I’m onto some rose-coloured BIM issues…and here is a tip for ArchiCAD users as a bonus

DebunkTheBIM

So let’s talk BIM, the rosy, and pink, and lemon-yellow and forest-green… For a long time I’ve been a strong advocate of proactively using colours in construction information management, often provoking condescending comments from ‘architects that wear only black’. Model based communication supports this idea splendidly.

Archie*, the construction bácsi**

DebunkTheBIM

Archie is the cheap version of Archicad, customised for Contractors. Archie’s workspace is partitioned into 4 panels, each colour coded for easy navigation: Modelling and Coordination: the panel is white with the original-orange coloured grid of ArchiCAD (note spell!) where contractors model their buildings.

Revit Beginners: Editable Worksets and Workset Ownership

Revit Beginners

Lets say you have a project with worksets enabled and the whole model is on Workset 1 by default. No one else is going to be able to edit ANY modeled elements that are on that workset. or do a save to central and relenquish user-created worksets so other users can work on the model too.

Always Be Phase Aware In every project file your modeled components have a phase created and a phase demolished parameter whether you like it or not. If you place a model component in a view that is set to the New Construction phase (under View Properties), that component automatically gets placed in the New Construction phase.

Revit Beginners: Using Radar

Revit Beginners

You just linked a developed Revit model into a new project file and you cant seem to find it. If I just imported a project and I cant seem to locate the imported model the first thing I do is setup my radar. Open each view individually and zoom all (ZA) until you find the model you are looking for. ArchiCAD vs Revit.

Revit Beginners: The Project That Almost Could

Revit Beginners

We have one model that was started in Revit before we knew any of the limitations of Revit. The model is not clean enough to develop construction documents so we have passed along that task to another architect. ArchiCAD vs Revit. Green Revit. HOK Green BIM.
