Autodesk Construction Cloud: Beyond Revit Worksharing - Replay

 

On this episode of BIM After Dark Live (Autodesk Construction Cloud: Beyond Revit Worksharing) I welcome back Scott Davis to expand on Autodesk Construction Cloud ("ACC").  Many of you know of the term (or know of "BIM360") and use it for Revit Cloud Worksharing... As great as the Revit Cloud Worksharing is (and it is great), you may not know about all of the other incredible features ACC has to offer... We will dig into how you can take full advantage of the tool you are paying quite a bit of money for... and take live questions along the way..

Some of the things we plan to touch on include:

Insight - Power BI templates

Markups in issues

Bridge

Sheet Collections

Locations - Import From Revit

Correspondence

Download PDFs from Build

...and more!

My Residential Revit Template: An Exclusive Look Inside - Replay

 

On this episode of BIM After Dark Live I walked through my Revit template for custom residential architecture. 

So many of the Revit template examples and downloads available are focused on larger commercial projects. I wanted to create a streamlined, minimal, and effective template that was optimized for small-scale residential design and construction. This template will give you everything you need to quickly create a model and set of construction documents for your 400 square foot home additions... not your 4 million square foot hospitals!

Click here to watch the replay as I take your questions and walk through my approach to such a template... 

Interested in Downloading the Template?

This template is exclusively available to members of the BIM After Dark Community.  

Key Features:

Text notes, dimensions, schedules, line styles, and more that all look graphically compelling right out of the  box. 

ONLY the view templates, line styles, detail components, families, wall types, and just the content you NEED to start your single family residential projects in Revit.

Minimalist, "retro" style titleblocks and cover sheets built in. 

Schedules, key schedules, note blocks (with annotation families), and more to help you quickly generate your construction documents. 

A fully comprehensive sample project of a 400 SF addition with all views, sheets, details, and information included!  

A project browser that is simple to use and organize (as well as customize!). 

Graphic display settings for your 3D and 2D views that will improve the quality and comprehension of all of your Revit views.

.... and more....

Automatic Construction Documents in Revit (w/ Miguel of EvolveLab) - Replay

 

Seriously... Get ready to have your mind blown. Imagine having a tool that will automatically generate your interior elevations (of all our rooms), place them on sheets, and then dimension them... Or, imagine you had a tool that elevated all of your desired curtain walls, placed them on sheets, tagged them, and dimensioned them.... 

Well, Miguel Bardaji joined us on last nights episode of BIM After Dark Live and did exactly that....

Seriously. Check it out...
