I ‘drew’ the first axo chair in AutoCAD 25 years ago and showed it to her. I documented full houses in 3D ArchiCAD 20 years ago in our design studio, while she looked after our children. I designed and modelled iconic commercial buildings in Teamwork Architecture when we moved to a bigger town 15 years ago.

In 2006 I demonstrated (at Autodesk University) the then new line based family type by explaining how we could use it to document egress path requirements also known as exiting plans. Defining the requirements for documenting exiting are naturally going to affect the success of any solution we try to provide. Egress Path Options.

While humans have been engineering architectural feats for thousands of years, traditional drawings are often siloed, stagnant, and vulnerable to rapid obsolescence. .

The arty types will, of course venture into pretty diaries, hand written journals and within the architectural corner of the industry hand-sketching, physical model making etc. Why do you ever settle for AutoCAD? Why do you accept that having a bit of access to Grasshopper or Rhino is the pinnacle of coolness on offer?

Architecture is like that, it tends to suck up your time. :) The good news is that we've done some very interesting things recently. So its been awhile since I've created a post. We've written an in house specification for family creation. It is written in the same way as an outline spec for building design and construction.

What inspired you to begin a career in architecture/construction? But then I decided I wanted to be able to walk when I was 50, so I went back to school and got my architecture degree, then decided to go the GC route instead of the design side. On the architecture side, we design in 3D. Andrew: It's changed a lot on my end.

When Revit Systems was released in 2006, the essence of Autodesks marketing commentary was, "this is new software so it probably doesnt make sense to tackle a project with it unless the architecture team is using Revit too." We will still be able to compare our model against 2D documentation by importing various 2D CAD views into the model.

That being said, someday we will know, and someday our contract documents will reflect the legalities of BIM. AutoCAD is record albums and ABS is CDs. Not how to create templates and families, how to model and create construction documents. Seems like every one is working on it, but it is plain undefined. Scheduling, Phasing.).
