South Coast Revit Users Group (SCRUG) Membership

I have just finished reviewing the membership rolls.

Total Membership		594
Global Members	44
U.S. Members	550
California	457
L.A. Metro	408

We have more than four hundred members from around Southern California, most of those from Orange County. Our members represent almost 130 architecture, design, and engineering firms.

The advent of Artificial Intelligence in Building Information Modeling will affect every member of this group. The SCRUG is eager to promote continuous learning and promote discussion among colleagues and peers regarding the inevitable changes that may arrive sooner than anticipated. Stay tuned.

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...
