Around the BIMternets

Links to some of the articles and BIM blog posts that caught my attention recently:

The BIM + Integrated Design blog has an interesting post on Flux, a Google driven software. It's more than a little bit on the pie in the sky side, but a good read nonetheless. Preston-Werner's quote in the opener was an amusing example of a coder who might need to spend some time seeing the world through something other than code.

The videos for BIMForum Dallas are up. I'll be eating up some time watching these myself over the next few weeks.

The Revit Kid had a short but useful post about a curtainwall manufacturer who is using Revit for highly detailed shop drawings. I love seeing manufacturers using BIM processes.
TheRevitKid.com and the blog of the curtainwall detailer.

What Revit Wants has a great quote from the October 2014 Augiworld by J&S Mechanical. In short, stop trying to make Revit act like AutoCAD and it can do great stuff for you. Including fabrication with SysQue.

CTC's BIM Project Suite has been updated. It's not a plugin I've used before, but their free Revit Properties tool caught my attention, allowing users to right-click to get info on what version of Revit it was saved in, whether work sharing is enabled, Central v. Local and a few other useful tidbits.
