I was fortunate enough to attend an Autodesk webcast today on Project Vasari... Finally, we know what it is! Here are some quick points...
- Stripped down the Revit UI.
- Running on the web.
- Integrating Conceptual Engergy Analysis.
- Streaming Install
- "Essential Skiils" - Tutorial videos at startup.
- Extracting core modeling features from Revit and expose them inside a watered down user interface.
- Using Autodesk ID from your Autodesk Labs account you can access more features (such as Climate Server information, and Conceptual Energy Analysis).
I have not used it for very long now but I will definitely be posting a personal Review and video this weekend. This will be a great piece of software for students and possibly a launch pad for learning Revit. As
David Light mentioned, this could possibly accelerate the adoption of Revit... The slimmed down UI and almost, dare I say, "Sketch-up" based look and feel to it, I think, will be much easier for new users to adapt to and accept.
More to come...
