AU2014 Day 2 - Takeaways

Thoughts and takeaways from Day Two or Autodesk University 2014. One day to go!

1. What do you call a cross between a bagel and a biscuit? I have no idea, but we had it for breakfast Wednesday morning.

2. Autodesk Glue 360 really is a huge leap past Navisworks, for so many reasons. I can't wait to deploy it at the airport.

3. I touched on it yesterday, but if you are in the MEP design or construction field, SysQue is really worth a look. If I were in the MEP field, I'd be pulling late nights and weekends if necessary to get it deployed and educate my staff. Fortunately the learning curve doesn't look to be anywhere near steep enough to require that type of investment.

4. We talk about process a lot, and we talk about software and hardware a lot. However, a flawless process with the most sophisticated software on the most advanced hardware amounts to bupkiss without people. Educate yourself. Educate your staff (including your bosses). Educate your clients and educate your consultants and partners. Don't tell them about BIM or whatever it is you are doing... Teach them.

5. Only 10,560 steps on Day 2.
