No, it's not... YOU SHOULD ALWAYS WIRE!

When an Architect Designs and Builds His Home Office - Replay
On last night's episode of BIM After Dark Live I ran through the tools, processes, and lessons learned from my experience as both the Architect and General Contractor while designing and building the BIM After Dark studio home office. If you're using Autodesk Revit as a residential architect or wondering how this "BIM thing" could actually help as a small scale residential contractor this episode is for you! Plus, the story contains an interesting storyline with an unexpected deadline.
I covered:
- Revit Model and Permit Drawing Setup
- Estimating and Financing the Build
- Scheduling Tool I used
- Walked through each stage of construction and pointed out lessons learned and areas where Revit came in handy throughout.
- Whether I did or did not meet the looming deadline....

How to Build a Computer for Architects - Replay
On this episode of BIM After Dark Live I will be joined by Anthony Remis (of Remis Computer Solutions) to talk about how to build a computer for architects. We will break down the most recent and relevant information on what processors, graphics cards, RAM, hard drives, and more will be best suited for handling all of our CRAZY demands as architects and engineers. From Autodesk Revit to Twinmotion to Navisworks, we require an array of different specs to complete our projects... Anthony will help us prioritize our specs for both laptops and desktops to helps us build the ultimate PC for what we do...
Anthony ended with a great tip on what to look for when picking a laptop as well!

AI Rendering for Architects (Revit + Veras)
In this video I will be exploring AI rendering for architects with EvolveLab Veras and Autodesk Revit. AI image creation is no longer a gimmick where you can make goofy photos or NFTs, it is now a new and incredibly useful tool in your design process. We all have books of inspirational works, idea boards, and our favorite projects or architects bookmarked. Imagine being able to iterate through your idea boards DIRECTLY in your Revit models…

And Some examples of the AI renderings I made testing out Veras:
