Recently I spent a day at SkyCity Convention Centre with a bunch of other CAD/BIM users for the AEC Systems NZ Technology Solutions Day. I couldn’t see everything as after a few shared sessions the day split into tracks covering Civil, AEC and Manufacturing. It was a little
3ds Max
A couple of weeks back I showed the scene below in a presentation on “bImformation modelling” for the Auckland Revit User Group. It was created with Autodesk Labs Project Photofly technology which assembles a collection of 2D digital camera images into a 3D spatial arrangement then generates a 3D point

Nearly a decade ago I saw Scott Arvin's doctorate thesis prototype software (below) which experimented with logic control of space & adjacency to create dynamic bubble diagrams. He used a mechanical metaphor to describe relationships with “strengths” expressed as springs. You could automatically or manually rearrange spaces based
I don’t often quote an entire post but Steve’s is important. He refers to the US but one hopes this isn’t limited to that territory… Revit OpEd: Rumor is True! - Upgrade Path to Suites For a limited time, customers who have a current Subscription for select
Revit Architecture
I installed my Home Revit Architecture the lazy way by just accepting the default settings. It installed & ran without a hitch but I found some content missing. A bit of web searching revealed I wasn’t alone and others had already found a fix. No Conceptual Mass Template Clicking
Revit Structure
It’s more than a rumour that Autodesk Evangelist Lynn Allen is heading back down under for the Auckland AEC Systems Technology Solutions Day next month. She was recently in Australia so must just love those long haul flights in Seat 16C. More detail & registration for the event available
Revit User Group NZ
Registration for the Australasian Revit Technology Conference has opened. A chance to visit the Gold Coast and learn, mix, mingle with many of the best Revit users on the planet. Sadly I won’t be going this year but know several RUGAKL members who have been and recommend this independent
Revit Architecture
I work with both ACA & Revit (project dependent) and it’s interesting to find features in one that could help with the other. Most Revit projects I’ve seen have some sort of sheet & working view structure. Working views are permanent/temporary views for model editing to avoid
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
AutoCAD WS was first but the concept of cloud storage and browser/mobile client editing has merit for any platform. The AutoCAD WS blog offers a chance to influence which Autodesk platform comes next. I voted Revit because I see absolutely no need for a Inventor, Buzzsaw (isn’t that
Today started (at an early for me 05:30!) with an Autodesk web meeting to learn about a Subscription Advantage Pack debuting “soon” (i.e. days not weeks). It was a heads up on some new Revit Architecture (& Structure) tools that will be interesting to try when they arrive
Dan Jurgens has posted a great Revit/3ds Max tutorial originally presented at RTC 2010. A detailed white paper, Vimeo hosted screen capture videos and sample datasets are available via their post below. An awesome resource for the Revit/Max community, especially if (like me) you didn’t get to
