Digital technology tools today have changed the face of what it means to be in construction by enabling cloud collaboration, improving workforce productivity and making sustainable practices easy to achieve. I started my career as an architect in my home city, Cairo, Egypt in 2004. Check out our conversation below!

Changing a Username. Youll have to manually change it if necessary. You can change your username before you open a local file but not after. You cant change your username until you close that file. Then you can create a new local file after changing the username. Builds and Updates. Revit OpEd. Older Post.
It seems unlikely to me that Revit LT will truly serve any notion of BIM other than " lonely BIM ". Then again it isnt uncommon to hear people working in the market LT is focused on saying something like, "BIM doesnt matter to what we do." Builds and Updates. Blog Listing - BIM and Misc.

With 3D printers now capable of printing building walls and processing cement, the technology could help reshape construction as we know it. Some other popular additive technologies include selective laser sintering (SLS), fused deposition modeling (FDM) and direct metal deposition (DMD). Construction took just 17 days.
These adjustments change the 3D model, not just the 2D plan-view. Note the two “wall closure” parameters (shown below) need to be “locked” so they stay positive (in the correct direction) when the host wall thickness changes. Builds and Updates. Blog Listing - BIM and Misc. Site Information.
An interoperability code of practice for technologies in the built and managed environment is set to be launched on Monday 17 April in London. Poor interoperability of information has been a perennial problem for professionals in architecture, engineering, construction and asset operation and maintenance for decades.
The Development of New Processes and Programs is Picking up Speed in Germany Digital processes and tools are changing all areas of our lives at a rapid pace. In any case, this is certain: Digitization on the building site and in the offices for planning and administration must and will progress faster.
In this image the massing has been created aligned with the "site" but weve realized that it would be easier to document if Project North were aligned along one building edge. As I wrote in my reply there, RTN is sleight of hand while RPN is really altering the entire model and related views to change orientation. Older Post.
I was musing about a recent conversation where one guys position was that BIM is hype, unnecessary and worse really just being foisted upon our profession in a scheme to get more money from "us". It seems to me this notion of using Revit (BIM) and "us" isnt all that different. Friday, July 27, 2012. Due Diligence. The soluton?
I included the following tips and advice (edited a little in this version) in a door tutorial I wrote for my Autodesk University 2005 lab called "Autodesk Revit Building Family Editor: From the Beginning". Change the scale of the view to make it easier to constrain, select geometry. Skin - solids/voids and model/symbolic lines.
Rooms and areas can be deleted in model views like floor plans and ceiling plans. Revit warns us that they have been deleted from the model but they are still listed in schedules. Builds and Updates. Blog Listing - BIM and Misc. Site Information. Comments: Comments are moderated to manage spamming.
The opening families are still assigned to the category Generic Model. As for other subtle library changes we will now find some categories separated by Internal and External, interesting language choice versus Interior and Exterior. Builds and Updates. Blog Listing - BIM and Misc. Site Information. Older Post.
The problem with pinning it down is that as soon as I think Ive got it, I change it a little and then Revit doesnt complain about importing the file. Builds and Updates. Blog Listing - BIM and Misc.

Building planning: digital for optimized workflow 2. Project management software: smart tools for fast teams 4. IoT: building with wireless intelligence 5. BIM: Solving problems proactively and reducing costs 7. Mega-trend in the construction industry: the 3D-printed building 11.
It was meant to make it simple to alter the appearance of our model to be more in sync with what a structural engineer wants to see. When Mechanical is assigned Revit changes the nature of what plan and reflected plan mean. They were there but the discipline change altered how Revit calculates the display of the elements.
The whole model is still there, just not visible, thatll provide some relief for performance sake. Recently I was working with a team, their building is a million square feet overall, and opening the whole file took considerably longer than selectively focusing on a single sectors workset. Building Shell or Envelope. Wing South.
They recently announced that theyre offering a software solution to bring 3D as-built models of pipes and other cylindrical MEP elements directly into Revit. However, the accuracy and utility of the model is greatly enhanced by the use of custom families. Builds and Updates. Blog Listing - BIM and Misc. Site Information.
If changed I suspect people would have less trouble deciding which function is appropriate. It cannot be that difficult of change to make for Autodesk either. What you are suggesting is a much bigger change. Builds and Updates. Blog Listing - BIM and Misc. Site Information. Copyright Information.
This information has been sitting in my inbox for a week now. Autodesk Vasari Beta 1 is a slimmed down version of Revit 2013 focusing on conceptual modeling and early analysis. It also encompasses some changes to the user interface. Detailed BIMmodeling tools have been removed. Builds and Updates.
A few changes have been made this year as to how the updates are accessed. Improves section creation within a project with linked model. Improves stability when enabling “Show Analytical Model Categories in this View” when the Warning dialog is open. Builds and Updates. Blog Listing - BIM and Misc.
I think that it is natural to be inclined toward building very parametric families. However, as fast as some design solutions change a single solution family might get built quicker than the one we make trying to anticipate how it might change. As soon as we see what is possible, why not? 11:20 AM. stimmo520 said.
I used a pair of model lines (assigned to Invisible) to govern the location of the arc and line endpoints. It also means that the family will break if one of these segments is flex too far, assuming the changes result in a zero length segment. What you describe as working doesn't work on the model lines in my example.

The fundamental day-to-day business processes of the Engineering, Construction, Owner, and Operations sector are changing. That said, major cultural change must occur in order to make significant progress. The efficient life-cycle management of the built environment will not happen until changemanagement is accelerated.

Masterformat is a multiple level data structure consisting of numbers and titles/descriptions used to organize information by “work results” or construction practices. The MasterFormat numbering system and titles provide a common, transparent manner to readily communicate construction item, tasks, and associated information.

While Value Management is used as term in this paper, it is arguably interchangeable with Capital Planning and Management (CPMS).
