Today my friends and I from the design group are finishing up three days training on some software called Revit. Revit is Autodesk's Building Information Modeling (BIM) software. This type of software is what CAD has evolved into. In short, you draw buildings in 3d vs. 2d. A more detailed explanation would be that BIM is a new Computer Aided Design (CAD) paradigm that allows for intelligent, 3D and parametric object-based design. In this way, Revit provides full bi-directional associativity. A change anywhere is a change everywhere, instantly, with no user interaction to manually update any view. A BIM model contains the building's full life cycle, from concept to construction to decommissioning.With all that said, I am excited about incorporating this fun technology into the design group.
