October SCRUG - Revit Collaboration Strategies

Colleagues,

Working in Revit can be a challenge between different offices of the same firm. It is a nightmare trying to collaborate between 10-30 consulting firms scattered across North America (or the world).

We will look at the “state of technology” and the pros/cons of various strategies for AEC design and construction collaboration. Technologies such as Panzura, Nasuni, Citix, Vmware, C4R, A360, non-Revit design tools, and hybrid/project clouds are just a few that we will discuss.

Chris France, Regional President Advance2000, has specialized in Information Technology for over three decades. He started his career as a software and systems engineer and progressed to program manager of major DOD systems. He worked for IBM, Bank of America and Wells Fargo, and then was CIO at Little Diversified Architectural Consulting, a Charlotte-based design firm.

Chris leads the charge for “private cloud computing” services At Advance2000, and is a published author and speaker on this important business strategy. Chris holds a bachelor’s degree in computer science from The Ohio State College of Engineering and a master’s degree in business from the State University of New York at Binghamton.

AI in AEC

I've made a commitment to facilitating dialog about AI in AECO and to rebuilding the culture of sharing among our local BIM community. There is already so much information and so many choices in the BIM+AI arena that agreement on the “best” solution is impossible. Fortunately, my search quickly guided me to Stjepan Mikulik, a former BIM leader at Bjark Ingels Group (BIG). Stjepan has taken the challenge of making sense of this phenomenon. He has created a free database of AI products for AEC. Sign up to gain access to free information about more than 1200 solutions for integrating AI in AEC https://www.aiinaec.com/ For a jump start, view Stjepan’s discussion with BIMPure blogger Nicolas Catellier on YouTube: The AI Revolution in AEC and BIM with Stjepan Mikulic | BIM Pure Live #072 Here are a few products and solutions identified: DESIGN CREATION Stable Diffusion – https://stability.ai/stable-image MidJourney – https://www.midjourney.com/ Corbu – https://corbu.a...

BIM Planning and LoD

For members not familiar with BIM planning, it is the process of developing and documenting the various responsibilities of the stakeholders involved in a BIM project. As defined in the Penn State guide, the stages of BIM planning are: Identify BIM Goals and Uses Design the BIM Project Execution Process Develop Information Exchanges Define the Supporting Infrastructure for BIM Implementation Level of Detail vs. Level of Development The LoD concept was developed by VICO Software for construction cost estimation. Faced with the problem of determining how accurate, or how definitive, were the model elements to which they wished to assign costs, they developed the concept they called "Level of Detail". LOD 100 meant not very definitive (an area or volume rate is accurate enough) LOD 200 assume the number of items in the model is correct, but use an estimate for each, LOD 300 items are identified and actual cost can be used, LOD 400 is a m...
