@johntpierson since you are now on the inside. Maybe you can get them to update the fonts allowed in #ACC.

@tkunsman @SkrticX This not sanitized. What if that kid also bit the apple? My kid identifies as an apple, where should it go?

@Twiceroadsfool @_TheDanWarren @scottddavis This is the biggest gripe. At least now you can upload attachments which can be images. So we have that. Mine is still, correspondence is everywhere else except in the Doc Control Platform - is that not as big a part of the process for Doc Controllers?

@kslifter1 I generally don't make it the modelling people's decision and ask them to give it to me as they see fit, but I compare it with the Point Cloud and go from there.

I know it's because buildings in the real world are not perfectly square, but I would think there would be a solution that's been figured out so that ppl don't go mad in Revit. (2/2)

We are looking into using Lidar and getting a 3rd party to scan and create our Revit Model. They sent us a sample Revit file and generally looks good but I noticed that walls are not parallel and you can't string dims. How is normally handled? (1/2) #Revit #Lidar #bim #3dScan

@kslifter1 I normally like to go with a 'design intent' which should mostly be linear. However, if the wall is way off then I look at 'breakpoints' where I can keep sections straight or just have that wall skew.

@_TheDanWarren I'm busy with a client now where we are using these filters to align with their SharePoint as we are building a Transfer App for their FM team. A nice feature is in reviews you can 'change attribute' based on existing and destination folder - so Status codes or Issued for X.

@bryn_mainwaring @nicocatellier @Hessie0521 Agree. Even if we ignore the PAS1192 ref. The ref of BIM is elements with info and CAD lines can host info - if you are a Civil Eng your tool is C3D. Alternative, in RVT, I can design a building in 2D by families alone, no 3D is that then not-BIM?

@nicocatellier @Hessie0521 Yup, as is Solibri, excel, morta... UK BIM level 1 = managed CAD..

Hot take: saying BIM model is fine.

@Twiceroadsfool Now if only there were a decryptor for everything I don't know. Help files help a bit but I don't have all of them.

@peterleroux @notbigracks What a reminder that is.

@notbigracks I was expecting just Leisure Suit Larry 1-5

@kslifter1 Life of a consultant. So often I go back to clients and ask them "where's the x I gave you? That will solve it."

I tell you what, I love spending time on processes that help people only for them to not use them. Then getting to see the look on their faces when I remind them and they are amazed all over again. I use them, so I guess my efforts aren't totally for not. #revit #bim #aec

@Twiceroadsfool You switch it on, you are committed to life.

@peterleroux That I agree with.

@MachielOdie I think niching down, and making sure that you understand what's needed for the problems you are solving, is important. I feel like architects are trained to be generalists though- an undergrad course that includes art, maths, engineering, and historical research is pretty broad

Day 36 of #100DaysofAI 🧪 Today marks the start of a thrilling mission for #generalistworld! Over the next week, I'll use my AI skills to create a campaign that celebrates the power of generalist careers. Here's my initial research👇

@_TheDanWarren @cj_fulton I work for a reseller in SA so we run NFRs. As a question, I know a few companies on Tokens and they do not like how it works as you have no control over the people you give licenses to - can't control their use age.

@_TheDanWarren There are only a few places where you can load non-ACC members for them to be part of the process or get info: 1. RFIs 2. Meetings 3. Correspondence (when you start or reply) 4. Reports (you send links) 5. Insights Reports I might've missed some. Whish there was more.

I was today years old when I found out you must have the gass refill bottle upside down. 🤦‍♂️

@_TheDanWarren @ADSK_Construct Another one we came across is that you can't have a pre-defined list tags available - becomes useful on mobile.

@typefully I like to avoid things, today is the like button. Avoid it at all costs.

@_TheDanWarren Attack of the evil duct...

@_TheDanWarren Luckily. Had projects where that wasn't the case. I just told the team if they use the wrong stuff, they have to do it themselves. #LessonsLearnt
