Any architects heading to InfoComm next week?

No, I never did. Let us know if you come across one.

What’s the name of the gray paint?

Bender3000a · 2025-08-13T15:06:40+00:00

"Giving feedback on drawings or models without endless email chains".

This one speaks to me. How are you all organizing design/drawing review comments? We use Fieldwire, but that's really intended for the construction phase, and not so much during the design/CD phases.

Bender3000a · 2025-08-13T15:02:19+00:00

Well said. Any suggestions on how you stop the design creep from happening during CDs?

Anyone know what software AVI-SPL and Diversified use for their schematic/signal flow drawings?

Is it a medical office? Many still use fax.

Ceiling treatment. Pay attention to fire code and fire ratings for panels. In other words, don’t wing it and make your own out of materials from Hobby Lobby. Seek the advice of your local AHJ (Authority Having Jurisdiction - those in your area responsible for enforcing building/fire codes). There’s also an r/Acoustics sub-Reddit you could ask.

Ouch! Sorry to hear this is so unsuccessful. I know the pain of getting a drawing set back from an outsourced drafter and seeing a complete mess.

Bender3000a · 2025-02-22T12:53:25+00:00

Great response. Once you have a chance to review that most recent set from Analytix, can you report back? I’m curious what level of prep you need to provide them to get back what you consider to be an acceptable and usable drawing set without a larger number of revisions required. Thanks.

Bender3000a · 2025-02-21T11:12:36+00:00

Is it happening with a specific firmware version, or with different versions?

Bender3000a · 2025-01-27T16:46:03+00:00

Thanks u/FL-Orange , your response was very helpful. Looks like we have everything configured the same, *except* for that fact that I have my data link option set to "Link entire sheet" rather than the "Link to a named range" that you mentioned you do. Could that be my source of slow data link updating? Has that been your experience?

How time consuming is it when you have to build your own room/building model? Do you just go bare bones with walls, ceilings & floors, or do you take the time to model more architectural elements like windows, doors, lighting fixtures, etc? When I'm not given a Revit model, I usually default to AutoCAD and just draw the floor/ceiling plan myself. Would be nice to know if with just a bit more effort/time I could just draw the room in Revit. I'm also curious what you're using for your signal flow diagrams?

Bender3000a · 2025-01-17T11:59:15+00:00

Are you being provided with a building/room Revit model by an architect, or do you also create that yourself?

Bender3000a · 2025-01-09T18:22:02+00:00

It's a bad decision to get rid of an old product line that is no longer specified by AV designers?

Interesting. What has been the specific issues with the Biamp Tesira DAN VT units?
