BIMandment meme

I find most internet memes hilarious, including the sometimes pithy, sometimes sarcastic, sometimes informative, internet meme known as BIMandments. If you are not familiar with internet memes, lolcats is a popular and very successful example.

Most BIMandments are pearls of wisdom detailing the best-use or best-implementation of BIM tools (primarily Autodesk Revit). Primarily occuring on Twitter, the #BIMandments are boiled down to 140 characters or less per micro-blogging requirements. Most of the BIMandments are tweeted and re-tweeted by BIM Consultants, BIM Managers, Revit Teachers, Revit Bloggers and the general BIM Community that have found a home on Twitter.

Surprising as it seems, there are people that just don't do twitter. Hence, I thought it would be useful to group a large number of BIMmandments...(lets say 100) for my colleagues that never go to twitter. Don't let your non-twitter friends miss out on the wit of BIMandments. Click "Continue Reading" to see 100 BIMandments, un-edited & fed directly to this post.
