Autodesk has released Service Pack 3 for all three flavors of Navisworks 2015. This service pack fixes an irritating problem that was created by Service Pack 2 of only being able to appended models/files one at a time.
The Autodesk Application Manager has these updates on it now, or you can download it from here
I have also attached the read-me file if anyone is so inclined.

This is a need little video that will show you what Screencast can do in less than 2 minutes (1:58 to be exact). Now if you are like me and spend a lot of time teaching and supporting Revit then you will find this a very helpful little tool.
You can download the free software at screencast.autodesk.com and “show them all how you did that!”

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.”
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.
Another post about the updates to BIM 360 Glue, this time from the team over at Beyond Design
Collaborative clash resolution with BIM 360 Glue
Productivity isn’t about long hours and number of task completed, but making sure you get those few right task completed.

If you are in or around the Edmonton, Alberta, Canada area, or planed to be around Sept. 30th – Oct. 2nd, 2014 you should check out the BIM Super Session 2014. This is a join event put on by CanBIM and aceBIM that will focus on the current and future trends of BIM, with topics areas like Facilities Management, Collaboration, Procurement and more.
You can get more info about the event, and all the registration details at the CanBIM website.
The Revit Jedi also has a good blog post about it on his site (he is a sponsor and a speaker), see blog post here
Hope to see you there!

This is one of the things I love about BIM 360 Glue, it is constantly getting updates, improvements, and big fixes during the course of the year. It’s not like other Autodesk software were you need to wait until the next version (will be 2016 now) comes out, and hope that the fix or new functionality you are looking for is there.
With this latest update for BIM 360 Glue the focus is on some improvements (some would say much need improvements) to the clash detection side of Glue.
The 3 main additions or improvements are:
2. Improved clash filtering for easier focus on specific clash issue you care about.
3. Clash markups!
The best part is that these feature are available for new AND existing projects in BIM 360 Glue!
See the complete rundown on whats new this update (and past updates) here from the “What’s new in BIM 360 Glue” page.

The week that was in the world of BIM and other Techie fun stuff, for the week of July 13th – 19th, 2014
Here is a good post on BIM overload by Scott over at Revit Jedi (technically this is from last week, but I wasn’t doing this last week)
Post #2 in this weeks roundup from Revit Jedi about having a purpose for your modeling……and something about a dolphin?

I really enjoy what Epic BIM put out for posts, so even though this is a few weeks old I wanted to add it to this roundup. This post is about the “Babble Fish”, whats the Babble fish well read below to find out.
A little Dynamo love from Nathan Miller as he brings his lunch box into Revit with the latest update for Dynamo version 0.7 (update from 0.6)
Life Hacks, because we all need them. Some of these are so simple it’s brilliant and some of them just blew my mind……like 2, 3, and 45

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.
