LaptopšŸ’» vs DesktopšŸ–„ WFH Edition

Like many (most) people I have been working from home for the last couple of years. However, unlike most, this was my plan, as when I started at BIM Track in January 2020 I was hired as a full-time remote worker. Now the other side of that plan back in January 2020 was that I would be doing lots of travel to conferences and tradeshows worldwide to talk about BIM, AEC workflows and of course BIM Track…well that didn’t really play out as expected. Nevertheless, this combination of full-time WFH and travel was why I was given a laptop as my work computer, but in hindsight maybe a desktop would have been a better call?

Autodesk Expert Elite

This week I was honored to be invited to join the Autodesk Expert Elite Program.

The program itself is really about the AECO community and those within it helping others but sharing knowledge and experience.

The Expert Elite program recognizes customers around the world who contribute to the Autodesk Community by sharing their product knowledge, best practices and expertise. By acting as leaders and being actively involved, Expert Elites help our customer community to thrive.

From the Autodesk Expert Elite Page

Yesterday BIM Track congratulated me on my achievement and shared the news with the industry.

This is when it really hit me the amazing group of people from the AECO and BIM world I had just joined as part of this program. There was “welcome to the team” messages and thumbs-ups from likes of Kimberly Fuhrman, Deepak Maini, Jarod Schultz, Rina Sahay, John Pierson, Daniel Stine, Jonathan Hand, Jason Boehning, Purvi Irwin and Marcello Sgambelluri to name a few. So I really hope I can do my part to help the community in just a small way to be worthy of this group!

If you know someone out there that you think should be part of the Autodesk Expert Elite program you can nominate them using the link below:

DoC Event #009 – Dynamo and its Grasshopper equivalent using Rhino.InsideĀ®.Revit

This is a joint event with DoE

Date:Ā Wednesday, June 24th, 2020

Time:Ā 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm MDT

Location:Ā Online via Zoom

This will be the Third DoC event of the 2019 – 2020 season. Event #009 will feature a remote presentation aboutĀ Dynamo,Ā GrasshopperĀ &Ā R.I.R.Ā fromĀ Marcello SgambelluriĀ ofĀ John A. Martin & Associates

Dynamo and its Grasshopper equivalent using Rhino.InsideĀ®.Revit

Presented byĀ Marcello SgambelluriĀ ofĀ John A. Martin & AssociatesĀ (virtual session)

There is a new technology that is emerging in the AECO+ industry. It is called Rhino Inside Revit and it allows Revit to access all of Rhino’s powerful functionally including Grasshopper.

So, we decided to avoid turning this session into another ā€œintro to Rhino.Inside.Revitā€. Instead, let’s look at Grasshopper for Revit in a different light. This session will show all of you Dynamo for Revit users how to make equivalent functions in Grasshopper including creating Revit Beams, Revit Walls and even Moose…

Let’s find out what Grasshopper for Revit is really made of!

So if you want to have a fun time please join us and don’t forget to bring all your questions and concerns up to the presenter to keep the session lively.
