white paper Conceptual Design and Modeling with Autodesk Revit Architecture
Autodesk® Revit® Architecture 2010 includes a robust collection of easy-to-use modeling tools for quick and precise design conceptualization, visualization, and communication. This white paper details how CASE Design, a design technology consultancy based in New York City, used the new conceptual design tools to more easily create massing designs, explore design alternatives, and address various environmental, constructability, and aesthetic concerns.
white paper BIM’s Missing Link: Standards Validation
Call it garbage in/garbage out, but like any anything else, a Building Information Model is only as correct, as the information that goes into creating it. Read on about the future of BIM and how new tools can help improve BIM accuracy.
white paper BIM Dos and Dont’s – Two BIM professionals offer some real-world insights for success. (Cadalyst.com, November 2007)
Avatech shares five key pitfalls and essential steps for a successful, full-fledged building information modeling (BIM) conversion.
white paper Rosado on Revit (Acronym, Issue 6, Fall 2007)
Revit Architecture from Autodesk is designed to help architects move to building information modeling (BIM) at their own pace. Acronym’s editor, Carolyn Beasley, talked to one of Avatech Solutions’ BIM experts about adopting, implementing and deploying some the time saving coordination and quality features of Revit Architecture 2008.
white paper AutoCAD Architecture Productivity Study
Are you an architect trying to decide between AutoCAD® and AutoCAD® Architecture software? This study, performed by an independent third party, compares the time required to complete typical tasks.
white paper AutoCAD Architecture: Making AutoCAD Better for Architects
Noted author and industry luminary Ed Goldberg shares his ideas on how AutoCAD users can begin using AutoCAD Architecture to realize immediate benefits.
white paper Multi-user Collaboration with Revit Structure Worksharing
Read more about the capabilities of worksets, offering techniques for firms to help ensure successful multi-user worksharing on Revit Structure building information models.
white paper Revit Structure Interoperability with AutoCAD
Introduction to structural engineers and drafters who use AutoCAD - highlighting some of the main concepts in Revit Structure, comparing and contrasting them to familiar AutoCAD concepts, and explaining how Revit Structure and AutoCAD can be used together.
white paper Interoperability between Revit Structure and AutoCAD Architecture
Structural engineers who use Revit Structure software can better coordinate their work with architects who use AutoCAD Architecture.
white paper Effective Collaboration using Revit Structure and AutoCAD MEP
Structural engineers using Revit Structure software and mechanical/electrical/plumbing (MEP) engineers using AutoCAD MEP can improve their design coordination and collaboration. Learn how.
white paper Revit Structure and BIM
Revit Structure extends the Revit building information modeling into structural design. This paper examines the value of structural engineering workflows supported by building information models.
white paper Revit MEP: BIM for MEP Engineering
Revit MEP is the purpose-built building information modeling (BIM) software for mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) engineering.
white paper Building Performance Analysis Using Revit
This white paper is the first in a series of papers exploring the usage of the Revit platform to facilitate faster, more accurate Building Performance Analysis (BPA).
white paper Top Tips for a Successful BIM Implementation (Acronym, Issue 4, Spring 2007)
When it comes to moving from 2D drafting to full-fledged building information modeling (BIM) and 3D parametric design, technology changes necessitate significant cultural, process and workflow standards adjustments as well. Based on hundreds of successful implementations, Avatech considers these tips vital to success.
white paper KEY Steps to Successful BIM Implementation (Acronym, February, 2007)
BIM is not a technology solution; but its implementation does require significant cultural, process and workflow changes. Generating a solid plan for all aspects of BIM implementation will help organizations to ensure successful BIM adoption.
white paper Move Over to the Fast Lane on the Road to Building Information Modeling (ACEC Virginia News – November/December 2006)
Building Information Modeling (BIM) extends to the entire team - land surveyors, architects, structural and MEP engineers. Learn how everyone involved in the building lifecycle can work together more effectively, and access real-time information while coordinating modifications.
