If you're in AEC and are dealing with data and reporting you need to check them out. The ease at which you can create fully customize reports is staggering and Layer is our latest tech that was adopted the fastest by our staff. Here's the difference between a supplier and a business collaborator... It happened to me this week with the great people at Layer. Me : Hi Georgios! I need a 3rd option for that field in the reporting tool, it would make my life a lot easier and save a ton of rework. Georgios : Hey Sebastien, I chatted with the dev team and a reasonable timeframe for this to be out would be most likely the end of next week - does that still work with your deadline? Me : Great, thanks ! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Same scenario with any other software giant -> Me : Hi! I have a problem with your existing feature... Them : Dead silence, crickets... and slowly walking away from keyboard -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In this case: 1. No extra money asked... 2. Not telling me to go see the road map 3. Not asking me to create a profile and log in to request a new feature that may or may not get the votes from the community I understand that, in a world of AI and Bots, efficiency is the driver but it doesn't beat talking to someone who cares

Vote here: https://lnkd.in/gk3xw4r5 We need your vote for Revit Links management on file open! Please share & vote this up as previous attempts have lacked support in the Autodesk Forums voting contests! My Autodesk account is currently disabled due to an MFA Snafu on transfer to a new team at Galloway 😁 : ( Spread this through your networks to help showcase the importance of the ability to unload links at open for BIM Teams! Just a few of the these similar posts that died on the vine: - Open with links unloaded - Unload links prior to Revit project upgrade - Unload links and open checkbox in the Open Dialog Box - Right-click open & unload linked file - Unload Revit Links and Open Detached Option - Open Detached Model and Unload Worksets to unload and attach models or links - Linked files shouldn't unload when detached from central. We could control links before open.

Unlocking Potential: Overcoming Technology Adoption Barriers in Multifamily Construction. For developers in the DFW area, rising material costs present both challenges and opportunities. Unfortunately, the construction industry has been slow to adopt digital technologies compared to other industries. In this article by Emma Woollacott, she points out three key reasons why: ⬇ 🔹 Construction remains largely manual. 🔹 3D printing, modularity, and untapped potential. 🔹 Industry fragmentation hinders technology adoption. The article does a great job of highlighting how the construction industry is lagging behind other sectors in digital transformation, despite the potential benefits of emerging technologies such as 3D printing, modular construction, and digital collaboration tools.

Question for Architects and Design Team members regarding Autodesk and its BIM software Revit: What are your biggest grievances with the software? What simply does not work with the software? What changes would you love to see? One of my largest frustrations with Revit is the amount of time my team spends troubleshooting issues. All of the time saved with automation is lost troubleshooting the software. Some plaguing issues include phasing (try tagging rooms in a demo plan), graphically showing diagrammatic information on the drawings (clearances for equipment, doors, sinks, etc.), and coordinating geometry with consultants, i.e., equipment consultant modelling equipment, but not in their exact location, because it's the architect's job to provide exact dimensions, which then requires the architect to duplicate their geometry and manually coordinate with the consultant anyway. Oftentimes you have to combine automated workflows with manual ones, and your new task is to continuously monitor and manage all of these relationships. This makes it near impossible for another teammate to jump on and immediately provide the value. The teammate has to continuously navigate the various relationships the other teammate setup, significantly reducing their ability to help. I'd love to hear your experiences with the software and any suggestions for improving how design team members can better produce deliverables.

Architectural lighting is not just about what you illuminate, it's also about what you obscure. Drawing focus using lighting is an old trick in theatre and is a lesson that can be applied to architectural lighting as well. Check out my article, "Seen Versus Unseen" in the latest (all digital!) edition of the AIA Dallas magazine, Columns. https://lnkd.in/g2R_HtJM

🖐 Imagine the efficiency of getting your models into the hands of your field teams. You can with OpenSpace BIM+: easy-to-use tools for viewing your models and solving problems—no BIM expertise needed. VDC Manager, Kyle Tomak from HENSEL PHELPS had this to say: “A huge goal is to find ways to get the model out to the field and put into practice by our field and operations staff out there. If they’re going out to do an initial inspection of a certain MEP system, having that quick ability to go exactly where they want on the plan and look at what’s supposed to be there. That’s the workflow I’m trying to marry with OpenSpace BIM+ into our existing workflow from a QC perspective.” - Kyle Tomak, VDC Manger, Hensel Phelps 📌 Learn more about using OpenSpace BIM+ on our website: https://lnkd.in/g7QS2D_g #OpenSpaceAI #BuiltForYouByYou #RealityCapture #Construction #ConTech #BIMcoordination
