Weekly Roundup – 2018.38

The BIMsider’s favourite posts from the world of BIM – for the week of Sept. 16th – Sept. 22nd, 2018.

Ultimate tech tip from @Steve_Stafford 👍 https://t.co/4Qt77kqZAR . Although personally I prefer Slacking my colleagues and working out the answer before giving them time to get back to me 🙄. Should DM myself, really.

5) A hot topic week was Autodesk announcing that it would end the Revit Extensions with Revit 2019 (2018 last ones published) This lead to lots of posts, tweets and Revit Ideas post to have them open sourced.

Opensource Redundant Revit Addins (Click the link and vote if you agree) (Revit Product Forums)

I really wish @AutodeskRevit would make code they have no use for available to the community and not just say "go buy something else". It's why I don't like their add-ons because they decide when I don't need it, I wish a had a choice as a customer. https://t.co/kN37fMdqr9
