The following videos were posted by Simon Gillis from Autodesk at the Sustainable Design Toolbox to describe in more detail the steps necessary to carry out the Rapid Energy Modeling (REM) of existing buildings. You can see how you can use 123D Catch and Project Vasari or Revit 2012 to create energy models of existing buildings to explore retrofit options.

Takehiko Nagakura and Terry Knight are teaching an awesome class at MIT in collaboration with CO Architects. “Computational Design Lab: Reinventing BIM” is taking the inventive step of not just teaching how to use the tools, but how to work beyond the capabilities available out of the box.

The coordinate system or Revit has been rehashed many times on blogs and posts, but has been clear as mud for me, and I suspect a lot of other people. So I took the time to really figure out it, and here's a 30 minute explanation of how Revit's coordinate systems work, interrelate,
how true north works, and how to put multiple copies of a building on a site."

When we ask users how they model and define their Revit assemblies (walls, floors, roofs) most will tell us that their libraries are made up of complete assemblies created from inside to outside.
As we move away from traditional ‘model to get the drawings’ workflows and begin to create models that are shared and leveraged beyond our own needs as architects, we start to realize that our initial approaches might need to be re-examined. 

An architect visits a job site and notices that a detail is incorrect. This must be quickly communicated to the team so a solution can be proposed.

The design is updated in the cloud, and it can be viewed on a colleague’s mobile phone…

Or by others working on desktops back at the office.

Le marché de la construction a toujours été l’un des domaines de prédilection de l’éditeur. Je viens de rencontrer Nicolas Mangon, responsable de la stratégie de ce secteur, qui m’a expliqué comment le Building Information Modeling, promu par Autodesk, faisait son trou sur le marché.

The most important development to have happened for Revit Structure last year is the Structure Generator from the Autodesk Labs which was announced right around American Thanksgiving. This preview is providing an amazing opportunity to begin to bridge conceptual design and structural engineering as has been covered in previous blog posts.

Sometimes you want to save some Revit elements for later - like throwing them in the cupboard until you need them. Here are five ways to do that:

TODA BUILDING Aoyama” completed in Aoyama, Tokyo in March, 2011, received an ‘S rank’, the highest rank possible in “CASBEE” (Comprehensive Assessment System for Built Environment Efficiency). Toda Corporation has been utilizing GRAPHISOFT’s ArchiCAD BIM software for design and construction of building projects according to the given circumstances, applying BIM models throughout the workflow of the design stage to production design and also in the construction phase. We interviewed the designers of the Architectural Design Division at the Toda Corporation.
