Early start after a late night; the BSD breakfast at 07:00 was the first time I've had breakfast since being here!
Today was a mixture of Revit, Vault (wow that's cool), something new (I can't talk about) and then a bit more Revit.
The morning session covered how Revit Structure can work alongside AutoCAD, ADT/ABS and Revit Building and the results and limitations of import/export between them. Have a much better understanding which will be useful as we trade content with RB/RS consultants.
Lynn Allen did a demo of Vault, design content management, which was very impressive. Currently its a manufacturing tool (AutoCAD, Inventor) but would be very useful in our office as manages archiving and publishing of versions as designs change...
I gave Lynn an All Black Kiwi Santa Xmas decoration which seemed to be appreciated.
Finished with a Revit Family session (how to create/structure Revit Family content) in which David Conant showed some very relevant techniques for someone with lots of fittings to model. It was good to see him here after missing his very brief visit to NZ last month.
Tonight is the big bash at Disney MGM Studio Theme Park. They chuck out the public early, so we have sole use of most the rides. Lynn Allen said they won't be operating the childrens "Little Mermaid" ride but nobody seemed too upset. Other than that MGM is all AU tonite and the boat is leaving, which is why this post ends here.
