Guest Blogger Mark Beauman: World of BIM

January 6, 2013

There are a few websites now that offer free BIM content from manufacturers But there has never been a central point where architects, engineers and construction related professionals can access commercial BIM content through a flexible platform. It is for this reason World of BIM was created. I am a great believer and supporter of manufacturers providing their own BIM content free to the community. However there will always be

July 11, 2010 to July 11, 2012: Has it been two years already?

July 12, 2012

My second year of blogging I’m now at two years of never missing a week. I can’t believe that. This is post 213, which means I’m averaging slightly OVER 2 posts a week. I did not plan on that. I really meant to do only one post a week. I guess since I quit my day job, I’ve just been having too much fun posting and thinking about ArchiCAD. We

The Principal Work Environment from Graphisoft North America

July 2, 2012

So this is part 2G. Like all those countless movie sequels, it’s time to change up the post titles and not highlight that this is the equivalent of 2007’s Land Before Time XIII: The Wisdom of Friends. Just call it Land Before Time: The Wisdom of Friends. There’s no need to see the original Land Before Time movie to appreciate this umpteenth sequel. By the way, I saw the original

Guest Blogger Endre Ilauszky: We call it manuBIM…

June 19, 2012

At the end of last year, an ex-colleague of mine and I — after 18 and 12 memorable years spent at GraphisoftÂ — decided to carry on with the work we did as GDL fans in our former workplace with heart and hand. Since we established our new company, many friends have asked what manuBIM means Well, it’s not an unknown deap-sea animal —as we usually say 🙂 — but parametric

BIM Components at Your Fingertips – Webinar

June 6, 2012

It’s webinar season! I’m sure there are just as many webinars throughout the year, but I feel like I’ve watched a bunch in the past two months. And I’ve signed up for a ton in the next few weeks. In fact I just signed up for this one (and I am watching this one in 2 1/2 hours). Discover ArchiCAD 16’s brand new direct modeling capabilities together with BIMcomponents.com, GRAPHISOFT’s

Adventures in GDL — guest blogger Kristian Bursell shares the origins of CADSwift

January 11, 2012

I officially entered the building design realm through the Architecture and Environmental Design course at the University of Canberra. After constantly being told that my ideals were that of a dreamer I became unsure of myself and decided the safe option was to follow the notions of friends, family and university Lecturer’s on “what life is”. However I felt nothing when I reached the milestones they said would bring fulfilment;

TVs, Plotters, Computer Screens, Paintings, and Self Promotion

November 28, 2011

Paintings and the Art of Self-Referencing A year ago I wrote about putting paintings and wall art in models. I recommended a trick using walls, niches, and aligning 3D textures. It’s a good technique, but I have to admit that I now rarely use it for hanging pictures. I finally got around to using the Picture 15 object. It’s great and fast.
