Here’s a tool that probably is over looked by most people new to ABS. That tool is anchors. Anchors are pretty much self descriptive. They are used to anchor one object or entity to another. When an object is anchored a host object, movements of the host trigger identical movements in the object. This might come in real handy to keep switches anchored to doors that change their swing or hinge, or keeping light fixtures and diffusers within a referenced ceiling grid, or keeping receptacles on a w

At the request of some NGO's assisting in the housing relief effort in the wake of the recent earthquake in Pakistan, Owen Geiger and I have collaborated on a simple earthbag emergency shelter concept that could be built with minimal tools and supplies. This design is flexible in size so it could accommodate large families or just individuals. Wood debris from collapsed buildings could be used for roof beams.

One of the most powerful tools in ABS is scheduling. Using a predefined schedule is easy, but figuring out how that schedule works and how to customize it is not. I hope to answer those questions in this article. How does it work? Objects in ABS possess sets of properties specific to that object. For example, a diffuser has a property for flow, a receptacle has a property for circuit number, and a sink has a property for fixture type.

What’s so great about Autodesk Building Systems? Why should I walk away from a proven product like AutoCAD, when I have so much invested in it? These are very valid questions that many CAD Managers and Owners are asking themselves lately.

I recently received an email from a gentleman in Pakistan expressing interest in dome technology for building earthquake-resistant housing in that country. The massive earthquake a few weeks ago leveled thousands of homes, and the government is looking for ways to rebuild in safer ways. I responded that I thought that earthbag building would indeed be superior to conventional (un-reinforced masonry) building, and that I would put together a description of how to go about building a small dome th

For instance, earthen materials for adobe, cob, or rammed earth projects could be mixed and placed at the building site almost instantaneously.

For the first time since 1985, homeowners in the United States who install solar energy systems will receive a tax credit from the federal government worth 30% of the system cost, capped at $2,000. Businesses that purchase solar equipment will also receive a credit worth 30% of the system cost. These tax credits, in the recently passed energy bill, will bring solar power costs over the tipping point in many areas of the country.
