Using ansible to install Oracle Java on an ec2 box running in the cloud I am writing this down so I dont forget. I started this task but had to stop a few times, and then remember where I left off and at some point, others will need to know how to get started. Install ansible brew install ansible Install Amazon EC2 Ansible integration tool Go here and follow instructions for Amazon EC2 Ansible integration tool. You will run a Python script and setup a few environment variable. It is painless. This will create an ansible inventory file based on your EC2 environment. Start ssh agent with your key $ ssh-agent bash $ ssh-add ~ /.ssh/YOUR_KEY.pem Install ansible Oracle Java install plugin $ ansible-galaxy install ansiblebit.oracle-java Start up an EC2 box tag it as elk=elk However you like, start up an EC2 instance and tag it with the tag elk=elk. This is just the type of box. In this case, I am in the process of writing an ansible setup script for an ELK stack. Test your ansible connec...

Using a DXF to Locate a Point Cloud in Revit with Very Large Coordinates I thought that most of this was easy and solved now, but it was more of a challenge than I expected. I received a ASC file from a survey in XYZRGB format, which looks like this: Those XYZ values are Metres (or Meters if you are in US) in the MGA 94 coordinate system. I also received a DXF file with the same World coordinates, and project related gridlines so I could relate the point cloud to our Revit models. I tried getting the MGA Shared Coordinates right in Revit, and then linking an RCP or RCS from Recap by Shared Coordinates, but I didnt have much joy. Here is the workflow that worked for me... Getting the right Shared Coordinates in Revit Start a new, blank Revit model Link the DXF Centre-to-Centre (this is best way to deal with huge coordinates) Acquire Coordinates from it Save your Revit file. You now have the right World coordinates, and a project grid relationship. Importing the Point Cloud by Shared Coo...
