Weekly Roundup – 2014.19

The week that was in the world of BIM and other Techie fun stuff, for the week of Nov. 23rd – Nov. 29th.

This is kind of interesting, and until I read about it on What Revit Wants I didn’t know it was a thing (of course t is still in Beta so maybe I’m not the only one) but seems there is a Design Academy from Autodesk.

In case you missed it – Design Academy Beta is now Live

Another post from What Revit Wants with a different way to look at LOD, maybe simplify it a little.

A different take on LODs

On last weeks Roundup (Actually 2 weeks ago) I had a post from The Construction App Guru on new Safety Apps, while this week he has posted part 2.

I don’t normally get into a lot of ID (Interior Design) Stuff on this blog, but this artificial by The Midnight Lunch is for sure worth a read.

Some of you that use Navisworks may already know abut this “Known Issue” with no suitable geometry when export form Revit to Navisworks in 2015. What Revit Wants has a post this week that talks about a work around that might help you out with this “Know Issue”.
