If the title of this tech topic got your attention, you are one of the many Revit users that have been struggling using multiple monitors while working on a Revit project.
We’ve seen the beauty of drawing tabs for quite a few releases in AutoCAD and now we get them in Revit.
Not only do tabs make switching views in Revit a breeze, we can now drag multiple views to another monitor, dock them, maximize them, cycle through them using Ctrl+Tab, and even tile them!!!
This is an addition that we’ve been waiting for!!! Thank you Autodesk!!! Click on the image below to see a short video from Autodesk demonstrating Multi-Monitor Support in Revit 2019.
Creating a fully attributed 3D model to satisfy the BIM requirements of a project has become a requirement for many projects due to the BIM Level 2 government mandate. Current BIM software is primarily focused on architectural applications and overlooks the specific requirements of complex and large-scale landscape architecture (LA) and master planning (MP) projects. The talk will outline how we developed a script for Civil 3D to add additional attributes to C3D and AutoCAD objects; Surfaces, Blocks and Solids, the challenges we faced, and how we approached them. The class will follow our workflow on a 200 ha site for a major event, where we used C3D to create a BIM model for LA, lighting, and signage elements, importing them into Navisworks for clash detection and collaboration with other disciplines, such as civil engineers and architects. We will also cover the fundamentals of what attribute data was required, the rationale behind the choices, and how we managed data drops.
TARGET AUDIENCE
Building/Civil Engineering, Civil Engineer and Technician, Construction Engineer, Construction Manager, Cost Engineer/Estimator, IT Manager/CAD Equipment Manager, Landscape Designer
SPEAKERS
SHAUN COLLINS
Shaun has practised landscape architecture for 13 years, first in Queenstown, New Zealand, and then for the last 10 years in London. Most of his work has been at the construction phase of public realm projects, including Regent’s Place in London and the Qatar Public Realm in Qatar. Since joining AECOM in 2014 as an associate director, he has taken on roles in technical development for the department and business line. This involved developing the BIM capability of the Landscape Department and coordinating with the other disciplines to allow greater collaboration across the company.
Heads up. It looks like the latest .NET 4.7 update is breaking some Autodesk products.
Microsoft is installing .NET 4.7 as part of their auto updates and it is causing many legacy Autodesk applications to crash on any ribbon interaction. Touch the ribbon, away goes your software. We have seen cases where the product will also not launch after .NET 4.7 is installed.
If you can keep from installing the 4.7 framework do so. If the damage is already done then uninstall .NET 4.7 and install .NET 4.6.2 using this download link. Note that the uninstall of the offending version must be done first!
