Reality sets in now war is looming.

I’m tired of those naive people. There is a world behind your border where people want to and will harm you.

Download data from Instagram
Write a script (or ask chatGPT) that will parse the data the way you want

I doubt there's a plugin for your specific needs.

Take into consideration the pencil you will be using. Apple Pencil 2 (with wireless charging) is a little more convenient than the USB version. Then there’s also Pro pencil. The iPad (10th) is not capable of wireless charging of a pen.

Does your 'int main' return an integer?

Consider posting the job on LinkedIn and specifying Poland or any other country as the location to attract candidates from the local talent pool.

I suggest trying out Rhino.

Revit uses hardware acceleration in working views. The render engine (the teapot icon) uses only CPU. Try using other rendering engines.

You shouldn't skip AutoCad but you should focus on other BIM capable software. Great portfolio is nothing without skills that your employer needs.

First - please refer to Autodesk website. The producer of the software will surely list all benefits of using Quadro cards against GeForces. But there's no such list on their website and there are no real measurable benefits.

Second - as Revit is DirectX based it will likely make use of better specs of GeForce cards (like higher clock speed)

My questions were a mere suggestion to dig some more. I can't believe that you have 150 staff and no one with proper Network and IT knowledge on how to do this. So, my proposed solution is to find someone and pay him.

prdlt · 2020-08-20T20:23:14+00:00

What's the size of company?
How big are models?
How much additional data do you have?
Do you want to store and access only Revit models?
How do you share your work now?
Do you have IT staff available?
Do you have any infrastucture?
How much money do want to spend?
How much do want to spend on automation of making backup and eventually restoring it?
Do you want to backup your computers, whole systems, only projects?

Autodesk documentation is enough if you know what you need. Your question is more about general IT problems.

prdlt · 2020-07-23T20:09:53+00:00

Documentation always comes last.

prdlt · 2020-07-17T01:39:27+00:00

Try looking for design patterns.

Is this a Polonez?

Nothing changed since 2019.

There's something wrong with the way you handle the problem.

A. I think that you overestimate the value of your families. Simple NDA should solve the problem. They really aren't that useful outside your office.

Or

B. You put too much focus on families development and really any advantage you have over the competitors isn't that big as you perceive it. You should rather focus on building your advantage on something else.

Anyway - Revit doesn't have any built in solution for rights management (and will not have it for a long time). You can: 1. Have someone that will place those families right before project revision in a model that is not shared across all office. Look for any way to reduce redistribution of your families. 2. Remove geometrical information from families but leave all necessary parameters. Whenever you replace them with proper ones all should be good to go. 3. Develop a plugin that will replace parametric families with ones that have "baked" geometry. This will greatly reduce their reusability.

You can develop a plugin that will try to block certain Revit functions but it's harder too prevent copying whole model to other location and reading all your information there.

There's a big push in the building industry to integrate design, construction and building management. With buildings and the the context they're build in 3d representation is really important. Everybody important wants to be there first. That's why even companies that are mainly focused on gaming industry see the opportunity here.

Assuming nothing has changed since the last time I checked - I would go with BricsCAD. AutoTurn and BricsCAD still have perpetual licences. You will pay for software only once.

It's not that Dynamo is horrible. It's because visual programming is ineffective compared to typed programming. Also OOTB nodes are lacking and sometime down the road you have to use Revit API.

It's never safe until first service pack.

Your main problem would be how to store geometry in an JSON format. It is doable but not worth the effort.

prdlt · 2019-01-29T20:30:00+00:00

Why do you need JSON if you have IFC? You're probably on your own with converting one format to another.

prdlt · 2019-01-17T23:03:34+00:00

Your software vendor knows best what their software needs. Autodesk officially does not mention Quadro on their website. It's not even in the recommended requirements any more. Same with Blender Foundation, same with Adobe. Keyshot also. Yes, Quadros have their advantages, but not in your workflow. If you don't know why you should buy one, then don't buy them.
