New Web Communities

I've found a couple of web communities that have been growing fast and have been a good source for interaction and learning.


Revit Society was started by Daniel P, to focus on Revit and learn from others. Daniel being in the structural world, there may be less people to tap into than there are in the architectural world.  The website has grown and has many many members. What I've liked is the international community joining in and connecting with each other.  So far there are people asking questions, posting video tutorials to help each other out, there's even an area set up for students. Daniel started the website, with blank forum page, magazine page, groups page, but members have started creating in each area and it's been a great source for me to see what else is out there. I hope you visit and join.


BIM Fusion is not Revit specific but all about BIM.  Their forums area does break things down by industry and program, it's a great setup.  There are also areas for videos, blogs, events and groups to setup.


Both websites provide a chat area for members.


BIMable.com is a neat website also; this one is all about providing information about BIM.  I like to check it out once in a while to see what news there is related to BIM and my industry. It's nice to have it all in one place!


I wanted to share these web sites I've found as they have been a great find.  I hope you find them useful also.

AUGI - Career Center

Not only does AUGI have a program to teach us, the forums help us learn from each other, there are publications that keep us updated on the products and technology we use, but now they are also going to help us find a job! Isn't that awesome! AUGI has created a Career Center.


AUGI's Career Center has an area for Job Seekers, for Employers and Recruiters.
For Job Seekers: You can post your resume, create an account to receive alerts on job postings, etc.
For Employers/Recruiters: View posted resumes, post a job, create an account etc.


Another reason to join AUGI, please pass on this information to anyone you know that needs it!

2 months later - AU 2009

So I've not posted in a while, this has been harder that I thought, I have lots of topics but I'm not a good communicator, but I've made a promise to post even if I sound like a fool (I don't embarrass too easily). 

AU is coming soon less than 100 days now, and this year I hope to make lots of connections, our office has some exciting projects where I need to be an expert at Revit soon, well I don't have to be but I really want to be, so I will be picking a lot of brains at AU2009!!

To start - I'm studying up on how large projects are put together and I found a great post today on AUGI I'll be trying out some of what I read and I'll post my results soon, for sure this time!

No e publicado en dos meses, esta aventura ha sido más difícil de lo que yo pensaba, tengo un montón de temas, pero no soy buena en la area de comunicación así que he hecho una promesa a mi misma, que publicare aunque suene un poco absurdo (no me avergüenzo fácilmente).

La conferencia de Autodesk, AU empieza pronto, faltan menos de 100 dias, y este año espero conocer y conectarme con muchas personas.  Nuestra oficina tiene algunos proyectos interestantes donde tengo que ser un experto en Revit pronto, bueno no es necesario pero si quiero serlo.  Estare   hacienda muchas preguntas y molestando a much gente en AU2009!!

Para comenzar,  estoy estudiando cómo los proyectos grandes son arreglados en Revit. Y encontré un poste hoy en AUGI que estaré probando en estos dias, y esta ves de seguro publicare mis resultados!

Revit 2010 Conceptual Design White Paper

On the design reform webiste you can find the white paper that Autodesk will be or should have already released, sorry I don't have the link to the Autodesk page.

Check out the Revit tutorials they have on their website, they are pretty good and very helpful.  When Revit 2010 was freshly out, I used David's tutorials to get my head around the new conceptual massing family.  I prefer it over the old way of creating masses, hopefully those tools will end up in the Family editor next version :o)

Enjoy!
