Free SpankMyRevit v1.3

It's been a busy week posting about the Revit Add-ons inspired SpankMyRevit, but this should be the last, at least for awhile.

As we mentioned previously, Bird Tools developed the add-in independently while we were working with another developer in parallel. Over the past few days, as Bird Tools became aware of some of our original plans, they've kindly incorporated them into the app.

In version 1.0, SpankMyRevit emitted a single slapping sound. Now, in version 1.3, if <Alt> + <S> is pressed multiple times with less than 5 seconds between key presses, a sequence of sounds are played, in the following order:

1. "Bad Revit!" + [slap] + "Ow!"
2. [Slap] + "Ow!"
3. [Slap] + "Ow!"
4. [Slap] + louder "Ow!"
5. [Slap] + louder "Ow!"
6. [Slap] + louder "Ow!"
7. [Slap] + "Oh, c'mon!" + Excessive Frustration Exception message box

SpankMyRevit – but don't Abuse it! An Update

Let's start at the beginning. Back in April, I posted a few prank articles featuring fictitious Revit add-ins. One of them, SpankMyRevit, for punishing Revit for not doing what one wants, garnered quite a bit of attention in terms of pageviews and feedback. It was just a little funny idea I had, but all feedback was positive and of the type, "I wish this was a real app!" So, shortly afterwards, I reached out to a developer friend of mine and he agreed, in his free time, to make the idea into reality, and I was working with him on this. Unfortunately, owing to his workload and other commitments, and especially to my own health issues, the app didn't get past the Alpha testing stage before...

Developer Bird Tools took the initiative to develop the app independently, cleverly using it to promote their business in the process. I thought this was great, and posted about the app a couple days ago.

Free SpankMyRevit! For Real this Time! (Updated)

For April Fools Day this year, we posted a few gag posts. One in particular seemed to resonate with our readership, SpankMyRevit, a free faux app for "punishing" Revit. Now, Bird Tools has converted the idea into reality.

Disclaimer: We at Revit Add-ons DO NOT condone physical violence of any kind, including domestic violence. This app is intended to be humorous. If you cannot take it as such, please do not use it. Also, when using, please be considerate of co-workers.

Simply download and install the add-in. After restarting Revit, a toggle item will appear on the Bird Tools tab.
