we start playing around with a variety of linking options and then find out that we have made things even worse, adding more confusion to an already baffling topic. It is probably safe to assume that all of us have been in this position at one point in time in our Revit careers.
As you have discovered, the Revit Coordinate System can be a little tricky to navigate. At first glance, there is really nothing to see except for a blank screen with a few elevation tags, but hidden beneath these views is a very powerful system in whichwe can coordinate the location of our projects and linked files. Before anyone begins to model anything in Revit, it is important to establish coordinate points that the entire project team can reference. We will have a look at these methods so that movingforward, you will be able to successfully locate your project in its respective location and link other Revit files without having to make any adjustments after the fact.
Please bring your thirst for both knowledge, and beer (but mostly knowledge).
Here is the format, for those of you unfamiliar with our L&L Series:
5:30 PM - Social half hour, pizza and beer
6:00 PM - Presentation, more pizza and beer
7:00 PM - Questions, you get the picture
