Scott R. posted an article on - Jun 5, 2011, 8:11 am

How Does BIM Change Your Project Processes and Where Does Revit Fit In?

Scott R. posted an article on - Apr 6, 2011, 5:47 pm
As I’ve stated before, BIM is a paradigm shift from the way we’ve worked before.  That goes for whether you’re in the architecture, engineering or construction industry.  We’re not swapping out one software application for another.  I’m not even sure there’s a “one to one” swappin...

Scott R. posted an article on - Mar 30, 2011, 12:09 pm
“BIM!  BIM!  BIM!  I’ve heard about BIM, and I want to…  What is BIM?  I don’t want BIM, I want Revit.  I don’t want Revit, I want BIM.  OK, BIM, Revit, I get it now, how can I integrate into my…” I’ve heard this a lot and and what I have found, as someone who manages BIM at a...

Happy New Year all!  The transition to Revit from (fill in the blank) continues throughout the industry and I wanted to comment on the need for an experienced person on every Revit-based project.  I often mention to people that nowhere within the Revit help files does it mention the specifics of h...

Last Pratt Class and a Different Way of Using a Background Image and mr Physical Sky

Scott R. posted an article on - May 8, 2010, 9:16 pm
This past Thursday night was my last class at Pratt for a while and, ironically, the same exact last question as last year was asked: how can I use the mr Physical Sky as well as a custom background image at the same time.  At the end of the last semester, I did some research and found a solution t...
