My Road To BIM
For me BIM probably began with LEGO
I haven’t modelled with, or thought much about, LEGO for decades—the photo below is my collection in the mid-1970s, my first building models—but recently created a logon for the LEGO IDEAS site. The motivation was to support an awesome Kākāpō bird project. The real Kākāpō is endangered,

ESRI & Autodesk Alliance announced at #AU2017
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. Look forward to seeing what this brings. Sent from Outlook for Android More information here: https://www.autodesk.
My Road To BIM
Twenty years on, another Quantum leap #AU2017
About twenty years ago I read a 'brain dump' from Jim Awe about the next generation of AEC design. It described a world of object design, model properties and display management that was realised in Architectural Desktop and, later, Revit. Today at Autodesk University he did it again
The Ferrari Pinin & me
I debated posting this on the CAD blog but it is a bit off topic. If you’d like to see how a 1980 Pininfarina Ferrari Concept car (now up for sale) led to a school tech drawing project which played a part in my career choice, and therefore (indirectly)
Mastering Autodesk Revit Architecture 2011, more than a book! #AU2010
Imagine you had a magical device that could connect you directly to some of the best Revit brains on the planet. Imagine it revealed techniques, tips and outright tricks to help you make Revit fly. Then imagine it was affordable and readily accessible on your (physical or virtual) desktop. Mastering

Phil Bernstein has a Blog?
Don’t know how I missed it but a tweet, soon followed by a fellow BIM geek’s email, led me to Phil Bernstein’s relatively new Blog. It’s great to see him jump into the world of blogging. I have seen Phil speak at Autodesk University and (long
Retail Design
Thirteen years, where did they go?
According to Outlook, today marked thirteen years since I joined The Warehouse Limited. Coincidentally, yesterday a question regarding the area of a long closed store had me ferreting through an old plan* (below left) which represented TWL store design at about that time. Since then we have evolved from 2D
My Road To BIM
From RobiNZ CAD Blog to RobiNZ Revit Blog
Occasionally I change the banner on this blog. Usually it’s just an excuse to show some photography but this month is different. The banner is completely new, the photo carefully chosen to mark the end of a long an winding road. It’s been, but doesn’t seem, a
CADuzer becomes BIMuzer, BIM’vangelism?
Writing about meeting Greg Arkin at Autodesk University (see BIM Bids Only!) I described his style as “BIM’vangelistic”. It seems some BIM’vangelism, combined with the gift of a domain name, worked for Scott! CADuzer becomes BIMuzer - thanks to Revit3D.com Well, I think my work is done

BIM at the NZ Maritime Museum?
It’s hard to avoid BIM, even when you’re on holiday. I must admit the prime motivation for visiting the Maritime Museum was a recently opened exhibit: Blue Water Black Magic - A Tribute to Sir Peter Blake It features the 1995 America’s Cup-winning boat NZL32 – Black Magic
Seems I have been to BIM!
In the CADMAN Rd post I asked if anyone had been to BIM? Thanks to a vigilent reader who spotted a feature on the map closer than BIM, West Virginia I found out I have been to BIM, well Bims Rd. Even...
