AUGIworld is in Print & J is in AUGIworld

I like pages 24-28 myself but all of the articles are nice as well...Yes, the image & red text are links.

Next month look for another collaboration from Marcello Sgambelluri & J highlighting some of the new features, new concepts and ...well you'll have to read that too!!! Marcello's part is awesome as usual.

Remember AUGIworld is now a print magazine again, so update your AUGI profile with a real name and address and email them to say you want the printed copy (if you do want it)!!!

It's awesome that the RTC ad is in the middle of my article... synchronous happenstance for sure... I think that's good for everyone!!! See you at RTCUSA... If you are going that is...

#LABIMmodelingFluffyKittenKillas

Others are and you want to stay attractive to employers, right?

Awesome job ADSK!!!

3. Security phones need to be used to:
    a. Get into building from garage
    b. Get into building from Wilshire Blvd

Use the #BIMandments hashtag to tweet your best Revit & BIM helpful quotes.

Also create a search for #BIMandments and you will get them as they arrive...

The BIMandments are great resources to read from the beginning!!!

There are posts from many fantastic BIM people that you should follow if you Twitter and BIM... (if you don't already follow them of course).

You can also follow @BIMandments of course, though I find combining the 'follow' with the search is best.

This is a user (or users :-)) that bring #TruthInBIM via twitter and a new blog: BIM Fact Check

The Revit Fact Check folks are debunking lies and misrepresentations in the world of BIM that seem to be popping up from Revit & BIM haters.


If you have others that you'd like to share just let us know and we'll be happy to share!!!

Restructuring for BIM Success: BIM with Intelligence from DesignIntelligence

One of LARUG's Leadership Consortium (Leather Jackets to follow?) has an article out on DesignIntelligence (@dinet) and if you are implementing BIM or any other process and/or process change this article will surely give food for thought... and a bunch of...well read it for yourself!!!

"To find success with BIM, firms need to look beyond the CAD processes that staff are comfortable using. Assessment, planning, and communication are key." "CAD processes don’t require that architectural practices be good, but BIM processes do..."

Hit the images & links to the article and the resource links & follow the #BIMandments (Twitter anyone?)
