In the context of Revit and Worksharing (central and local files) and using Drop Box. Suggestion #1 - Please don't Suggestion #2 - If you ignore suggestion #1 please be careful and don't get mad when things go badly. I wrote about an experiment using Drop Box with Revit back in June 2010. Though it technically worked, in my opinion it isn't suitable for a real project with people working concurrently.

I imagine this video is going viral to some degree by now. First thing I though of was how CGI and movies could harness these things to create even more realistic flight sequences like in Star Wars for example. I particularly like how the one copter can flip. I started imagining our own flying saucers one day. Or.one night, as a prank, these guys head for farm country , hook LED lights up and fly over Old MacDonald's farm and generate some UFO sightings?

DebunkTheBIM. I am a manager of construction information, tools and people. I believe that hands-on manipulating of project information by all project participants is the key to achieving any meaningful improvement of the AEC industry operating within the post-gambling-era. I consider myself to be a model-based construction information practitioner (shortened to a ‘BIM- meddler’) rather than an ‘expert’ or even ‘specialist’ Tuesday, January 31, 2012.

Here at Wolfe Law Group we love flat fees. This is an area of our practice that has been blossoming for good reason. Business owners and contractors like to know what they are getting when they buy products. Legal products are no different. Many potential clients avoid using lawyers because of the often complex and expensive fee structure. There are a number of occasions where attorney fees are an issue in a case, and the company who has paid upfront is in a much better position at the negotiati

I wrote this document five years ago (I should revisit some of it). I posted it primarily because I wanted to play around with the Box feature to embed hosted documents after seeing it used on Jay's blog yesterday, he posted a 13 page document on organizing the project browser. I remember reading when Box added it a year or so ago and thought it was cool.

Yesterday, I posted that the District of New Mexico had issued a decision on the remaining open issues in the AHRI v. City of Albuquerque case. The memorandum and order is available for download here. In the 1970's, the Federal government enacted minimum efficiency standards for certain HVAC equipment, which have been updated periodically since. In 2007, the City of Albuquerque adopted a new energy conservation code designed to achieve greater energy efficiency in buildings.

I wrote a post in March 2008 about this, still waiting. It would be excellent if in plan we could document where a camera is placed. Sure we can create a family to document where they are but that doesn't provide the automatic view reference that other view annotation enjoys. Seems kind of un-Revity to me, you? If you decide to create a camera annotation how do you know exactly where it is after you place the camera?

Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) programs allow local governments to loan money to homeowners to do energy efficiency projects. The PACE loans are generally repaid as a property tax line item. PACE programs were initially very popular, and more than 25 states passed PACE-enabling legislation. As discussed in earlier posts , in the summer of 2010 the Federal Housing Finance Agency put the brakes on PACE programs.
