Revit's Latest Gifts - The Search Feature

Now, I'll be the first to admit, I don't always keep up with all the latest and greatest publications regarding every update for Revit, I'm a day in and day out Revit user, so I typically come across most of these things naturally. That being said, I'm really enjoying all the little tweaks and additions of the 2016 release and the 2015 update. I will cover these little additions over a couple of posts, today we’ll start with the search feature.

Who loves all the search features everywhere? Me!

Shall we count the ways that we can search Revit 2015 now? Shall we attempt to quantify how much time is being saved by every one of these search options versus endlessly scrolling lists? Hell no. Let us go forward and never look back.

Autodesk University 2015

It's official!  I'm so excited to be Las Vegas bound early December to present a lab class at AU2015.  My lab named, Beautiful Structure: Rendering Revit Structure Models with 3ds Max, is truly about showing the magnificence of structure.  Beautiful renderings should not just rest within the architects bag of tricks, in this competitive BIM market it's important to market our structural engineering firms via our corporate social media sites, proposals, and marketing avenues.  So if you're interested in promoting your BIM work in the form of beautiful structural renderings I hope to see you in my class in December. 

How One Woman is Leading BC’s BIM Revolution

I was very honored to have Nevin Thompson feature me in an article for YellowSheet.ca a few years ago.  Here's an excerpt of that article.

Despite the move towards LEED and green building technologies, architecture as a discipline can be a very conservative realm. AutoCAD software, first developed in 1977, still dominates even the largest engineering consultancies. Many architects still rely on paper to share designs.

This is in stark contrast to how the rest of the world has moved over the past 20 years and the explosion of the Internet. Information is virtually every other industry and profession is shared instantaneously. And over the past five years or so there is the expectation that collaboration be instantaneous as well.

BIM is aimed to change that.
