CAD Manager’s Journey into 3D
I enjoyed this article I found in Cadalyst. It reports on various 2D and 3D usage among design firms. Here are his findings: 19% Totally 2D 51% Mainly 2D but evaluating 3D 24% Hybrid 2D/3D 6% Totally 3D So if you are part of that 19% or 51%, you should give me a call!

I went to the SMPS Principal Forum this morning. What a great event! I am so happy I attended. The forum was all about BIM and the legal aspects surrounding it. I discovered a new word while I was there: FEDERATED MODEL. Basically federated models are separate and distinct models that can be seen together. What a great way to describe the Architectural, Structural, and MEP models within Revit! Additionally, a book was mentioned that was written by Stephen Kieran from KieranTimberlake. I didn’t catch the title but I am thinking...

I survived Thanksgiving. I didn’t bust at the seams having ate one too many wafer-thin after dinner mints! My father deep-fried the turkey and it came out lovely. No need to call the fire squad! I stayed away from the stores on Black Friday deciding instead to lay low and work on my knitting.

Microdesk has given us a half day today. What a nice early start to Thanksgiving! I am not sure if I will be closing up shop at 1– still so many things to do! Tomorrow is Thanksgiving and I will be spending it with my mom, dad, my sister Lisa and her dog Beauregard Duke Bebop W. LeMoko (but we call him Bo for short). My dad is in charge of the turkey and for the last 5 years he’s been deep frying it! We start early and get out the peanut oil, gas, burner and caldron. Before we know it, neighbors gather holding their turkeys...

read morePower of BIM
When people talk about BIM do you smile and nod and hope they don’t ask you to define it? Don’t worry, you are not alone. Many people THINK they understand BIM and even more pretend to understand it. So what is a person to do? I wouldn’t waste any more time… do a little research, you can start here: Autodesk’s Power of BIM. Once you understand the methodology you can start adding to the conversation and you can even throw out words like parametric and bi-directional associativity! How cool is that? ...
