My mother has been a solid supporter of my BIM journey over the last 3 decades. She has no idea what the ‘BIM’ acronym stands for exactly, but is closely associating it with all my professional ups and downs. I ‘drew’ the first axo chair in AutoCAD 25 years ago and showed it to her. I taught how to BIM globally 10 years ago.

Of course, while a prime location can put a venue on the map, it's really the experiences that draw people in and keep them coming back. What inspired you to begin a career in architecture/construction? So, I decided to put the investment into my education—and what better way to combine all those three things than architecture?

BIM based computerized quantity take-off and cost-estimating solution has flourished in the last 4-5 years. Quantity take off procedure can be enhanced with BIM as estimate of the quantities are derived from BIM models and the model contains the information on all the objects in the building in addition to their dimensions.

In this issue David Butts, (yes, the David Butts) pens an awesome article on Making Sense out of Data Interoperability in the BIM World. Melinda Heavrin also shows you "Efficient Customization with the CUI" in AutoCAD Architecture. And Elisha Sage dives deep into some complicated features of part building in AutoCAD MEP.

BIM authorizing estimating software can enhance the estimating process to a great extent. Building Information Modeling (BIM) generates a complete digital model of the building that can produce exact bill of material and cost estimate along with coordinated drawings and details.

I went to school for architecture and then flipped it to architectural engineering. And I was basically doing AutoCAD work for them. I tried to push them towards Revit and BIM as a whole. I worked for a private developer in downtown Bellevue as their BIM engineer, and I was the only BIM guy. came out.

Revit harnesses the power of (BIM) to allow architects to create drawings and models. Bluebeam Revu is like a PDF viewer on steroids, allowing users to add markups and quantity takeoffs to drawings and models (our Construction Technology Manager says “it’s like if AutoCAD and Adobe Creative Suite had a child”).

Ive been teaching our office how to use Revit Architecture. In AutoCAD you can add text to linetypes but youll notice that in Revit you cant. This workaround involves drawing a repeating detail line (with imported text) on top of a simple detail line. Now draw a detail line in any view of your project. GSA BIM Resource.

When you visit the product site you will see its being paired up (suite pricing) and compared with AutoCAD LT as well as the obvious comparisons with the full featured Revit. It seems unlikely to me that Revit LT will truly serve any notion of BIM other than " lonely BIM ". Book - Introducing Revit Architecture.

Ive been teaching our office how to use Revit Architecture. A common thing for beginners, is to go right to the trim tool in search of a fillet option (because they are likely more familiar with AutoCAD). If you are drawing a wall or a line there is a pallet of line shapes that you can draw (square, polygon, circle, arc, etc.)

Ive been teaching our office how to use Revit Architecture. The office I worked for didnt use Revit for developing working drawings but I do remember wishing that I could add text to linestyles (for phone, elec, gas, etc) and I remember having trouble understanding phases but I got a lot of help from users on Zoogdesign (now AUGI).

My journal of work in Revit as part of a 600+ member architecture firm. This is a great way to "freeze" a drawing, without having to export to CAD, and it keeps everything in the model. Autocad users can rejoice, Revits UI now supports activating a modifier command (such as Copy, Rotate or Move) before selecting any elements.
