During last week's episode of BIM After Dark Live, we talked about Twinmotion for interiors (with Lumen) there was a comment about animating the doors while navigating the live scene:
It's super fun and just adds so much more life to a live model scene....

On last night's episode of BIM After Dark Live I ran through creating an interior live real-time rendered scene of the primary bathroom of "The North Wing" project...
The key takeaways were adjusting lights coming in from Revit, material tips for realism, adding entourage... and the sun/light settings that really make a scene feel natural...

On last night's episode of BIM After Dark Live I introduced you to a new Residential Revit design/build project of mine: "The North Wing". This project is early in the design phase and I wanted to take a moment to highlight some of the workflows, concepts, tools, and processes I use while exploring design options for a project.
Some of the topics we covered were:
- Introduction to the project and current design(s)
- Revit to iPad Sketching Workflow with Procreate
- How much to model this early in design...?
- When and when not to use Design Options in Revit?

On this episode of BIM After Dark Live we welcomed back the great Paul Aubin to talk about rebuilding Volterra, Italy... in Revit.
For nearly a decade, Paul has been involved in an effort hosted by the Volterra Detroit Foundation to preserve, document and share the history and culture of Volterra, Italy. Volterra is a hilltop town in the Tuscany region continuously inhabited for over 3000 years. Deploying modern tools to study and document the historical and cultural fabric of the city has been the focus of several international workshops conducted their since 2016. Paul has been privileged to have been part of all of these workshops first as an attendee and more recently as one of its facilitators. We’ll discuss the work, the tools, the procedures and the lessons learned.

I've been using Revit for over 16 years now... And I can honestly say this is the first time I discovered this little tip about tagging rooms through links.
Check out this snip from a recent Office Hour session to see what I am talking about ....

On last night's episode of BIM After Dark Live I welcomed Jim Balding (of the ANT Group) to the show. Traditionally, BIM has always been equated to the "big firms". Well, Jim and I are going discuss how BIM (and the adoption of new technology) actually benefits the smaller architecture and engineering firms MORE! Jim has spent his entire career integrating new technologies with small-scale professional practice.
Jim shared some of the tools, workflows, processes, and (I'm sure) stories of his years spent in the world of "little BIM"...
Oh, and tune in to the beginning to hear two unique stories of how Jim and I met and how he called me out when I registered for a conference one year.... ;)
