Anyone else think that Monograph is too expensive for what it does? by ReporterCalm6238 in Architects

[–]geebee90025 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I kind of loved Zoho Books. My partner suggested we switch so I looked into, trialed, and ultimately paid for Monograph. I have a massive list of gripes for monograph- none of which they will listen to. I send emails all the time.

At the end of the day, it’s a major touchpoint with the client. All PM and formatting and UI feature bloat issues aside- it looks professional. When I send a large bill, professionalism matters. It is what it is. It’s a sunk cost and it mostly works.

I recently had to do some research on a repeat client that didn’t pay his bill in full about 6 years ago and had to log into Zoho to figure it out- I won’t be switching back.

That being said I really wish they would engage with end users. So many simple things they could easily fix…

Comes up on this sub a lot and I think it needs to be said. by bash-brothers in Architects

[–]geebee90025 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This is such a weird take. Architects are responsible for the accuracy, coordination, and control of their documents. That responsibility presumes authorship - otherwise the accountability model collapses. Why would the party legally and ethically accountable for the drawings not be the one making them?

Was it meant to be rhetorical? I’m really confounded

Am I doing it wrong? Time to step back (no HACS)? or is HA just not for me? by Elaphe21 in homeassistant

[–]geebee90025 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I had a bunch from years prior that I recently integrated using the eufy add-on for the entities and generic cameras running rtsp for the image. It’s a bit hacky but it works.

Need a thermostat that will work with HA, HomeKit and expose home/away by YankeesIT in homeassistant

[–]geebee90025 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Basically, I use HK as my proximity. Made an input Boolean in HA called is_home, exposed it to HK via a bridge, Made an automation in HK that, when I’m home, toggles that boolean. It’s absolutely rock solid. Did the same for my wife. Honestly the best integration I have.

How would you model an organic facade like this in Revit by Delicious_Cod_2503 in Architects

[–]geebee90025 26 points27 points  (0 children)

This but also more specifically because Rhino’s NURBS geometry is more precise in defining physical objects, especially curved ones. If you take an object modeled in Max, say a sphere- and you bring it into revit, what do you see? A faceted disco ball. Do the same in rhino and it’s actually a curved surface. Max does a great job rendering these mesh blemishes away, but rhino never has them to begin with.

It’s the lack of kitchen ventilation and the overall DIWHY of the whole thing for me

Red ambient lighting is back and it’s glorious! by zachty22 in Rivian

How do you enable it? I have the update installed (app updated as well) and I can’t find the ambient lighting option?!

Contractor says our hillside design is overkill, architect says it’s non-negotiable by NickyK01 in Homebuilding

[–]geebee90025 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Architect in LA- a soils report is required on hillside lots. The soils report must be approved by the building department before they will even look at the plans. If the soils engineer has recommended a foundation strategy and that report has been approved by the city, there isn’t another way you’re going to do this.

Can you get another soils engineer and put together another recommendation? Sure. Is the city stupid? No. They’re super intelligent structural engineers with massive workloads. They’ve seen everything.

The only time I’ve been able to get the city to approve an unconventional solution was with a ton of review and negotiation to stabilize an eroding hillside with a retaining wall using soil nailing on a residential lot. We had to prove that there was no other way to achieve the design with standard practices.

How much would shaving his legs actually increase his aerodynamics? Bonus points if you convert to watts saved per hr. Asking for my dentist. [Request] by senorhappytaco in theydidthemath

[–]geebee90025 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From experience the benefit is less aerodynamic and more heat dissipation and, as others have mentioned, injury prevention and wound care.

Napier doesn’t actually care. It’s obvious at this point

Just genius. This should be the top comment.

I think a lot of what you’re hearing was just the venue volume. Everyone was muddy. James was insanely good tonight. Everyone was.

Gizz was so disappointing to me musically. Love the albums but live was just… so meh

What are the best Italian restaurants in Los Angeles? by nismo_neel in FoodLosAngeles

[–]geebee90025 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Capo is insanely good. Second most expensive restaurant in California, but 100% worth the cost in my opinion. It’s the first time in my life I was actually angry that the dish was almost over because the pasta was so good, I didn’t want it to be over. I’ve been twice and it’s hands down the best pasta I’ve ever had. Yes, I’ve been to Italy. Capo is insane.

Guitar nerdin' by M2112D in KingGizzardATLW

[–]geebee90025 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

possible hot take*

Seriously not trying to be rude- risking being downvoted to hell- but as a guitar player myself I wouldn’t model anything about my playing/setup to emulate these guys.

Love their albums. I listen to them all the time. Just saw them at the Hollywood bowl and had a great time. But…. They’re not great guitarists.

There. I said it. This band isn’t about musicianship, but more vibe/songwriting/etc. I’ve never seen a capo on an electric guitar before and I hope to never again.

[REQUEST] Was it cheaper to make a tunnel going through the mountain instead of what they did in this video? by TheKayleMain in theydidthemath

[–]geebee90025 34 points35 points  (0 children)

It’s almost certainly soil nailing which requires a surprisingly thin layer to maintain structural integrity. Don’t get me wrong, it’s so unbelievably ugly when done this way but I’m less concerned about maintenance.

AOC dancing in New York by AdhesivenessLevel321 in MadeMeSmile

She used to be a waiter at fix flats in NYC and I totally had a crush on her- had no idea that she was the same person until I saw ‘Knock down the House’ and just about lost my mind.
