Carlson and Revit Images
As a follow up to my previous post on Carlson and Revit compatibility, below are pictures of the results of exporting 3d faces and 3d polylines from Carlson and importing them into Revit. The first two images are from Carlson and the last from Revit.

Carlson and Revit
I went through quite a bit at work today to try to answer this question: are Carlson and Revit compatible?
Not knowing a damn thing about Revit, I spoke with our company's Revit guru and learned that Revit pretty much just takes 3D geometry, namely 3D polylines and 3D faces. It couldn't be that simple, right? What about all of that intelligent data that Carlson stores? Sounds like Revit won't take that data. There is currently an email out to a guy at AutoDesk to confirm this. So it IS that simple. Have Carlson draw 3D faces and/or 3D polylines and import that into Revit. Hopefully this post ends up in someone's Google search and helps. Leave a comment if you need details.

Wedding
To save myself the trouble, go to http://www.theknot.com/ourwedding/DanielleCratty&ThomasConrow
Here are some pictures of where we are getting married, the Garden of Rememberance at St. Mary's College in St. Mary's, MD. We've got most of the major stuff down pat. The location, time, reception place, rough guest list, I have my dress, caterer, attendants, and overall theme. Going for a kind of classy country theme with the colors being black, white, and red.

Puppies!
If you already know Thomas and I, you know we are severely attached to our dogs. They are like our kids. Sophie is a 3 year old Brussels Griffon x Bichon mix (sometimes labeled "Griffichon") and Bella is a 1 year old Dashund.
Here's a couple of pictures:
Sophie
Bella:
They are such buddies:
They will even share their couch!
Ok just one more thing, and turn your volume down, they LOVE to howl (you have to get them going first):

Gardening Efforts
Here are some pictures of my gardens. I hope to overwinter most of the flowers so that I don't spend as much next year on gardening as I did this year.
Gerbera daisies:
The gerberas do really well. I've tried to collect seed from them but it really doesn't seem worth the effort. There are red, yellow, pink and orange ones there. I'm a big fan of gerberas. We are using red and white gerberas in our wedding.
Geraniums, impatiens, phlox, candytuft, and million bells:
The geraniums do great. Some better than others. As long as I pinch off the dead blooms they will keep on going. I expected the impatiens to be bigger, but I'm starting to think they will be bigger next year. The phlox had it's one bloom for the season and now it's done. I can't decide if I like it enough to keep it if it's only going to bloom once. Candytuft, I hear, doesn't really show up until the season after you plant it. So we'll see next year. And the million bells. Not terribly happy with them. They are leggy and the little branches often die off. Not the plant for me.
Dwarf Gardenia:
It's tough to get a good close-up. Gardenias are my favorite. They are gorgeous and smell amazing. Next year I will get a standard gardenia plant now that I know I probably won't kill it. I'd heard gardenias are tricky, but I've had no trouble so far. At one point I was taking a stem with a bloom on it to work every day and setting it on my desk just for the smell. If they bloomed in May and weren't so expensive, we'd have these in the wedding instead.
Herbs and Veggies:
I need to get an updated picture of the veggies. We've had a lot of rain and they are much larger and with fruit now. In the veggies pic: left to right, then top to bottom there are strawberries, early bird tomatoes, green bell peppers, buttercrunch lettuce, cucumber and broccoli. In the herbs pic: cilantro, basil, lemon thyme, rosemary, and oregano. I'm letting the strawberries propagate out. Tomatoes still haven't turned red. Need to figure out when I can pick the peppers. The buttercrunch lettuce grows great, but tastes terrible. I hear they taste better in the fall, when it's cooler, so we'll see. The cucumber hasn't done much and the broccoli has the tiniest heads ever. It's slow moving, but not bad for the first veggie garden. The cilantro was a force to be reckoned with at one time, but it's died off for some reason. Basil and rosemary are OK. The oregano and thyme though, they grow like weeds! I can't even give it away anymore. I'm trimming them back just due to lack of space.
So that's my intro to my gardening efforts. I'll post more on certain plants here and there.
