This is important. Find time in the next few weeks (before September 24th, 2012) to download and comment on the updated AIA BIM and Related Digital Practice Documents. If you’re using BIM, or thinking about it, then these changes are important to you. You can read more details on the BIM Engine Blog here. That’s how I learned about this. Do it. Now.
Finith Jernigan’s latest book, Makers of the Environments recently won a Global Ebook Award. That’s great. Congratulations Finith! Very much deserved. Read more about the award here. Finith’s writing and the Origins of Shoegnome Back when I started Shoegnome (now almost 2 1/2 years ago, yikes!), I had a few vague ideas about what my plans were. I thought I’d write a blog and make a little side money acting
When I quit my day job in February, I started living off To-Do lists. Some items were minor: go to Target, do the laundry, e-mail the neighbors. Most where things related to my daily work life: write two blog posts, updated the LinkedIn profile, record more videos.

The difference between the 2 PDFs in this image? One fill Left without vectorial fill = 12 KB. Right with vectorial fill = 1.6 MB. This is one of those semi-secrets of ArchiCAD. 3D is better than 2D. We all know that. But more often than not, all the 3D elements take up less hard drive space than all the 2D ones. Stuff a project with tons of 2D
Shoegnome would never have existed if I wasn’t such a huge fan of Onland.info. I’ve gushed over James Murray’s blog before. He stopped updating his site about the time I started writing mine, so I feel a responsibility to carry the torch he held for so many years.

There are a lot of little tweaks in every version of ArchiCAD that don’t get top billing. Or any billing at all. Yet some of these changes are huge and exciting for us nerdy, obsessive users. There is a great list (started by ArchiCAD Hero Link Ellis) from last year on the ArchiCAD forum detailing all these unannounced changes for ArchiCAD 15. I wrote a post about it. Discover both
