[VIDEO] How to Load Revit Families into Your Projects

Greetings from the Infrastructure Universe! In addition to some recent updates to note, I also have some awesome resources for InfraWorks and Civil 3D for you. Read on for all the updates and make sure you watch the videos.

BIM is rapidly becoming more and more prevalent in the AEC industry. As this growth occurs, implementing 3D laser scanning can help designers and engineers process more information and create smoother workflows for a project.

Work sharing and effective communication on projects are essential to maximizing efficiency on your Revit projects. Discover how Collaboration for Revit can help with real-time communication, making informed decisions, and advanced BIM collaboration.

At first glance, I thought AutoCAD 2019 seemed light on new features. But then I heard about One AutoCAD. Check out my conversation with CADLearning’s Senior Content Manager David Cohn about the new release and what it means for AutoCAD users.

I love to help companies optimize their licensing structure, and the recent announcement of “One AutoCAD” (aka AutoCAD with Specialized Toolsets) is a great opportunity for teams that have network licenses. Here’s why.

You may have heard that with the 2017 release of Revit, Autodesk replaced the Revit vertical offerings (Architecture, MEP and Structure) with Revit (sometimes called “one-box”). What does this mean for you? Revit now contains the capabilities of all three verticals in one application. So, if you were previously using Revit Architecture, for example, you can now do everything you could do before (and more!) in Revit.

When working on a project in Revit, it is crucial to have your resources well-organized. A Revit Library can save your company a great deal of time while also strengthening the company brand standards. Learn 7 steps for getting your Revit Library started:

Revit projects involve several moving pieces and information to help us understand the story of our projects. This guide is intended to give you the best practices for creating Symbols, translating existing Symbols, and storing Symbols.

How familiar are you with the skills and weaknesses of each member of your team? If your answered “not very” to this question, then know that this lack of insight can actually inhibit your ability to empower your team to generate the best possible work. When you are informed, however, you can capitalize on each team member’s individual strengths and increase your productivity and quality of work.

You can’t discuss technology in the building industry without mentioning BIM. However, those in the know are looking ahead to another emerging technology that will bring improvements to the industry: 3D laser scanning. Laser scanning can create a point cloud image using size and location data collected from real objects in a certain space.

If you haven’t heard by now, Bluebeam Revu 2018 was released in April with a brand-new user interface. Discover the 8 new features you need to know in this highly anticipated release:

The newly released Autodesk® Revit® 2017 brings more stability and uptime with improvements to over 100 functions in the program. Revit is made for BIM and, in the 2017 release, features more efficient processes to connect architectural design, MEP and structural engineering. Below is a collection of resources to help you discover what is possible in Revit 2017.

The acquisition creates a team with an unparalleled portfolio of hardware, software, and services to address the needs of the construction and building industry.

The BIM Elephant returns, asking the popular question, “where is my ROI from using BIM?” My colleague Damon Socha and I dive in offering a different perspective.

In this short clip, Aaron Wagner gives you a quick look at how you can use different views in Revit to make your project documentation more meaningful.
