The Future of SCRUG

Colleagues,

I was surprised last month when the LA-RUG user group announced its 2014 Preview to be held in Orange County. I assumed that The Consortium had withdrawn after the re-launch of SCRUG. Their last meeting in O.C. was October 2012.

Why LARUG | OC Exists is an unedited excerpt from an email that I (and many others) received from Jay Zallan, President of LA-RUG, which outlines the intentions of that group. I decided it would be in the best interest of the membership not to hold two conflicting meetings, and gave our full support to the LA-RUG.

The South Coast Revit Users Group has received commitments from our sponsors, Kelar Pacific, Microdesk, ProGroup, and U.S. CAD, to support and expand this group. However, due to the overlap between the two groups, the SCRUG has agreed with Autodesk Territory Manager Chuck Keeley's proposal to share this sponsorship with LA-RUG.

We will reduce the number of our meetings, skipping every third month, allowing LA-RUG to benefit from the support of our sponsors. I also invite the LA group to collaborate on joint SCRUG/LA-RUG meetings, combining presentations from both L.A. and O.C.

The next two SCRUG meetings are tentatively scheduled for April 25th and May 23rd. Location and topics to be announced. I thank everyone for their continued support of the South Coast Revit Users Group, the first and foremost Revit users' group in Orange County.

Celebrate Summer with SCRUG in L.A.

Alexa, how far is it from O.C. to the Long Beach Promenade? "It is twenty-four miles from Irvine to the Long Beach Promenade." Alexa, why should I attend SCRUG in L.A. ? "Because it's summer and you deserve a break." It's possible that your spouse or significant other has no idea what you do, and may not have seen the cool technology involved in BIM and VDC. Please bring them along for this special meeting. There are plans for an after-party at 111, and that's just one block from the Long Beach Promenade. This Thursday will be an excellent opportunity for you to network with colleagues from across the profession. That is SCRUG's primary purpose. If you attended any of our recent meeting you know what to expect. We apologize for the short notice. There will be a limit on the number of attendees. Thursday, June 21, 2018 6:00 to 8:30 p.m. Please RSVP at SCRUG.Anyvite.com . No “maybes”. Thanks to our sponsors Kelar Pacific, Mic...

BIM-4-Homebuilders

Building Information Modeling has gained acceptance in market sectors other than home building. BIM has become a requirement for large and complex projects, but even with the current upturn in the housing market, many builders - and the designers who serve them - are hesitant to get involved. At the SCRUG BIM Housing Forum , a panel of the leading residential architects and builders in Orange County will discuss their outlook with regard to Building Information Modeling. The purpose of the conference is to promote the awareness, adoption and use of BIM and other advanced technologies within the housing industry in Southern California. The BIM-4-Homebuilders Conference will define and clarify: What is happening in the residential BIM world? What is possible? What does "collaboration" really mean? How can we reduce cost and/or increase profit. How does BIM support Lean, Green, and Sustainable architecture? What is the "M...
