The week that was in the world of BIM and other Techie fun stuff, for the weeks of July 20th – 26th, 2014 & July 27th – Aug. 2nd.

So this is actually 2 weekly Roundups in one as i was on Holidays last week and didn’t get a post up last week. I know only 2nd week of posting and already I’m taking a vacation.

This looks like it could be the start of a good series of Blog post from the team over at Summit Technologies & Summit BIM. Here is what its about: “Dynamo for the 99% will be a series of posts highlighting the use of Dynamo for practical data manipulation or time-saving tasks that could apply to most Revit users.”

Dynamo for the 99%

This is a cool post about making a “Paper” model in Revit, it comes form out friend over at Revit Jedi, who turned on to the idea by Daniel Stine.

A great post from (bim)x about how to tell if a project should be a BIM project or not.

I have been thinking about doing a blog for a while now and figured its just time to get it done. I actually started setting this blog up back in January, guess it was a New Years resolution.

My idea for this blog is that it will be MY take on all things BIM (I know super original) as well as other cool technology stuff that I come across. I spend a lot of my time at the Office working on the software side, Revit, Navisworks, BIM 360 Glue & Field to name a few.

I would like to try and update this blog weekly, but seeing as it took half a year to do the first post not sure how realistic that is. I also like the idea of doing a weekly roundup of all the best BIM related blogs and news from out on the World Wide Web.

I guess we will see how that all works out, but I’m going to hit the post button now to make this all real.
