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.

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....

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!
