Due to flight timing I had Friday, after Autodesk University, in Vegas. After the best part of a week Casino living and ‘The Strip’ it was time for a change. On the way to the US I heard a “The Skeptics Guide to the Universe” podcast which mentioned “The National
Fascinating to see Autodesk and ESRI announce an alliance at the Autodesk University Technology Keynote. In my previous life at the Airport the gulf between GIS and BIM was a real frustration.

This departure was my first chance to see (apart from in design models) the airside changes at Auckland Airport. Although still in construction the finished parts look great and the new security/emigration area is much better. Via Hawaii, a good way to go Although about 15 hours total a
Travel
Once I decided to go to Autodesk University 2017 (November 13-16) in Las Vegas thoughts turned to how to get there. The usual route, from New Zealand, is via Los Angeles or San Francisco. While I love San Francisco I have been there several times and while I have been

After an update to Windows 10 Fall Creators edition (which was painless) Trying to update an email subscription on Spark’s Lightbox web video service Edge browser gave an amusing message with a rather appropriate icon: After clicking through the vintage tech browser worked just fine!
I won’t be able to attend this one, will be overseas, but they are a great place to meet, and learn from, people from across the Auckland AEC community. Registrations are now open for the November 2017 BIM AK Event.(Thursday 23rd November, 5.30-8.00pm), proudly sponsored by
Revit User Group Auckland’s next meeting is its tenth birthday. A lot has changed since then but people still want to learn about Revit and related BIM applications. This month is about Revit and 3D Printing. When: Wednesday, October 18, 2017, from 5:30 PM Where: Jasmax, 2 Marston
