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?

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.

#CANBIMCGY20 – Calgary Virtual Session 2020 – June 16th

If you have not signed up yet for the CanBIM Calgary Virtual Session next week, what are you waiting for!

This event is Tuesday, June 16th, 2020, 8:45 am – 4:45 pm EDT

The Future of Work
Designing Resiliency and Building Safety Post-COVID

Predicting how our world will be impacted due to COVID-19 is difficult. Obviously, this crisis has already affected the building industry from a productivity perspective and will have a permanent effect on how we consider safety for our workers. As we consider these impacts we should expect an additional level of attention in design to be paid to Infectious Disease Control beyond Hospital environments. We should, therefore, expect that architectural design and specifications, specifically the physical gateways that control our built environment, will accommodate the technology systems and processes necessary to keep Society safe. What role will infectious disease specialists play in the design process? How will the building’s IOT strategy accommodate and collect the data required to help Society perform epidemiological contact tracing? What will be the new requirements for design? Ā How will this impact existing buildings and future projects? What are the long term supply chain implications? We are gathering the top minds in Canada to start the discussion around this subject. Please join us!
