Revit history–back in the day

If you are as passionate about the Revit technology as I am, be sure to read Jeremy Tammiks blog post on the Genesis of Revit & its API.

VEO™ Video Preview

 

So you may have probably heard the buzz? I am guilty as most for banging on about VEO™, although I am under NDA, so I can’t be too specific. But if you really want to know more, go to this Linked in page!

After working for more than 4 years in stealth mode, M-SIX will soon launch VEO™, a cloud-based platform for use in the design, construction, and operation of buildings and other structures.

• VEO™ Lux - Navigate and Visualize
• VEO™ Logic - Coordination and Validation

• VEO™ Track - Asset tracking
• VEO™ Archive - Model-linked document library
• VEO™ Pulse - Real-time sensor data

I have had a couple of people ask me already what VEO™ is. So I will attempt to put in my typical plain English fashion.  VEO™ is not a modeller, Revit can do that & it can do it very well, that is not the market that M-Six are after. VEO™ instead is a BIM aggregator, a lifecycle platform; in my humble opinion, the piece of the BIM pie which is truly missing; true BIM 360.

I have said it before & I will say it again, the last time I got this excited about a software product was when I first saw Revit & if my memory serves me correctly most out there didn’t get it & saw it as an annoyance. Now what is the preferred BIM platform of choice? ;-)

The state of UK BIM

Following this years successful Autodesk UK BIM conference, Construction News In association with Autodesk  published this article. Certainly worth a read!!

Very quick adaptive railings

Just a quick share on the possibilities of using a very simple adaptive family to create a railing family. The “point” to watch is the need to make the adaptive points vertical on placement. :-)
