Revit expert Dan Stine provides a detailed overview of the new features in the just-released Revit 2023, including duplicate material and assets, improved energy analysis model creation, performance enhancements, structural analytical model overhaul, IFC parameters, new MEP categories, and many more.
In this article, Peter Twohy, founder and principal of 2e Architects, shows how the use of Virtual Reality created with Twinmotion can dramatically increase client satisfaction, as well as how to integrate the use of Twinmotion with the BIM workflow of Archicad.
Tom Simmons of ARCHVISTA Consulting shows how to use ModelPort to resolve problems such as file size, polygon count, layer management, and missing materials with models downloaded from manufacturer websites before using them in Archicad.
This article provides an overview of the new options in Revit 2022 for civil, site, and landscape design, and how to use them with other Autodesk tools to produce high fidelity site models and collaborate with civil engineers.
This article explores the cutting-edge AEC technology applications developed by CORE Studio, a dedicated software development group at Thornton Tomasetti. The applications including Konstru, Swarm, Asterisk, Trace, and many more for design, analysis, collaboration and visualization.
Layer is a new AEC application that was launched close to six months ago to address what seems to be an obvious need in the industry—organizing and integrating the vast amount of disparate data that is typically collected on site during the retrofit or construction of a building project.
Fender Katsalidis describes the implementation of AEC technology on the “Merdeka 118” project, a 118-storey, mega-tall skyscraper under construction in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Upon completion, it will become the tallest building in Malaysia and Southeast Asia, and the second-tallest building in the world.
This article questions why we still don’t have a smart building design tool which does not require us to painstakingly model every detail in our buildings, but can automatically create much of it from a conceptual sketch using a rule-based expert system.
