BIM Consortium Delivers | API Learning Gold


Recently @LARUG | Kyle Spitznagel from Hathaway Dinwidde presented on the Revit API and as promised -here come the presentation slide-deck and reference files that Kyle created and shared with us, to help get our API Learn on ;)

but first:

I have been lucky enough to have enjoyed the pleasure of collaborating with Kyle, Brian, John and Daniel (well ok, the whole team) at HDCCO to dial in the BIM direction for The Village at USC, now well under construction...

HDCCO is one of the trusted voices of reason & reality in the AECO landscape of Los Angeles whom I look to quite often.

Also, The Village is looking great guys!!!

Anyhow; last month Kyle presented on Possible Possibilities | the Revit API and You to a great crowd, very intent on getting some gold ;) on their way to learning all things Revit! Therefore, in the spirit that LARUG and The BIM Consortium tries to inspire, below are the fore-mentioned documents for your downloading pleasure(s)

Project Stingray | Live @LARUG | September 2015

The images may be links ;)

 

http://www.meetup.com/LA-Revit-User-Group/events/223896702/


Just Added!!!
Jim McCullough will be presenting a look into distributed location collaboration enhancements with Panzura devices, I am sure Troy Gates and others ;) will have some sharing of real-world experiences as well :D

As Jim's abstract states:
"The WAN can hinder an organization’s ability to collaborate with Revit, resulting in reduced productivity, higher IT infrastructure and increased change order costs. This session discusses the key requirements to enable cross-site Revit collaboration that makes it feels like global project teams are working in the same room."

See you Wednesday!

Possible Possibilities | the Revit API and You


Is LARUG excited for this month's presenter Kyle Spitznagel from Hathaway Dinwiddie to be at our August 19th, 6pm meeting at AC Martin's #DTLA offices -and are we going to use his own (quoted) blurb about what he is presenting?

"You bet. I’ll be presenting an introduction to the Revit API, with a focus on Macros. Here’s some text and images."

OK Kyle, let's just slow down ;) One image first ;)

http://www.meetup.com/LA-Revit-User-Group/events/223265221/
 “This month’s LARUG will include an introduction to programming in the Revit API. 

Although this discussion will demonstrate a fair bit of code, it is geared towards beginners, and assumes no knowledge of Macros or programming in general. 

If you’ve got a laptop with Revit installed, you may benefit from following along with the lecture by trying out some of the commands demonstrated. 

Aside from that, just bring an interest in learning about the API, as well as questions about what is possible.”





-Well said and about all that is needed, other than those other images and link to the LARUG meetup page... for a direct link to this meeting's invite (where you can join as well) simply click one of the images above/below...

See you soon!

Revit Interoperability | The Current State of Dynamo | +Past | +Future


http://www.meetup.com/LA-Revit-User-Group/events/223000957/

Ian (yes, Ian Keough: the Dynamo-ista with the most-est) will give us a tour of Dynamo from a brief historical outline through the current state and ultimately future plans for developing Dynamo for Revit. 

We’ll look at some of the most interesting packages created by the Dynamo community for data-interop with Revit including LunchBox and Bumblebee. 

Plus, we’ll see a few projects that leveraged Dynamo to solve complex BIM challenges.

If you didn't notice the image above is a link... Here;)

@LARUG July 2015 | Discover Your Formulas and Abandon Them

Inspired once again by one of  Brian Eno and Peter Schmidt's Oblique Strategies;  (Click me for an online version) Namely: "Discover Your Formulas and Abandon Them" LARUG's Meetup will see us work on just that!

@LARUG, will be exploring workflows and actions (at our July 24th Meeting at RTKL @DTLA) where we can absolutely gain... well... a whole lot(!) through critical thinking and self assessment and not holding onto past or present formulas at times... Come on by and help push the conversations forward and see what you might learn and teach! -Yeah, the image (also) takes you to the July Meetup posting directly ;)
