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...

Colleagues, In another first for the South Coast Revit Users Group, this Thursday, June 21st, we are escaping from Orange County to hold our first L.A. meeting at Studio One Eleven in Long Beach. (Just one block from the Long Beach Promenade.) Studio One Eleven is an innovative multidisciplinary design firm founded in 1999. Practice areas include Mixed-Use Development, Affordable and Market Rate Housing, Adaptive Re-use, Transit Oriented Development and Urban Retail. The office was transformed from a vacant retail store into vibrant, creative office space while achieving LEED Platinum and WELL Gold ratings. Scan2BIM Scan2BIM is a process which utilizes high definition laser scanning to create high accuracy 3D BIM models for retrofit, refurbishment and renovation projects. LIDAR Scanning is becoming more widely used, less expensive, and easier to work with. If you want a Revit as-built model, accurate topo surface, verify site grading, or verify construction installation, ...

Colleagues, On Thursday, May 31st the SCRUG will meet at Taylor Design in Irvine. Taylor Design is a strategy-based design firm with practices in Architectural Design, Interior Design and Design Strategy. Their markets include healthcare design, education, science & technology, and senior living. Taylor was an early advocate of 3D modeling for architecture, and continues to be a technology leader. Long-time SCRUG member  Steve Bennett  will take a quick dive into the Kaiser Permanente Ventura Medical Office project to review a few key benefits of producing the project using Revit - including a plugin they’ve been using to produce Furniture Specification Reports. This will be followed by a quick glimpse into VR 101, how easy it is to get going with VR, and why your teams should be using it to inform their design process. Taylor will have their HTC Vive set up for viewing a design model in VR. In addition, U.S. CAD Technology Consultant  Troy Gates  will ...
