Mark Kiker focuses on the process of finding issues and addressing them as they escalate—proceeding from last month’s article dissecting the ‘Find’ and now moving onto ‘Fix’ and ‘Finish’.
Shawn Herring takes us through Project Explorer and looks at the many reporting methods for creating tables and exporting reports!
Jason Peckovitch expands on what constitutes a strong, continuously enhancing ‘living’ template file life.
Jack Foster shows you how to have a LOT of different visibility combinations without a Visibility State in a dynamic block.
Mark Kiker focuses on the things that slowly and imperceptibly degrade, then stop working, or go off the rails.
Anton Huizinga shares how some questions trigger to take a deep dive into the subject while sharing his own questions such as: how (apart from requesting the original drawing) can you restore the symbols and elevation texts back into Cogo Points? Or, because the original objects are gone and unrecoverable, how to create new Cogo Points with the original location properties?
Jason Peckovitch talks about his time at the BIM Invitational Meetup and how he joined the organizers; Christopher Alexander, Michael Freiert, Robert Beckerbauer, their interns Cecilia and Aiden, as well as Beth Evanoo from HCM for dinner Sunday evening while letting us in on their “pregame” conversations that night.
Shawn Herring talks about his use of Civil 3D almost every day mostly for single family land development projects. He mentions how almost every project he starts, or potential project, begins with some sort of GIS data, either for boundaries or for topo, prior to sending out his survey crews to capture data.
Monica Fernendez explore the innovative application of Revit’s features beyond their standard applications to develop nine distinct drawing sets for an existing, multi-story healthcare facility!
Mark Behrens dives into his life exploring AutoCAD and how he firmly believes that basic drafting board skills teach practices that last a lifetime of design!
Paul Li talks about how at the beginning of this year, he introduced an article titled Dialog Fun Facts. For him, the ability to program and layout custom dialog boxes in AutoCAD gave him a similar kind of excitement as watching the Summer Olympics. Now Paul is writing follow-up articles on this topic so he can pass this excitement to fellow AutoCAD users!
Anna Montenegro talks about IoT basics/key benefits and how architects and engineers can automatically feed IoT data into BIM programs to automate design, construction, and management processes!
Kristina Youngblut talks about how BIM brings artificial intelligence to your project, fostering collaboration and integration like never before. She also states how the BIM process goes beyond design knowledge, incorporating expert technical skills to enhance project outcomes, and more!
Jonathan Massaro introduces the new version of Revit that Autodesk has released while going over the tasks to follow through with before rolling out the latest and greatest!
Matthew Marrero breaks down the importance of layer management, the benefits it provides, and best practices to help you master this essential aspect of AutoCAD!
