Civil 3D: It’s Better with Dynamo
Projects can have hundreds or even thousands of documents, so why not give your team or client a better way to navigate? Digital Dashboards from Bluebeam offer a way to visually interact with project documents and provide a better method to stay organized.
Scan to BIM: Create a Revit Model from a Point Cloud
Most projects have hundreds, potentially thousands of scans called point clouds that properly document existing conditions. Unfortunately, points cannot transition directly into construction documents, so all data must be converted into Revit.
In this whitepaper, we’ll tackle this overwhelming workflow by utilizing all native Revit commands to create a Revit model from a point cloud.
The Structural Guide to Revit Templates
Revit Templates help design firms cultivate and set standards, allowing for easy project startup and maintenance. However, there are many factors that influence a successful and usable template. From Project Base Point/Survey Point to View Filters, annotation and template maintenance, you’ll get a full rundown of the Revit template creation process.
Keynote File Setup in Revit
All firms should utilize Revit keynotes, but 60% of design firms still have trouble properly implementing them in their design process. With proper training strategies, your team can utilize best practices to transform into a high-functioning design firm.
Add Realism to Your Revit Model
Revit Materials are an integral part of Revit elements and design. As designers, we need to use materials to define the real-world look and texture of elements in our model so the client can visualize the design. As project managers, defining materials helps us coordinate the real-world construction of our project. But creating, applying and managing materials in Revit can be a daunting process if one does not fully understand the process.
5 Ways Laser Scanning Can Improve Your Next Construction Project
Are you still using the archaic phrase, “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it” when it comes to adopting new technology in construction? Construction has been around for a while, and it is quite literally a building block of our society. While our society is advancing to a technology-driven future, construction, on the other hand, has mostly remained stagnant. So why are we still using “the old way” of doing things?
To keep pace, the construction industry must implement technology into their workflows. A great place to start would be doing a laser scan of your construction site. Laser scanning can improve the construction verification process, which affects all areas of your project.
