GRAPHISOFT BIMx is an innovative, interactive, BIM communication tool for architects setting new standards for design communication and presentation in the AEC industry. BIMx now turns the iPad/iPhone into a full-fledged interactive building model explorer device as well. This is a demo video from GraphiSoft : Autodesk BIM for Infrastructure: Sustainable CitiesSeptember 7th, 2011 by Sanjay Gangal
Autodesk’s intelligent model-based design software can help cities plan, design, build, and manage more efficient, sustainable infrastructure. View this new video story of urban renewal and learn how Building Information Modeling (BIM) supports better informed decision-making and helps achieve greener outcomes more quickly, easily, and cost-effectively. You have probably seen Susan Smith’s AECWeekly on this topic. Here is a video from Autodesk: ArchiCAD Tutorial – Guide Lines in ArchiCAD 15September 6th, 2011 by Sanjay Gangal
Article source: Eric Bobrow Watch this ArchiCAD training video to understand the new Guide Lines behavior in ArchiCAD 15. While Graphisoft’s new technology is powerful, it can be frustrating and confusing, since some of the old methods no longer work the same way. This free ArchiCAD tutorial is presented by master teacher Eric Bobrow. Project Storm for Autodesk Revit StructureSeptember 2nd, 2011 by Sanjay Gangal
Project Storm for Autodesk Revit Structure is a technology preview that provides cloud-based structural analysis to structural engineers as a part of the BIM process. With Project Storm, engineers and designers can extend design models from Revit Structure to the cloud for structural analysis from directly within Revit Structure. Check it out at http://labs.autodesk.com/utilities/revit_storm/. Autodesk Labs: Civil model – integrated BIM workflowSeptember 1st, 2011 by Sanjay Gangal
The Corridor Solids Technology Preview for AutoCAD® Civil 3D® 2012 software provides functionality to create AutoCAD® solids from AutoCAD Civil 3D Subassembly shapes that are contained in an AutoCAD Civil 3D Corridor Model. By creating solids from subassembly shapes, representative real-world objects such as tunnels, retaining walls, and pavement layers can be more easily used for visual analysis, design verification, and construction coordination through enhanced model sharing between various project team members who are using applications such as Autodesk® Navisworks® 2012 products, Autodesk® Revit® Structure 2012, Autodesk® 3ds® Max Design 2012, and the new Autodesk® Infrastructure Modeler 2012 software. SketchUp Pro FeaturesAugust 31st, 2011 by Sanjay Gangal
Google SketchUp Pro is a simple but powerful tool for exploring and presenting your ideas in 3D. SketchUp Pro is everything traditional CAD software isn’t — quick to learn and intuitive to use. This video shows some of the features of Sketup Pro: 3D Elevations and Dimensioning in VectorworksAugust 30th, 2011 by Sanjay Gangal
3D Dimensioning is detailed in this Video Tech Tip by Vectorworks. Nice video!!! Publishing the ArchiCAD model to Tekla BIMsightAugust 29th, 2011 by Sanjay Gangal
Tekla BIMSight is a free application that improves design, construction and maintenance workflow processes by:
This video shows how to publish ArchiCAD models to Tekla BIMsight. Mosaic Project for Autodesk UsersAugust 26th, 2011 by Sanjay Gangal
Mosaic is an online peer-to-peer resource that provides an aggregate perspective into the existing set of Autodesk User Communities. The industry media, social media, AUGI, and discussion groups (just to name a few) are invaluable stores of knowledge. Mosaic aggregates these resources and connects users directly to them from one convenient web destination. For more information, visit mosaic.autodesk.com. Roombook Extension for Autodesk Revit Architecture 2012August 24th, 2011 by Sanjay Gangal
Roombook Extension for Autodesk Revit Architecture 2012 is available through the Autodesk Subscription Center The Roombook Extension for Autodesk® Revit® Architecture software helps calculate the surface area of walls, floors and ceiling elements, room circumferences and the total number of furnishing elements within a project. In addition to the automated detection of room areas and surfaces, this extension helps users configure these elements manually to local requirements, as well as achieve more accurate model take-offs. Quantified results can be exported to Microsoft® Excel® software and Autodesk® Quantity Takeoff (QTO) software. |
