LIBERTY Sessions with Nada Jones | Celebrating women who do & inspiring women who can |
Melanie Wolff is a mother of three under nine and knows a thing or two about juggling work and parenting. Armed with an undergraduate degree from Princeton and an MBA from Columbia, Melanie spent 15 years working in advertising, marketing, and technology for brands including; Schick, Johnson & Johnson, Bravo, and Amazon before launching Brella. After moving to the West Coast and starting a family, Melanie became aware of the lack of early child care services that matched a full-time work schedule and her needs as a parent. After being introduced by a friend to Darien Williams, an architect who shared her hope for more meaningful and updated child care service and space, the two started brainstorming and Brella was born. In addition to the intentionally designed space, parent education, and a customized curriculum for early childhood, Brella has created the first on-demand, technology-enabled child care service that focuses on the needs of families today.In this episode, Nada sits down with Melanie to discuss how she never intended to be an entrepreneur. Once she found herself living with a problem she thought she could solve, it became clear that it was time to take the entrepreneurial leap. Melanie tells us that although she and Darien share many overlapping strengths, they have successfully made that partnership work despite all the advice to differentiate. Setting clear guidelines on how they would solve future problems, they started establishing their partnership before establishing their ideas. Together, they are creating spaces for children to thrive in this day and age, leaving behind the antiquated structures from the 1950s.If you never thought you would launch your own thing, this conversation is specifically for you! Be sure to check out Melanie's use for all things cleaner, hypochlorous acid, and the brand LUMION.Check out Brella's website to look at their beautiful locations in Playa Vista, Hollywood, and soon to open Pasadena.

BIM obligatorio en Lituania desde la semana pasada Lituania:País independiente en 1990 con la caída de la unión soviética.Miembro de la Unión Europea desde 2003.Da al mar Báltico, enfrente de Suecia, tiene frontera con Polonia, Letonia y Bielorusia.Casi 3 millones de habitantes.Nivel de vida similar a Portugal o Grecia.8 de diciembre de 2021 aprobó una resolución en la que se establecen los casos en los que el BIM será obligatorio en proyectos públicos:https://www.e-tar.lt/portal/lt/legalAct/cfcdf1b05cb111eca9ac839120d251c4Muy similar a lo que hizo Cataluña en 2019:https://bimlevel.com/007-noticias-bim-febrero-2019/En 2022: Edificios (nuevos o renovaciones) de más de 5 millones de euros.Infraestructuras de más de 10 millones de euros.En 2024:Edificios: 3 millonesInfraestructuras: 5 millonesEn 2026:Edificios: 1.5 millonesInfraestructuras: 3 millonesUna estrategia escalonada en un plazo de 4 años."Los requisitos y/o criterios para la aplicación obligatoria del BIM de acuerdo con el procedimiento establecido por el Ministerio del Medio Ambiente se especificarán en los pliegos de contratación".Proyecto BIM-LT (2019-2023):https://statyba40.lt/titulinis/bim-lt-projektas/https://statyba40.lt/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/BIM_LT-PVG-01-v_08-D-PS-2.pdfAl estar en lituano, no he podido hacer un análisis, pero por términos y gráficos, se basan en la ISO19650 y el enfoque británico. En España, la Comisión BIM crea el comité técnico En febrero se cumplieron 3 años de la publicación del real decreto que creaba la Comisión BIM Interministerial.En estos 3 años han renovado la web y dado subvenciones a los colegios profesionales para hacer formaciones sobre BIM.La comisión está formada por altos funcionarios de esos que creen que la trasformación digital es llevar fibra óptica a los pueblos y que las pymes se hagan una página web.Ahora han creado un comité técnico para que "les ayude".Tiene naturaleza de grupo de trabajo. Su función principal es elaborar el plan de implantación BIM en la contratación pública.Lo quieren aprobar en 2023. También elaborará documentación técnica de interés para organismos públicos, con competencias de gestión y contratación de obras y mantenimiento sobre infraestructuras y edificios.Está formado por:Expertos destacados del Ministerio de Fomento (Ministerio de Transportes, Movilidad y Agenda Urbana) que lideran experiencias de gran relevancia en la implantación del metodología.Expertos en BIM de empresas públicas y privadas.INECO, que igual ahora trabajarán gratis.ISDEFE, es el "INECO" de Defensa.La Building Smart Spanish chapter. Opinión Lo de "más vale tarde que nunca" no lo podemos aplicar aquí.Sobre el papel, que el BIM se implemente en las AAPP tiene dos ventajas:Mejor gestión del dinero público.Si, supone una mejora, pero con la configuración actual de las AAPP, esta mejora es una gota en un océano.Ser tractor de la implantación BIM en el ámbito privado.Ahora mismo el sector privado ya está por delante del público.El sector privado está tomando como referentes a otros países como UK o Chile.El objetivo de esta comisión es ayudar a las AAPP a exigir BIM y sacarle partido internamente.Lo que diferencia el trabajo de Reino Unido del resto, es que está enfocado a ayudar al sector en general, y dentro de ahí las AAPP son un subapartado. Patrocinador: MECA BIM Y ahora, antes de la siguiente noticia, nuevo patrocinador: MECA BIM, tu oficina técnica de outsourcing BIM. Imagina que eres un estudio de arquitectura o una ingeniería, te llega un encargo de un proyecto con unos requisitos BIM bastante potentes, y crees que vas a necesitar ayuda, ya sea con modelado puro y duro de alguna de las disciplinas, tareas de coordinación, etc. Pues aquí es donde puedes apoyarte en MECA BIM. MECA BIM cuenta con un equipo técnico experto en BIM, acostumbrado a trabajar con todas las disciplinas, estándares internacionales y requisitos de todo tipo de clientes. Ya sea para un trabajo puntual o para hacer crecer tu empresa externalizando costes, MECA BIM tiene unos honorarios muy competitivos, ya que físicamente se encuentran en Argentina, y esto les permite tener unos costes muy inferiores a los de Europa.

La conferencia GTC 21 de Nvidia nos deja interesantes novedades GPU Technology Conference.Una especie de Autodesk University para el mundo del HW/SW de la visualización y la inteligencia artificial.Del 12 al 16 de abril.https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/gtc/keynote/ Más info sobre Omniverse En pocas palabras: Omniverse es como un Lumion, pero en la nube y colaborativo.En realidad sirve para muchas más cosas, pero más pensadas para la industria de los videojuegos o películas de animación.Está en beta y se espera lanzamiento oficial para después del verano.Una plataforma cloud (también hay opción de instalarlo en local), que permite:Conectar en tiempo real con muchos softwares distintos (Revit, Archicad, Rhino, 3D max...)Hay que instalar un plugin que se encarga se subir la geometría y mantenerla actualizada en tiempo real.Ver un "modelo federado" de todo lo que está conectado a la plataforma.Utilizar herramientas de la propia plataforma para:Renders en tiempo realAñadir comportamientos físicos y animaciones.Análisis de viento y solarUtilizar herramientas creadas por tercerosTodo está basado en el estándar abierto USD de Pixar.Estándar que también está adoptando Autodesk en Maya y Shotgun (el BIM360 de la producción)Hay varias ponencias de Onmiverse en el mundo AEC:Ejemplos de Foster+Partners usandolo con Rhino y Grasshopper.https://gtc21.event.nvidia.com/media/Collaboration%20Matters%3A%20End-to-End%20Workflow%20for%20AEC%20Projects%20%5BS32167%5D/1_maeinrmtEjemplo de CSN Groep usandolo con Revithttps://gtc21.event.nvidia.com/media/NVIDIA%20Omniverse%20in%20the%20AEC%20Sector%20%5BE32369%5D/1_irl4od64Hace falta registro para verlos.Esto no es el BIM level 3, simplemente porque es un tema geométrico y visual, no hay información ni base de datos. Autodesk está trabajando en nuevo motor gráficos para sus productos Autodesk usa el mismo motor gráfico en casi todos sus productos: Revit, 3DS Max, Autocad, Inventor, Fusion, Maya, Infraworks...No es un motor tipo V-ray, sino el motor básico que hace que las vistas de Revit funcionen.Se llama OGS (One Graphics System) y se desarrolló en 2007.DirectX 9 y Open GLNo aprovecha los avances de la última década en tarjetas gráficas y depende mucho del procesador.Es el responsable de que una vista se abra lento.Presentación nueva versión de OGS:https://gtc21.event.nvidia.com/media/Incorporating%20Real-Time%20Ray%20Tracing%20in%20Autodesk%E2%80%99s%20Next-Generation%20Viewport%20System%20%5BS31676%5D/1_48gt5iygDirectX12, Vulkan (renderizado en tiempo real)... Basado en estándares abiertos como USD o Material X.Comunicación directa con la tarjeta gráfica y uso de varios núcleos del procesador.Va ser más independiente de los software, con lo que se podrá actualizar sin que suponga grandes esfuerzos de desarrollo en Revit y compañía.Hicieron hincapié sobre todo en la parte de renderizado en tiempo real con ejemplos de Inventor, 3DS Max y Maya.Un render en tiempo real para trabajo, no para infografías.Es un desarrollo en estado muy temprano, no creo que lo veamos hasta dentro de 2 años. Archicad lanza su propio Dynamo: PARAM-O Ya existía desde julio de 2020 como beta para windowsAhora con la actualización 3 de la versión 24, ya es oficial y está también para macOS.https://graphisoft.com/downloads/archicad/updates/ac24/up3PARAM-O comparte con Dynamo y Grasshopper la interfaz basada en cajas que se conectan, pero su objetivo es diferente:En archicad, para crear un objeto paramétrico hay que hacerlo con GDL (un lenguaje de programación basado en BASIC).Esto es una importante barrera de entrada a la creación de objetos paramétricos.PARAM-O viene de Parametrizar Objetos. Es como un Dynamo pero específico para el editor de familias.Desde 2016, Archicad tiene una conexión directa con Grasshopper (el referente en programación visual)Si queremos automatizar procesos, o hacer diseños imposibles, tenemos la conexión con Grasshopper.Si queremos crear objetos paramétricos sin aprender GDL, tenemos PARAM-O. Patrocinador: 360 admin Tools Bueno, y lo que viene ahora no es otra noticia sino nuestro patrocinador: ¡360 Admin Tools! este conjunto de herramientas imprescindibles para administradores de CDEs con BIM360. Ya hemos hablado de algunas de estas herramientas, como el sincronizador de archivos y carpetas entre BIM360 y plataformas como SharePoint, Onedrive, Dropbox, Amazon S3 y Google Drive, también de la copia de entre proyectos del propio BIM360, o incluso en asignador masivo de usuarios a los proyectos. Pero es que de todo lo anterior tenemos estadísticas. Podemos saber cuántos archivos se han sincronizado en cada proyecto, cuantos GB, cuáles son los proyectos, empresas, roles y usuarios más activos dentro de BIM360. Podemos ver el número de usuarios que se conectan cada día. Y todas estas estadísticas, las podemos agrupar o filtrar por el criterio que queramos, por ejemplo: quiero ver el número de accesos de todos los usuarios con el rol arquitecto de la empresa X. Todo esto sirve para tener una fotografía de quién y cómo está usando la plataforma, tanto para detectar puntos de mejora como comentaba en el episodio 086 de Implantar un CDE, como para para saber el uso real de BIM360 cuando eres tú el que está pagando las licencias.

Qué supone el BIM para una promotora inmobiliaria (o desarrolladora, real state).Un cliente de Uruguay, me planteaba cómo debía ser la implantación BIM en una promotora.Por mi parte, me he especializado en este tipo de empresas, casi por casualidad.Y ahora soy el responsable BIM de una promotora.También hable de este tema en el podcast de BIMrras:https://www.bimrras.com/episodio/066-bim-en-la-empresa-promotora/Este episodio puede ser interesante para consultores y empleados de promotoras, pero también para todos los estudios e ingenierías que dan servicio a una. Qué es una promotora El promotor es uno de los agentes de la construcción, en España está recogido en la Ley de Ordenación de la Edificación (LOE) como el agente que impulsa, programa y financia una obra de edificación.Una persona que tiene un terreno y se quiere hacer una casa, es un promotor.Pero una promotora inmobiliaria es una empresa que se dedica a esto de forma recurrente y especializada, están centradas en vivienda, y su objetivo final es vender las viviendas que han promovido.Hay un nicho de promover para alquilar (Built-to-Rent) dónde habría que considerar el BIM para mantenimiento.Sus funciones principales son:Analizar las demandas del mercado inmobiliario para saber dónde quiere vivir la gente, en qué tipo de vivienda y a qué precio.Analizar y comprar suelo que cumpla con estos criterios.Velar porque el diseño de cada vivienda y del edificio en su conjunto se adapte también a los criterios del mercado.El diseño puede estar subcontratado o no.Vigilar que el edificio se construye en la calidad, plazos y costes deseados.La construcción puede estar subcontratado o no.Vender las viviendas. Y locales, plazas de aparcamiento, trasteros...Departamento Comercial.Departamento de marketing.Departamento de postventa. Tipos de promotora Subcontratan el diseño y construcción:Promotoras grandes.Se centran en el análisis y la venta.Lo hacen todo:Promotoras medianas y pequeñas.Menores costes de diseño y construcción.Según van creciendo, empiezan a subcontratar. Puntos clave de una promotora Financieramente es un negocio con mucho riesgo:Desde que compras el suelo hasta que vendes la última casa, pueden pasar 4 años.Inflación, cambios en el mercado, crisis...Si te equivocas en el análisis de mercado, puedes hacer viviendas que no gustan, y tener que venderlas por debajo de coste.Tienes que calcular los costes de construcción unos 2 años antes de empezar la obra y cuando el proyecto es sólo una lista de necesidades.Como promueven mucho, pueden sacar ratios muy fiables.Superficies construidas.Mucho riesgo está aparejado a mucho beneficio si las cosas salen bien.Las promotoras cuentan con abundantes recursos.Necesitan tener mucha capacidad de análisis:Análisis del mercado inmobiliario:En esta zona hay parejas jóvenes, que quieren piscina comunitaria, y tienen x dinero.En esta zona, el precio de la vivienda está bajando un x%...Análisis de la oferta de sueloAnálisis de los costes de construcción.En esta región, las cocinas están en torno a X.El precio del hormigón tiene esta tendencia en los últimos años....Su cliente, es el cliente final que se compra la casa:Los planos de venta, infografías, paseos virtuales, etc son muy importantes.Te limita mucho los tipos de cambios que puedes hacer en un proyecto que no está terminado, pero que ya estás vendiendo.Una mala ejecución, una solución constructiva mal elegida, te puede disparar las incidencias en postventa. Objetivos BIM ProyectoMenos errores y más definición con el mismo esfuerzo.Seguimiento "casi" en tiempo real de los costes.Mayor certidumbre sobre superficies útiles y construidas.ObraMayor facilidad y certidumbre a la hora de "estudiar la obra".Mayor facilidad en la toma de decisiones y resolución de problemas durante la obra.Mayor facilidad en tareas de seguimiento y certificación en la obra.VentaMenos cambios en "el producto" que se vende sobre plano.Usar "el 3D" como arma de venta.https://stateapp.es/DemoAtBIM y C95 Creative048 Proyectos detallados con María PascualReducir el número de incidencias postventa. Patrocinador: BIMMAX Pero antes, el patrocinador de este mes, BIMMAX, la escuela online de Gonzalo Ruiz, especializada en Revit. La semana pasada te contaba la calidad de las clases de Gonzalo y que podías comprobarlo por tí mismo con su curso gratuito de iniciación a Revit. Te dejo el enlace en las notas del programa: https://bimmax.es/curso-gratis-revit/?utm_source=Podcast&utm_medium=Banner&utm_campaign=Ene2021 Pero el curso estrella de BIMMAX es sin duda el "Master Revit": 63 horas de vídeos repartidos en 90 clases, donde aprenderás todo lo necesario para desarrollar tus proyectos básicos y de ejecución, con los mismos entregables que ahora haces en CAD, pero con Revit. Además, incluye soporte y resolución de dudas ilimitadas y una plantilla de Revit con toda la configuración básica y las mejores familias creada por Gonzalo, para que puedas empezar modelar tus proyectos desde el minuto 1. Si te interesa, con el código BIMLEVEL20, tienes un 20% de descuento, es decir, curso de 63 horas, soporte ilimitado y plantilla con familias por 430€. Así que corre a bimmax, porque el código tiene límite de uso, y en una semana ya se han apuntado unos cuantos. Te dejo el enlace en las notas del programa: https://bimmax.es/curso-revit-online/?utm_source=Podcast&utm_medium=Banner&utm_campaign=Ene2021 BIM en promotoras que diseñan y construyen En las promotoras que diseñan y/o construyen directamente hay que hacer dos implantaciones BIM:Un a los arquitectos e ingenieros009 Preguntas II074 BIM en microempresasOtra al personal de obra.017 Preguntas IV055 Construtoras BIM con Aitor OteroEsta, con un desfase de 6-12 meses con respecto a la anterior.Para los departamentos técnicos es un caso ideal:Se crean plantillas y familias para uso interno.Siempre usan los mismos software.Conocen al dedillo la forma de trabajar y necesidades del departamento de Obra....Para los demás departamentos no hay que hacer "una implementación":Algún pequeño cambio en la forma en la que intercambian información entre departamentos.SuperficiesCostesPlanos comercialesPara aprovechar toda la información que se puede obtener con un modelo BIM, es clave que Revit y visores 3D no sean la única puerta de acceso.Incorporar a un perfil experto visualización de datos para que creer paneles tipo PowerBI, excels con PowerQuery, etc.Los infografistas podrían aprovechar los modelos BIM a través de conexiones con 3DS max, Lumion, etc. BIM en promotoras que subcontratan diseño y construcción Opción 1: Subcontratar también el BIM Los técnicos de la promotora no saben BIM ni ven factible aprenderlo pero quieren las mejoras prometidas del BIM en el corto plazo y en la mayoría de las promociones.Subcontratan a una oficina BIM (BMO - BIM Management Office).La promotora especifica qué, cómo y cuándo necesita información:Un EIR pero sin entrar en modelos BIM federados, plataformas CDE, etc.Superficies, costes, planos comerciales...La BMO "traduce" todos esos requisitos en un EIR y además:Gestiona el CDE.Crea y mantiene los recursos que se dan a los agentes de diseño y construcción:Plantillas de BEPs.Familias y plantillas de Revit, al menos.Listados de puntos de auditoría.Guías y buenas prácticas.....Asume el rol de BIM manager del promotor:Participa en reuniones de cada proyecto.Decide en disputas BIM entre agentes.Se asegura de que todos los agentes cumplen los procedimientos de colaboración y modelado.Audita todas las entregas de modelos BIM."Extrae y mastica" toda la información de los modelos BIM, y se la traslada a la promotora en paneles y excels. Pros y contras de la BMO Ventaja: tienes el BIM implementado en 8-10 meses sin apenas esfuerzo extra por parte de los empleados de la promotora.Inconveniente: tienes que contratar a una BMO muy buena para confiarle todo esto.Y muy buena, significa muy cara.Entre 5 y 10 personas dedicadas a tiempo completo, de las cuales, 1/3 deben tener perfiles BIM senior.Todas las BMOs son buenas hasta que se demuestra lo contrario.Si el core de una promotora es analizar, la calidad de la información a analizar es clave.Si ponemos la información dentro de modelos BIM, pero no sabemos extraerla nosotros, dependemos de un tercero al que tenemos que dejar entrar en el core de nuestra empresa.Inconveniente: la BMO puede petar, porque no es capaz de hacer que se entreguen modelos de calidad con los proveedores que hay.Hacer 100 proyectos al año, significa contar con al menos 25 estudios de arquitectura, 25 ingenierías y 150 equipos de obra.Es difícil encontrar tantas empresas que dominen BIM en la actualidad.La promotora puede creer que el que una ingeniería no sepa mucho de BIM se arregla con plantillas de Revit y coordinadores BIM, y para eso está la BMO ¿no?Así que piden todos los proyectos en BIM, y al año y medio, la BMO peta.No es culpa de la BMO, sino de que el mercado no está preparado para las expectativas de la promotora.Si nosotros somos la BMO tenemos que dejar esto claro desde las negociaciones iniciales. Opción 2: Implementación interna Hay que contratar a un BIM manager con experiencia.Tendrá que hacer las mismas tareas iniciales que la BMO.Formar al personal técnico de la promotora en habilidades de:Revisión y auditoria de modelos BIM.Extracción de información de modelos.Uso del Entorno Común de Datos.Debe intentar automatizar la parte de revisión y auditoría al máximo.078 Auditar modelosLa promotora introduce BIM en los proyectos al ritmo que sus proveedores le pueden dar.Es preferible un buen proyecto en CAD que un mal proyecto en BIM.Los estudios de arquitectura e ingeniería pueden decir que saben sin tener la experiencia suficiente.Porque quieren conseguir el trabajo.O porque no saben que les falta por saber.Como promotora debemos adoptar una postura de "te ayudo a que aprendas a cumplir mis requisitos".Uno de los objetivos que me ha puesto mi jefe no es que el 100% de los proyectos se hagan en BIM, sino que de los proyectos que se hagan en BIM, el 80% tenga la calidad requerida por la empresa.Tenemos que dar soporte técnico a nuestros proveedores, aunque seamos nosotros el cliente.Explicar siempre los "por qué".Intentar simplificar al máximo temas como los LODs, los usos BIM, las dimensiones...LODs como estructura de capítulos del presupuesto.Intentar basar las entregas y flujos de trabajo en IFC por si tenemos proveedores que trabajan con ArchiCAD, Allplan u otro.Habiendo escasez de proveedores que dominen BIM, no podemos descartar a los que saben por temas de software.Tampoco es buena idea obligarles a usar Revit si no lo dominan.Pero siendo conscientes de que va a haber una mayoría que por un lado trabaja en Revit y por otro no domina para nada el tema IFC, así que:Las plantillas que creemos deben estar al menos en Revit.Si todos los involucrados trabajan en Revit, que compartan también los nativos.Pero pedir siempre IFC para que se vayan familiarizando.Emparejar a estudios de arquitectura con ingenierías y constructoras que estén en la misma etapa de madurez BIM.069 Saltos de madurez ¿Quieres escuchar otro episodio?

This episode we're joined by Jeffery Zimmerman who is a project engineer at Phelps Engineering Inc. We discuss how Jeff's passion for 3D visualization has led him to Sketchup and Autodesk Infrastructure Modeler (now InfraWorks), and how he's been able utilize those tools to create visualizations for civil engineering & hydraulic-type projects.

Today's special guest is Nathan Ledbetter, a skilled and passionate professional when it comes to making civil engineering projects look good. Considered a pioneer of SketchUp, he and Sam have known each other for as long as the 3D modeling tool has been around, so to speak. They both met while working at Kimley-Horn, and Nathan was the one who introduced Sam to Lumion. Nathan is a college-trained landscape architect who got his degree from the University of Georgia (UGA) in 2007, after working as an intern for civil engineering firms while still in high school. Aware of the 2D, black and white civil drawings, and after being shown a colored, realistic image by a landscape architect, he made an obvious college major choice: Landscape Architecture. This choice got him started in the design world, while his interest in 3D visualization sparked while watching the first The Incredibles movie, in which he basically pictured a “Pixar for the civil engineering and design world”. After working at Kimley-Horn and being introduced to Sam, he eventually got a job at HGOR, a landscape architecture firm in Atlanta. This gave him the opportunity to work on some of the coolest projects in Atlanta at the time, which include The Atlanta Braves and The Atlanta Falcons Stadiums. Now he and his wife have started their own business called Better Together Collaborative, in which they provide services ranging from 3D renderings to land planning.

As a podcast entirely dedicated to making civil engineering projects look good through 3D visualization, landscaping and aesthetics, interactive visualization, and more, we often talk about why the visual side of projects is just as important as the other aspects, as well as what the currently available and upcoming pieces of software used in the industry are. However, if you thought the standard tools could only be used for engineering-related reasons, you'd be wrong. As skeptical as we can be, today's guest will prove us all wrong. In today's episode, Sam talks to Gabe from Mustard, a Youtube channel that puts out educational content about curious stories from the world of design, engineering and history, with an engaging narrative and outstanding visuals. Gabe and his twin brother use industry-standard tools like Lumion and SketchUp to create amazing 3D models for their videos, most of which have 1M+ views. Previously working in urban design visualization, Gabe and his brother started thinking about creating a side business of their own. After getting their first clients and a few more people interested in their services, they decided to take a leave of absence from their day jobs and devote their time to their new-born visualization business. However, both of them were more passionate about the creative side of things and not that much of a fan of the administrative aspect of running a business. After some time neglecting administrative tasks and heavily building their visualization skill sets, they decided to put all this knowledge into practice by making a Youtube video. Since then…. Well, 1M+ views. Listen to the show to find out how Gabe got started with his career, how he connected with Sam, his workflow for making awesome videos and 3D models, his thoughts on the future of visualization, his Youtube journey and uncertainties, and much more!

Join Steve, Stan, and David as they pontificate about: No News is Good News; Why no one has figured out the puzzler; Stan's puppy decision; Kuwait dogs; Why does Scott's gels keep melting?; Stan doing his homework; 6 X 5?; Summer job possibilities; Is LinkedIn useful?; Storyboard techniques; Photoshop, SkletchUp, Vision, WYSIWYG, and Lumion; PetSweat's new epicurean delights; Intellectual property; Copying other artists' designs; How much gel should you take to Europe; and "We're on a train, Dude!" Nothing is Taboo, Nothing is Sacred, and Very Little Makes Sense.
As mentioned in previous episodes, visualization in the civil engineering industry may not be as ‘advanced' as that in the architecture world. Fortunately, there are some visualization firms that we can hire to provide 3D models, renderings, videos, etc., to make our projects look good and help us communicate to all stakeholders what the project will look like. Although 3D visualization services should definitely be something to invest in, hiring such firms may not always be attainable for a variety of reasons. Therefore, most professionals are left with the hard task of creating great 3D models and other visualization-related content out of the existing design and visualization tools, such as LumenRT, InfraWorks, and even SketchUp. Today, Sam talks about such tools and, given his experience in the field, dives deeper into the pros and cons of each one of them. These tools have played important roles and helped in many particular aspects concerning visualization in the civil engineering field, but there's still a gap to be filled. Vision is the software that will fill in that gap, providing an easy-to-use, built-for-civil-engineering, real-time visualization tool.

Pero lo más importante, ¿realmente necesitas las especificaciones que piden los de Lumion para hacer proyectos con BIM? Hay varios momentos en nuestra vida como profesionales emprendedores, dueños de nuestro destino en los que llega la hora de renovar el hardware de nuestros equipos, bien sea porque en aquel flamante trasatlántico de la tecnología Revit ya sólo puede hacer habitaciones, bien porque Windows 95 se ha quedado francamente viejo, bien porque has decidido probar ese juego next gen y tu máquina sólo corría el Sensible Soccer. Es en ese momento cuando todas las incapacidades de la mente humana para elegir sabiamente y con criterio se muestran con toda su brutalidad. Las dudas nos abruman. .¿Sobremesa o portátil?, ¿Intel o AMD?, ¿Nvidia o AMD?, ¿PC o Mac? ¿DDR4 a 3,2 o a 3.4? Quizás lo que tengamos que hacer es pararnos a pensar con criterios objetivos. ¿Qué tareas hago? ¿Cuánto tiempo dedico a ellas? ¿Cómo va a evolucionar la tecnología? ¿Cómo voy a amortizar esta pieza de tecnología que se ha llevado todos los beneficios de mi último proyecto con honorarios decentes?

Today’s guest is Amy Briant, co-founder of Lumion Skin. Amy’s journey towards creating the Lumion brand started with a gift from her father. He had been playing around with a new formula in a lab and noticed it was having very beneficial results when it came to clearing up acne. When he first offered it to Amy, she was hesitant, but as soon as she saw the results her mind was made up. Together with her partner Lisa Bonoff they launched Lumion as a skincare product in 2016 and have been going strong ever since. By the way — they met because they were seated next to each other on an airplane and struck up a conversation. WOAH! Listen in as we cover everything from how she and Lisa complement each other’s skillsets and why google advertising has been huge for them whereas Facebook advertising has not. And if you’re interested in trying out the product for yourself, they’re offering Startup to Storefront listeners 15% when you use the code “Startup” at checkout.

¡Volvemos! Volvemos después de 14 semanas sin publicar.A mí se me ha hecho algo más corto (8 semanas), porque empecé a preparar episodios a finales de marzo.Para compensar un poco, los episodios de mayo duran un poco más de lo normal.Pero tranquilos, que mi idea sigue siendo hacer episodios de 20-30 minutos.Tenemos alguna novedades que iremos contando. Hexagon saca su propio google maps para uso profesional En enero, Hexagon lanzó la beta de HxDR (Hexagon Digital Reality)https://hxdr.com/Hexagon es la matriz de Leica.Servicio en la nube con una interfaz muy parecida a Google Maps 3D.Viene con un catálogo de ciudades ya escaneadas.Pagas una suscripción y obtienes:Licencias de Ciudades 3DAutomesh para Captura de RealidadCreación de Tours 3D que se pueden compartirLocalizaciones con fotoesferasInserción de modelos 3D para poder verlos en el contexto de la ciudad o el barrio.Es privado. Puedes elegir quién tiene acceso a tus mapas y modelos.Muy potente, la calidad de los 3D parece superior a la de los mapas de Google.En el futuro esperan incorporar funciones de gestión de "smartcities":Modelar, simular y visualizar un sistema de ciudad inteligente que incluya la vigilancia de activos, el modelado ambiental y la visualización en tiempo real de datos en 3D.Miren el vídeo porque impresiona. Esto le pone cara a lo que podría ser la gestión de smartcities por personal no técnico. Costa Rica lanza su estrategía BIM En febrero se publicó la Estratégia Nacional BIM Costa Rica.Después de Chile, Perú y Argentina, se suma el primer país de Centroamérica a poner por escrito una estrategía nacional de implementación BIM.27 páginas elaboradas por:Ministerio de Planificación Nacional y Política Económica.División de Competitividad, Tecnología e Innovación, BID.Ministerio de Obras Públicas y Transporte.Ministerio de la Presidencia.https://documentos.mideplan.go.cr/share/s/MOQwz7ifQI6vwczIxnFldwEstrategía basada en 7 puntos:Planificación y coordinación: elaborar el Plan BIM Costa Rica, un documento de gobernanza e integrar comités de trabajo.Capacidades asociadas: Promover el desarrollo de capacidades asociadas a la metodología BIM en los distintos actores de los sectores público,académico y privado.Factores habilitantes: infraestructura tecnológica, conectividad y capacidades para la innovación.Monitoreo nivel de madurez: realizar un diagnóstico de línea base y medición de madurez periódica.Creación de experiencia y elementos demostrativos.Marco normativo: crear el estándar nacional BIM y otras normativas necesarias para introducir BIM en los carteles de contratación pública.Comunicación y difusión: elaborar una estrategia de comunicación y diseminación de la metodología BIM en Costa Rica.Para llevar a cabo estas 7 acciones se han dado de plazo hasta 2024.Hay que recordar que esto es una estrategia general no un plan detallado, que es lo que van a empezar a hacer ahora. El Coronavirus se covierte en una pandemia mundial. En marzo, este virus llegaba a muchos países del mundo.Estamos sufriendo una pandemia mundial. En España está siendo un verdadero drama, aunque parece que lo peor ya ha pasado.https://www.ted.com/talks/bill_gates_the_next_outbreak_we_re_not_ready?language=esLa mayoría de la población lo único que tenemos que hacer es quedarnos en casa, que no supone nada, en comparación con lo que están viviendo algunos sectores como el sanitario, seguridad, alimentación, etc.En mi caso, vivo en Madrid, epicentro en España, y llevo sin salir de casa desde el 11 de marzo. 54 días cuando se publica este episodio. El lado positivo El confinamiento nos está obligando a salir de nuestra zona de confort tecnológica, tanto en el ámbito personal como laboral.De repente hay niños (y profes) que si pueden dar clase en remoto y hacer tarea en una tablet. Quizás esto sea el comienzo de un cambio en el sistema educativo:Aprender la teoría en casa con un videotutorial con la mejor explicación posible, acompañado de juegos y tests, y luego ir al cole a hacer la tarea y resolver dudas con un profe real que tiene todas las estadísticas de lo que ha hecho cada alumno en su casa.Esto ya existe, y esta es la mejor charla TED que he visto en mi vida, me emociono de verdad cada vez que la veo:https://www.ted.com/talks/sal_khan_let_s_use_video_to_reinvent_education?language=eshttps://es.khanacademy.org/También hemos visto a nuestros abuelos instalando el Zoom en sus tablets y participando en videoconferencias grupales.Miles de personas haciendo la compra online, que después del confinamiento no van a volver a hacerla en persona.Antes del confinamiento en España había un 8% de teletrabajo, (poco comparado con la media europea 17%, o el más del 30% de los países escandinavos).Según Randstad (consultora de RRHH), En España podrían trabajar como máximo el 22% de la población ocupada.Aqui los sectores de la agricultura, turismo y hostelería son muy fuertes.Pero sólo 1 de cada 3 empleados que puede hacer teletrabajo, lo hace de verdad.Ahora no hay datos, pero está claro que todo el que puede hacer teletrabajo, lo está haciendo.La contaminación en Madrid capital, ha bajado un 60%, estamos en niveles del año 2001.Y no es lo ideal porque ha sido de repente, los niños no tienen colegio, y no podemos salir a despejarnos.Pero está sirviendo para que muchos vean que es posible, que no pasa nada, y que una reunión por Teams, es incluso más efectiva que una en persona.En mi empresa, por ejemplo, había empleados que llevábamos un año usando Teams, pero éramos un grupo reducido, los frikis tecnológicos.Ahora toda la empresa lo usa para chatear, videoconferencia, reuniones online, incluso con externos.Y cuando se acabe el confinamiento, reservar una sala libre, esperar a que todos lleguen, tener que conectarse al proyector en lugar de compartir pantalla, etc les va a dar mucha pereza.En definitiva, cambios culturales para los que en circunstancias normales necesitaríamos años, los estamos consiguiendo en semanas. Y cuando volvamos a la normalidad, todo lo que nos ha facilitado la vida lo vamos a querer mantener.

In this episode Sam talks about what led him into civil engineering and then eventually in 3D visualization as part of public outreach. Transcript: Me and my brothers there were four of us close in age and we were each assigned one de facto and mine was Donatello and Donatello was the inventor of course. And so, I was the inventor and I wanted to grow up and be an inventor and so I told this to my dad and he said well in the real world inventors are engineers. And so that kind of stuck with me as I grew up and as I started to get into college and take career aptitude tests. I quickly learned that engineering kind of would fit my personality at least that. I thought at that point and the aptitude tests pointed me in that direction and I really liked Legos Lego Mindstorms at the time. I liked things like robotics. At least I liked imagining how they worked. I guess. I wasn't building them much myself other than the Lagos. And so I I headed to my mind that I was gonna grow up and be an engineer and eventually that evolved into being a mechanical engineer, so I went to school at UNLV and I was a couple years into study my studies as mechanical engineering and I went to. Me with a counselor and they said that in Nevada if I wanted to stay in this area that I wanted to that there's not a lot of opportunities for mechanical engineers. And I had gotten married my wife's from Nevada as well and so we decided the council recommended that I should look into civil engineering and so I did that and I eventually switched my major into civil engineering. And so fast forward to 2010 and I graduated with a degree in civil engineering. And. Up to this point I didn't really know what engineers did and growing up in my small town. I didn't know any engineers and so all I knew of engineering was kind of what my studies would at what I learned in my studies in school. But one thing that became a big part of my studies was 3D modeling. So I started messing around with Sketchup. It was Google Sketchup at the time and then a friend got me into Revit which was part of the Autodesk Suite by that point and so I started playing around with 3D modeling and I really enjoyed it. And so I would spend much of my time for school projects even even on presentation projects doing 3D modeling and trying associate it with my projects, for example, if I had to do some sort of calculations like let's say structural calculations. I would model the beam and I would model arrows and I would say what the answers were using the beginning of the arrows. I would do modeling projects for other people if they were doing projects. For my senior design competition. They were building the Patsy Tillman Bridge the Hoover Dam bypass Bridge at the time and so we decided to make an officer observation deck for it and so I spent almost the entire project making a 3D model of the bridge and then of the deck and making renderings of it. And did that for some of my friends that ended up beating us in the senior design competition? They were doing a bamboo orphanage a bam creek orphanage. Bamboo reinforced concrete I think is the way it's framed So I did some models about that would look like and they ended up beating us. So I did all this modeling and I didn't stop to think of maybe I wasn't interested in the actual engineering and the calculus and all that stuff but I so I continued on the path of engineering I graduated right during the worst part of the recession was fortunate to get a job at Nevada Department of Transportation. As a rotating engineer, there were hundreds of people that applied and they gave two positions out and I was one of them fortunately and so I had this. Wonderful opportunity to get an entry-level position with a department that had all sorts of options for civil engineers. And so as pretty excited about that the problem was I it wasn't long into that career path that I realized that engineering was about the farthest thing away from what I actually wanted to do. The I'm a creative person and there were all these rules every time we had to do something you had to look it up in some manual somewhere or run some equation and it was just driving me crazy. And the cubicle life and all that stuff was just it was just absolutely driving me crazy. And I I, Attributed it to me I thought there was something wrong with me and that I just needed to change myself and get over this and stay on this path that was gonna lead to stability for my growing family. I think I had one kid at the time. And so, I I stayed I stayed with it and just kind of kept that to myself but one day one of my friends was in project management came to me and asked if I would make a rendering showing the potential conflicts of a gas line with some bridge peers in a project in Las Vegas. He knew that. I had done some 3D modeling in college and Suicide you know could you just make something really simple. We got to show the gas line company that these this gas lines and conflict with these proposed bridge pairs and so I said yeah sure, you know, I'll see what I can do so I downloaded this program called InfraWorks that had been shown to me is I think it was called infrastructure modeler at the time downloaded this free 30D trial. And went to work modeling this taking the design files and making this really crude modeling of what this these conflicts would be. So that he could take it to this meeting he took it to the meeting and a huge success, you know, they were able to communicate what they wanted they didn't really care how crude my 3D modeling was and so he told another one of his project managing but buddies about what I'd done that guy came. Found me. He had a diverging diamond interchange a DDI which was I think it was the first one in Nevada at the time maybe the second one but those are still pretty new. It's a it's a whole different way for an interchange to work and there's a lot of confusion by the public because you're actually driving on their own say the road for a proportion. And so they want to make sure that the the public understood what they were getting into before the project even was completed. And so I took that same program still within the 30 days took the design files and figured out how to make a really crude rendering of this diverging diamond interchange and again big hit especially considering the amount that they paid me for it which was easy essentially zero. I was still rotating engineer which that program you don't have a lot of responsibility your goal your responsibility is to move from department division division and learn about what they do so that you can be better prepared to potentially even lead within the department. A lot of other agencies have programs similar to that. So you have a lot of responsibility and so it's easy for me to say okay. I'm going to take this on and do it and everyone was excited about it. They were like, oh wow, this is great. This this road to date dating engineer is adding some value in this way. And so I I like that I I for the first time working there for the first time I post college career. I wasn't looking at the clock all the time. I really enjoyed going to work and and so when these project managers when I'd be done, they would come back in the same way and that was amazing. We used to pay $40,000 for this. And and I had done it in just a couple weeks and again, you know, I'm sure what they were paying for and what I was delivering there was a big gap there. But in my mind, I was like man, that's that's like as much as I make it a whole year. And I just do that in a couple weeks. There's got to be some sort of company your business something some of it does this out there. I didn't I didn't really spend a lot of time looking for who that would be but I did plant a seat in my mind that said someday. I'm going to leave the engineering world and I'm going to start a 3D visualization company. And so, this was probably about 2011 and I did have a family. I think I by that point. I probably had two kids. And so, I knew I had a family that I needed to support I didn't want to be irresponsible and quit a job that I had just gone to school for for a lot of years. And, So I stuck it out. I stick out the engineering path kind of dabbling in this this 3D visualization on the side. And I stuck it out with the department for three for three years total and then I left we were in Carson City, we wanted to move closer to home so we moved to Las Vegas and I worked for a consulting firm. Private consulting firm for about a year. And this all culminated in 2014 when I received my PE license in in the way that works is you have to pass the PE test which I had done previously you can do that right after school and then you have to have four years of experience and so as soon as I had four years of experience I got my PE license. I left the engineering consulting world. We moved to our small town where my wife and I are both from all within about a week and I started the 3D visualization firm that I had planned on starting about three years before. And all this time, you know, those three years I wasn't just focusing on civil engineering. I was doing drafting. I was doing cat stuff. I was doing design stuff but I was I was making it was very clear that I wanted to do 3D visualization and a lot of my superiors a lot of people I worked with they they encouraged it they promoted it but there wasn't a structure in place to really make that work, you know, it's not it's it's a hard business model within. Within any company which will get into deeper I think later on in this podcast but so that they encouraged me but there was like yeah, but you're hired to do engineering so do engineering, you know, and I get that like I'm a employer now and so I totally get that but it just kind of fueled my drive someone to leave and start my own company and so at some point in probably 2013 late 2013. I was brainstorming on names there were a lot of different options that I had and I eventually came up with civil FX, which is the Coleman the combination. Of civil engineering and visual effects and if you've seen the logo it's the civil his gray it's like charcoal gray for a concrete and the FX is like green for like green screens and so I left I had a family we had just had our third kid at that point so I had this family we left moved out in the middle of nowhere had no income I tried to figure out how to do this on the side, but as always a conflict of interest with anywhere that I worked they wanted me to do visualization for them, which I get it, so I had to leave. And we had no income and we moved into a very small living situation to make it as portable as possible and had some savings and we we did our best to survive for those few first few years. I had a couple projects lined up and looking back. I thought that if I could just do those projects everything would be great but those projects you know in hindsight they were small they all didn't work out and they just barely made enough for us to to survive and so civil effects in the early years was just me basically and a laptop. And I had used infraworks I realized not too long into that that it wasn't getting me the quality that I wanted to give and so I got into Lumion which is a visualization engine for architects and then I'd use Sketchup for modeling and sometimes I do the sketch of myself, sometimes I would higher contractors to do it but the first couple years was basically that and and there wasn't even enough money for our family and so I did go work as a field engineer for a few months. And and just kept trying to plug away at the at the Civil FX thing as much as I could and in 2014 kind of even before I had left the consulting world I started another I started podcast called I think I called it the civil FX podcast starting out this is the civil FX podcast where we bridge the gap between civil engineering and special effects with your host. Sam Leidel. Eventually that evolved into beyond CAD you can you can still listen to all those episodes there is at least a hundred episodes out there available free to listen to and that that podcast is documents by journey and it's inconsistent. I think my biggest gap was over a year where I didn't record anything sometimes I was doing more than once a week, but it's a really good audio diary that's kind of what I ended up being of my first five or six years at Civil FX and I'll actually play a little bit of that podcast for you the the first one right here. So you might be wondering why is this not just the project visualization podcast or why not the probe is podcast which I might use that on an interchangeably with project visualization because that's a lot of syllables to say all the time. But as I looked as I searched for names and terms to call this podcast project visualization, it's just too generic but when you type that into Google a lot of things come up about data visualization, you know, you'll see infographic type stuff where they take mass data and they you know, show it visually represented it can be charged or graphs or 3d or whatever. So it just wasn't specific enough and so I really liked civil fx because that's what this is this is the special effects side of civil engineering, which is a quickly growing. Field right now and in one thing about that podcast is I documented the highs on the lows and some of them I was like man, I don't know if this is gonna serve if there's gonna work if I'm gonna survive I might have to throw in the towel and there were there were those out there listening that would email me and encourage me and that was very helpful and so in 2015 late 2015, we found out that I had been networking and trying to do everything I could and I've been asked to be part of the design bid. Build bid for a project called project neon which was a lot of largest infrastructure project still is in Nevada's history project neon is the largest public works project and state of Nevada history and as a Nevada native that was a big deal for me. So we built several miles of highway local roadway improvements and so there were three teams competing and I'd asked to be on just one of those teams and I knew that you know, I had a one in three chance of getting this and being the visualization lead on this big project. And so that's when I was working as a field engineer trying not to get my hopes up too much but eventually we learned in late 2015 that we had been selected as the design builder we were with the cue it atkins team and so that put us as the us Isaiah was me as a visualization lead it was me and some contractors that had been helping me along the way. And one of the parts of this story, I got to rewind back to like 2012 probably. My then two-year-old son had been bugging me and and I just needed a few minutes I just need a little bit of a break and so I I said here I just found out Google the game for kids or something on a computer and put him on it and it was a wreck-it Ralph racing game browser-based and it was very basic but entertaining for a bit and that was like an aha moment for me because I realized that was you know, that was a transportation thing that's I mean, that's what we're doing is we're building roads and we're putting cars on them and and this this aha moment was kind of like what? I can't we make our visualization interactive like that You know he was moving around this was some sort of go-kart racing game he was moving this car around and and so for all these years. I've been thinking about, you know, interactive visualization that's got to be there. I knew that architecture was training starting to get into that but transportation it was kind of a new thing. So when I got project neon the budget was I felt big enough that we could just do the full thing interactive. All the all that they required was the flight for animations that the UConn, Transportation projects as part of public outreach. And so they were just requiring that but I said look if you guys will just take a chance on me I know that I am an unknown quantity and that we've never done a project this big and and I don't have much to show for a bit. If you'll just let me take this budget make this whole thing interactive. I will deliver everything that's required of me and more. If you look in the past there has always been some sort of visualization of public outreach. The biggest goal of project neon was to make it interactive. And we knew if we could do that if we could build a 3D realistic representation of the project that we could do a lot of other cool things. And they find it kind of thought I was crazy and That I probably thought that I couldn't pull it off and I think both of those weren't far from the truth, but we they said okay whatever do it, we will let you go ahead. And so I went for it. And we did that. We took the unity 3D which is a game engine that developers used to make video games most often and visual experiences. And so we took it and we modeled this project existing and proposed in 3D we took the design files modeled it in proposed we made it so you could switch between existing proposed. We made it so you could move anywhere on the project. We set up all these cameras. We had all the landscaping in there And we made a so you could render out of the application render up to 4K video so that we could give the project outreach team all the visuals that they wanted image or video. And it was a great big success and it really changed the way people thought about visualization within the department and remember I had worked for the department and so a lot of these people I was working with they were former coworkers and their friends of mine. Now, I was working outside as a sub-consultant and so those relationships have been vital even to this day as part of civil back. S And what? Able to do and so we we did project neon it didn't go perfectly there were some hiccups but eventually they were all extremely excited about what we had done. We set up touch screen kiosks in their private public outreach office, so they were able to. People were able to come in and interact with the 3D model. And we did a virtual reality helicopter tour so you could put on a virtual reality headset and it's like you were sitting in the cockpit of helicopter flying over the project. People love that and we would go to the public meetings and we would do touch screens and virtual reality and we even did a driving simulator. We took we took that 3D model and we made it as useful as possible for this outreach champion on project neon. And so it was such a success that they decided that eventually over time they decided that they wanted, you know, as many of their big projects with public outreach as possible to utilize this sort of interactive visualization. And so with one fell swoop, we changed the dynamic of outreach for Nevada and I guess we helped change it. We didn't do it all by him by ourselves. And we also kind of developed a business model for ourselves, which is you know, we really get a lot of these end up projects. They didn't say we're gonna give all these projects to civil effects obviously they have a system that they have to follow but we did end up getting a lot of their major projects and so now in 2020 that has been a big part of the business model that we've generated is doing interactive visualization for these end-opt projects. And so over the years we've done dozens of these interactive projects Obviously we do not interactive projects we do fight through animations, we do photo composite renders. You can learn all about that at SILFX.com, but these interactive projects was kind of our bread and butter and that's where we learned so much because we go to all these public meetings we would meet the designers we would meet the public information officials, we'd meet the landscaping officials we'd meet politicians we'd meet news people and we would see what worked what didn't work in our technology began to evolve over. Time. And in hopefully I think got better, you know traffic is a big part of transportation and so we started developing a better and better traffic system into this point. It's it's gotten very it's a smart traffic system where they stop it signaling intersections they merge. They can be aggressive. They can do all these things. We can dial it up. We can dial it down. So that's been a big part of it. Our menu and our innocent interface our pinch to zoom all these things we just keep building the project after project to keep getting better and better. And so we've started to do projects in other markets. We've done projects in California and Idaho and Colorado and Arizona and Alaska Maryland, Florida all. Over and so it's it started to grow. And along that along the way in the early days of project neon it was just me as the employee and then all these 1099 contractors so they went official employees. But eventually about three years ago, I started to hire people as actual employees and I realized that I was up to that point wasn't building it wasn't anything bigger than me and I wanted to build something bigger than me. And so eventually, I started to hire some part time so I'm full-time W-2 employees. And and that's when the team started to grow at a competitor. Lewisberger was in it's an engineering firm. They were they've since been acquired I think it's WSP. And they a lot of the end up people that I worked with they said, oh, you know, we had this other animation done by this guy at Lewis Berger and I would look at it and was way better than what I was doing. And so I developed relationship with that artist and over time it became clear that if I wanted to get to where I wanted to be I needed to hire him. He was he was not just a consummate professional and a fantastic artist but he was my only competition in Nevada and so three years ago, I gave him an offer and he's been working for us ever since and his name is Wayne and you'll be hearing him a lot on this podcast. He's fundamental to what we do. In 2018, we opened an actual office up into that point he was just kind of remote workers. We did have small little offices but it wasn't really an office. So in 2018, we actually opened an office in Las Vegas. I still live out in the small town outside of Vegas but Wayne lived in Vegas and he wanted to build a team that he could manage and to do all these projects and so we we did that we hired more full-time artists and so now. We're still in that office in Las Vegas we have ten more than ten full-time employees and it's been a wonderful ride and weighing in all these wonderful artists have been an incredible part of that. They as when they got involved the quality not just from a visual standpoint but also from a functionality standpoint that all started to continue to improve, you know, things like traffic system, you need to have developers, so we've had developers along the way. And and so it's been wonderful but the the downside to all of this and if you'll go back and listen to those beyond camp podcasts and the dark days you'll notice that things aren't always great and they haven't always been great with the low effects and the reason that is is because it's a very inconsistent business model that we've set up. I mean, it's just like anything else like maybe construction, you know, where it's seasonal or where it's whenever you have big projects it's it's really bad in that way. We have no recurring revenue and so we'll get slammed where we have all these projects and they're good paying and we were working around the clock. And then we'll finish them all and then we'll just have months of nothing. And it's it's hard to you just trained all these artists they're doing a great job and then if you let them all off you're losing all that intellectual property and that so they're all these challenges associated with an inconsistent business model and and that's just I've been staring at the in the face for years now and in the early days it was it was just me and my family and then as we grew it was me and other people's families and and so that problem it doesn't. Go away, it just scales and amplifies and and gets a little scary every time. And so, I always knew that product was better than services. You know, if you can have a especially a digital product something that scales nicely it's gonna be a better business model than services because you're not quite as attached your production to the revenue that you can generate and you can maybe even get into some sort of passive type business model or more passive at least on what we've been doing. And so in the back of my mind I was always like how can I turn this into a software How could I turn this into a software And I had other people friends that we kind of asked me to sing question and I could never solve that because because there are specific challenges associated with what we do and why we need the manpower that we need to make these 3D models and make them look good and make them interactive and all the things we do and the biggest part was 3D modeling. And that project in that software that I talked about way in the beginning of this is calling infrastructure modeler later it became infraworks. It was auto desks and if you don't know, Desk is like the biggest player in this industry they make they may call this software used for engineering for architecture for video games for visual effects on movies all sorts of things. And they tried to solve this problem with infraworks and in my opinion, they've done a poor job because it was trying to assume what you wanted to model, you know, kind of make that up. And it just wasn't good enough. You needed someone actually to do the modeling and that always stumped me. I was like if this billion dollar company can't solve this how can I as a small consulting for making any sort of software that can solve the same problem? And so it wasn't until the summer of 2019, so just six months ago or so that I was staring another slowdown I can forecast these things in the future now because I kind of know how this works. And and I realized that a slowdown was coming up and I didn't know what to do and it made me think hard about civil effects in the future and what we're gonna do and my brother that is in this industry and you'll probably hear more about him or from him in the future, but it he kind of said hey, when are you gonna switch to this software? As a software as a service or build some sort of software. And it clicked he eventually I don't know what it was but it finally clicked and it was the the thing that clicked was I don't have to build a 3D modeling program. All I have to build is a visualization engine and market it to people that are already doing the 3D modeling. And it I know that sounds like so simple but that it changed everything. And so here we are. We have this three visualization studio. We are have lots of upcoming projects. We have lots of clients and I decide one day that we're gonna make software. And so, what do you do about that? And I don't my are client services side. It's not it's not something I want to throw away because it's valuable. It generates revenue especially when we're busy and it's we have a wonderful team. We have wonderful technology but I did realize that we needed to start making a switch towards building software as well. And so over the next couple of months, I started posting job posts for developers and started talking to investors and I said we are gonna do this. We're gonna make a visualization engine and there are visualization engines but they've either been marketed to they view either have been made for architecture firms or they haven't been made correctly in my opinion. They've been too proprietary not high enough quality. And so I started talking to investors. I started talking to programmers. And fast-forward to today when now we have three full-time programmers that we just hired for this project to build the software. And it's gonna be called FX Vision. You can learn more about it at civil fx.com/vision20 and we are going to launch it in the year 2020, hopefully by the end of this year. And so so that's where we are. We are and now we're just getting busy again with our client work. We just survived that slowdown. We're getting busy with our client work. And we are going to go down these dual paths of making wonderful experiences for our clients producing projects, like we have been for the last five and a half years and also building this software package that we can hopefully sell and someday generate reoccurring revenue. And so I'm going to talk more about what this podcast is going to be like in future episodes but a big part of it is going to be that what that journey is going to be like that transition of okay, we've just been doing client services to okay now we're building software. We're launching software can we get subscribers? What's this going to be like And also all of the time that we've spent at public meetings and working on public outreach. I've learned a lot I've made a lot of connections and I want to gather together as many of those individuals as I can for interviews public information officers, landscape, architects, project managers news individuals engineers interesting people team members within civil effects, and I want to make. Specifically for those people that are. That are passionate and involved in making civil engineering projects look better either making them look better in the design or make bringing them to the best light kind of as part of the public outreach. And so I hope that that that whole background of my story gives kind of credence to where we're going and beyond CAD is that podcast that other podcasts and it was just kind of me behind him Mike but this is gonna be more produced. It's gonna be a team effort. We're gonna have more voices involved literally and fear figuratively. One last thing I want to talk about is that we in 2019. I've gotten a lot of traction on LinkedIn and so in 2019. I started I was posting a lot of stuff about our traffic system and the project we're working on. And all this stuff and I was contacted by a company called Epic and they said hey you should you're doing interesting things you should submit for a mega grant. And I said, okay what the hexamega grant and I looked into it and I'll tell the full story in the future, but if it has to do with Fortnite and this company has all this money. Fortnite the makers of Fort I have all this money and they want to give it to developers. And and they had contacted me and so I submitted an application and about two months ago, we found out that we had received a mega grant and so that slowdown that I was talking about. This mega rank kind of saved us. It was at the perfect timing and and we're gonna make a I don't want to spoil it but we're making an application a virtual reality application that will hopefully make our roads safer and hopefully even save lives. And so that's gonna be another part of this story is this mega grant process that we're going through how we receive this grant to make something to push technology to hopefully make our road safer and what that's like. We never developed a fully fleshed out. Of virtual reality application You know we're a three visualization company and so it's tangentially related to what we do but we've never done something like this. And so, I'm gonna talk about that. And how that relates to the other two things that I talked about our client services and our push to make our own software. And so beyond CAD was me sending me my microphone talking and I know that's kind of what this episode has been but I promise that we make civil engineering look good will be something like you've never heard. If you're in this industry, I think you'll hopefully agree that we need more of this. We need more. Individuals that are passionate about this stuff sharing things and so you can reach out to me for right now you can email infowest of FX.com until we get more of our website or email and everything set up but I appreciate this and see you next episode.
Laptop or PC? What specs? How much RAM? What CPU? What GPU? What storage device? How can I choose the best? Which one do I buy? There are so many variations of computers that architecture students can choose from. It can be quite overwhelming.In today's episode of the Successful Architecture Student's Podcast, I explain whether you should buy a PC or Laptop for architecture school and which one is the best. I also explain how you can decide what hardware you need, and the difference your RAM, CPU Processor, GPU Processor and Storage Devices have on the work you do.Prefer listening/reading? Check out the show notes:https://successfularchistudent.com/16▼GET THE FREE ARCHI STUDENT SUCCESS CHECKLIST▼→ https://successfularchistudent.com/ ←Get my new ebook! “How to Ace Any Project in Architecture School” https://successfularchistudent.com/how-to-ace-any-project/When buying a laptop or PC computer, I say there are 4 general rules of thumb.1)You need at least 16GB of RAM (computer memory). RAM is what is used when working on photoshop, rendering programs such as 3DS Max, VRAY and Lumion. If you have less than 16GB of memory, your computer will struggle with these programs.2)You should have at least an i7 processor/CPU. This is what limits how fast you can render 3D models.3)You should have a 1TB SSD (minimum) for your main storage device. Alternatively, you can use a smaller sized SSD and use a Hard Drive to store your files. This is a cheaper option.4)Your Graphics Card, or GPU, determines how quickly and error-free you can view your 3D models in the workspace. A better GPU will allow you to work more efficiently when modelling and creating things in post-render programs such as photoshop.Before making any purchases, I suggest you benchmark the RAM, CPU, SSD OR GPU that you want to buy. This will give you an indication of its ability compared to other hardware out there. You can use sites such as Passmark for this. Just google “CPU benchmark” for example.

Si te gusta el podcast y quieres agradecermelo, me ayudaría mucho que te metieras en itunes y le dieras 5 estrellas al podcast, y si ya dejas un comentario, genial. Y si no me escuchas en itunes, pues un corazón verde en Spotify, o un Me gusta en Ivoox, todo ayuda. itunes.bimlevel.com Introducción 4º episodio sobre el IFC, es el tema del que más he hablado en el podcast, incluso más que de BIM360 (3 episodios).010 Entendiendo el ifc023 Exportando a ifc035 Exportando la i a ifcNo he tocado el tema de cómo importar a Revit, porque no da para un podcast de 20 minutos.Hay muy pocas cosas que poder configurar al importar.La clave está más en que se haya exportado correctamente.Lo dejaré para un episodio de los cortos en navidad o verano, puede que como respuesta a una pregunta de los oyentes.Hoy, toca un episodio de opinión:¿Por qué el IFC "no funciona"?¿Por qué el OpenBIM no termina de despegar?¿Están mal defendidos los argumentos que se utilizan tanto a favor como en contra del IFC? Típicas quejas sobre el IFC El IFC no funciona, no exporta ni importa bien.Se pierde información por el camino.El ifc no es editable, yo necesito poder editar.El ifc nunca va a funcionar porque a los fabricantes de software no les interesa.Todas estas quejas son por falta de conocimientos técnicos o errores de concepto. Los verdaderos 3 problemas del IFC Autodesk no le da prioridad El principal problema del ifc.Nos guste o no, Autodesk tiene tanta cuota de mercado, que es capaz de marcar el camino tecnológico del sector.Apple lanza una tablet, y las tablets se ponen de moda. Apple saca un móvil con reconocimiento facial un año después que Samsung, pero se pone de moda con Apple.Autodesk es socio fundador de la Building Smart, tiene una web sobre interoperabilidad, 14 de sus productos son compatibles con IFC..., pero no hace una apuesta fuerte por el open BIM, como si hace CYPE, por ejemplo.En Autodesk no hay un equipo de desarrolladores potente dedicado al IFC. El IFC no le da dinero a Autodesk.No es una gran demanda de sus usuarios y un factor crítico en la venta de sus productos.Últimamente ha habido un oasis de mejoras en el desierto, pero provocadas por dos hechos concretos:Quieren conseguir la certificación para IFC4.Quieren que BIM360 sea un plataforma incluso para usuarios no Autodesk, y eso necesita de un buen visor online de IFC. Es complejo de aprender Por qué llamarlo IFC2X3 TC1 (IFC 2.3.1) o IFC4 ADD2 TC1 (IFC 4.0.2.1). La web del IFC es horrible, del siglo XX. https://bimblog.bondbryan.co.uk/ifc-industry-foundation-classes-an-introduction-for-autodesk-revit-users/ El estándar se explica y se documenta siempre desde un punto de vista informático, como para desarrolladores.Formatos como el pdf o el mp3 han triunfado porque son sencillos de crear.El usuario medio no quiere "pelearse" con la informática, si le das a elegir entre usar 2 botones y usar 4 botones, eligirá 2 botones. También para los desarrolladores IFC está basado en el formato STEP que a su vez usa el esquema EXPRESS. Son estándares, tienen sus normas ISO, pero son de hace más de 30 años. 30 años en programación es mucho tiempo.Muchos desarrolladores que no son de la "vieja escuela", tienen que empezar casi de cero cuando quieren crear herramientas IFC.No sé de programación, dejo tres enlaces que entran en detalle:José Gemez: http://www.garquitectos.es/2016/05/25/ifc-el-rey-esta-desnudo/Tim Davies: https://constructingdata.wordpress.com/2019/01/20/fair-critisms-of-ifc/https://constructingdata.wordpress.com/2019/05/06/streamlining-ifc/ No hay una masa crítica de usuarios Los estándares, las ISO, la interoperabilidad, nos son prioridades para el usuario medio.La mayoría de la gente no sabe la diferencia entre PDF y PDF/A. https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/PDF/AEn España tenemos un estandar abierto para mediciones y presupuestos: FIEBDC (Formato de Intercambio Estándar de Bases de Datos para la Construcción). Más conocido por la extensión del formato de archivo .bc3.Con este formato podemos descargarnos una base de precios de la empresa A, usarla como referencia para montar nuestro presupuesto con el software de la empresa B, y enviarselo a un colaborador que usa un software de la empresa C.Esto es algo grandioso, y que sólo pasa en España.Pues aún así, lo primero que hacen muchos usuarios cuando reciben un .bc3 es preguntar: ¿No lo tienes en formato Presto?Todo por ahorrarse un par de clics para importar, y no querer saber que parte de la configuración avanzada tocar para que se importe correctamente.https://www.bimrras.com/episodio/039-gestion-de-costes-en-bim-con-fernando-valderrama/ minuto 39.Entre el 60% y el 90% (depende del país) de los usuarios usa software de Autodesk como herramienta principal o al menos como segunda herramienta.Ejemplo: ingeniería que calcula con CYPE pero que monta planos con AutoCAD.Hay muchos usuarios que no tienen la necesidad de usar estándares abiertos para poder trabajar con sus colaboradores, porque todos están en entorno Autodesk.Se genera un efecto red que hace que sea más común que los usuarios de otros software se pasen a Autodesk (aunque sea de forma puntual), antes que intentar trabajar con estándares abiertos, que son complejos y justo con Autodesk muy muy complejos. El pez que se muerda la cola No hay una masa crítica de usuarios Open BIM porque es complejo y Autodesk no apuesta por ello.El open BIM es técnicamente complejo porque no hay una masa crítica de usuarios que por un lado haga que aumente el número de colaboradores con la Building Smart para que su desarrollo sea más rápido, se pueda simplificar e invertir más recursos humanos en evangelización.Autodesk no apuesta por el open BIM de forma potente porque no hay una masa crítica de usuarios que lo demande como prioridad.Tampoco es atractivo para desarrolladores muy pequeños, que prefieren crear un plugin para Revit, a un editor de IFCs por ejemplo.Lo desarrolladores medianos si que apuestan por el open BIM porque es la única forma de competir contra el efecto red de Autodesk. El open BIM tiene ventajas pero no todas son críticas Interoperabilidad Esta es la ventaja más importante:Poder aprovechar el trabajo de otros, independientemente del software que usen.Tener en mi modelo de arquitectura de Revit, una referencia con las instalaciones hechas en CYPE.Aprovechar la geometría creada con ArchiCAD en proyecto básico, para continuar con el de ejecución en Allplan, por ejemplo.Poder usar cualquier software aunque no pertenezcan al mismo ecosistema.Usar Solibri para comprobaciones de un modelo de Revit, que Navisworks no es capaz de hacer.Realmente no es tan imprescindible porque:El efecto red de Autodesk es muy poderoso.Muchos programas apuesta por interoperabilidad 1 a 1 con Revit:Arquímedes, Presto, SAP2000, Lumion, Caneco...Tekla está preparando exportación a RVT.Aecosim (ahora OpenBuilding) soporta de forma casi nativa las familias de Revit.La interoperabilidad 1 a 1 es más cómoda y sencilla que el uso de IFC. El IFC se usa sólo cuando esta interoperabilidad 1 a 1 no existe. Conservar archivos a largo plazo Si tengo todo un proyecto guardado en un formato propietario, ¿podré consultarlo dentro 5, 10 o 50 años?Nadie garantiza que ArchiCAD o Revit sigan existiendo en el 2030.En el caso de Autodesk tienen una política muy agresiva de obsolescencia programada:Cada una versión de Revit trae consigo una nueva versión del formato de archivo, incompatible con la versión del año pasado.Los visores online como los de BIM360, sólo admiten las 4 últimas versiones. No podemos visualizar un archivo de Revit 2016 (año 2015).Y sólo hay dos soluciones a esto:Actualizar cada año todos los archivos de todos los proyectos, pagando cada año a Autodesk por el software.Imagina un arquitecto que se jubila, o que cierra el estudio y se dedica a hacer páginas webs. Quiere conservar sus proyectos al menos 10 años por temas legales, y toda la vida como un "recuerdo".Guardarlo en proyecto en formatos "atemporales" como el pdf para documentos y planos 2D, e IFC para geometría 3D con información.Este problema siempre ha existido:La información guarda en papel se puede perder por cosas como humedades, inundaciones, incendios, etc...Hoy en día, nadie tiene un lector de disquetes, de CDs casi.Hace sólo 10 años había gente guardando sistemáticamente todas sus canciones en formato mp3, en CDs. Y CDs de los buenos, que duraban 30 años en lugar de 15 (siempre que no se te rayaran claro).Que siempre haya existido no quiere decir que no le intentemos poner solución, y la mejor solución en temas BIM y a octubre de 2019 es claramente el IFC y el pdf.Pero tenemos que recordar que los edificios están vivos, cada año se ejecutan reformas, ampliaciones, labores de mantenimiento, etc.Un gemelo digital debe estar siempre actualizado, sino perderá su utilidad gradualmente, hasta tener que volver a hacer un levantamiento desde cero.En estos casos necesitamos si o si modelos nativos de trabajo, cuyos formatos iremos migrando de versión en versión. Neutralidad tecnológica en licitaciones públicas Las administraciones públicas no pueden pedir formato .rvt porque esto infringiría el principio de neutralidad tecnológica. La neutralidad tecnológica es sólo un principio, no una ley.Las administraciones públicas se lo pueden saltar si lo justifican objetivamente, por ejemplo:Necesitamos que los entregables sean editables paramétricos, no existen en la actualidad editores paramétricos de IFC, y dentro de los editores paramétricos disponibles en el mercado, esta administración se ha gastado X en licencias e Y en formación del editor paramétrico Autodesk Revit, que hemos elegido por ser el más extendido.En futuros episodios entraremos en detalle en este tema. Conclusiones El IFC si funciona, pero es un poco complejo de conseguirlo por culpa principalmente de Autodesk, y poquito también de la Building Smart.Si hubiera más usuarios de open BIM, Autodesk se pondría las pilas y la Building Smart tendría más recursos para mejorar.El problema es que estas dos circunstancias se retroalimentan.El open BIM es necesario para temas de interoperabilidad, pero en muchos casos hay alternativas 1 a 1 más cómodas.El open BIM es necesario para el almacenamiento seguro a largo plazo, pero son pocos los que se están dando cuenta de este problema. Quizás pase como en la serie Years and Years de HBO, donde en 2027 todo el mundo vuelve a usar papel. ¿Quieres que responda a tus preguntas en el podcast?

Platicaremos acerca de la evolución de la visualización en 3D para la industria AEC. Miguel nos cuenta un poco de historia sobre sus orígenes en el mundo del archviz. Igualmente, paseamos por los dos grandes grupos de motores de renderizado: el método de ray-tracing y el PBR (physical based rendering). Dentro del grupo de los ray-tracers, mencionamos al líder actual, Vray (https://www.chaosgroup.com/es) así como otros motores como: Corona (https://corona-renderer.com/), el ahora extinto Mental ray, iray (https://www.irayplugins.com/), Octane (https://home.otoy.com/render/octane-render/), Maxwell (http://www.nextlimit.com/maxwell/), Artlantis (https://artlantis.com/en/) y Keyshot (https://www.keyshot.com/). Posteriormente, se explicó el método bajo el cual se basa el Physical Based Rendering, y sus diferencias respecto al ray-trace. Con mención especial a sus orígenes en la industria de los videojuegos, de dónde destacan los principales exponentes como lo pueden ser Unreal (https://www.unrealengine.com/en-US/), Unity (https://unity.com/es), Cryengine (https://www.cryengine.com/), Havok (https://www.havok.com/), Frostbite (https://www.ea.com/frostbite). En el ámbito de los PBR, pasamos a las soluciones RT (real time) que han tomado relevancia en los años recientes, y sus vinculaciones con los modeladores BIM. Entre éstas se mencionan Twinmotion (https://www.unrealengine.com/en-US/twinmotion), Lumion como actual líder del segmento (https://www.lumion.es/), Lumen RT (https://www.bentley.com/es/products/brands/lumenrt) y Enscape (https://enscape3d.com/). También conversamos acerca de las modalidades comunes de cómo se canaliza el desarrollo de la visualización 3d de proyectos: consultores externos y producción desde el estudio. Finalmente, se plantean algunos de los retos o nuevos escenarios hacia los que avanza la visualización 3D, tomando en cuenta el avance del BIM, de las tecnologías como realidad aumentada (AR) y realidad virtual (VR). Así como algunas opiniones sobre cómo afrontar estos cambios y mantenerse vigente como proveedor de servicios en el campo de ArchViz.

Disculpas por el sonido del anterior episodio, y el retraso de este, pero mis vecinos están de reformas y es imposible grabar en condiciones. Se publica el estándar BIM para proyectos públicos en Chile https://planbim.cl/ Canal de YouTube Plan BIM Antecedentes Se lanzó el 12 de junio de 2019.Tiene 150 páginas, además de plantillas en excel de matriz de LODs y de BEPs (Planes de ejecución BIM).Está desarrollado por CORFO (Corporación de Fomento de la Producción), Agencia del Gobierno de Chile, dependiente del Ministerio de Economía, Fomento y Turismo.El equipo está formado por 8 personas, más 53 personas que colaboraron en las 16 mesas de discusión que se celebraron.El equipo de la comisión BIM esta (estaba) compuesto por 17 personas, más toda la gente que está (estaba) metida en los 30 subgrupos de trabajo.Tienen un presupuesto de 1,4 millones de euros. La comisión BIM española, 0,4 millones.Por PIB nominal, España está el 13º y Chile el 41º.Por población, España tiene 46 millones, y Chile 18 millones.Responde a un plan de implementación (Plan BIM) que comenzó en 2016 y que tiene dos hitos importantes:Año 2020: incorporar el BIM en los proyectos públicos de las principales administraciones públicas del país (Ministerios, Policía, Ejército, etc).Año 2025: incorporar el BIM en los proyectos públicos de las administraciones regionales y conectar el Plan BIM con "DOM en línea".DOM en línea es una plataforma digital, para realizar todos los requerimientos, permisos y resoluciones necesarios de edificación y recepción final de los proyectos de construcción a nivel municipal pero única para todo el país. Flipa!. Base técnica Está basado en estándares internacionales:IFC, BCF y COBie.ISO 19650 1 y 2, y la PAS1192 británica.LODs de la AIA y el BIMFORUM USA.Usos BIM de la Universidad de Pennsylvania.Guía BIM del Departamento de veteranos de EEUU.Manual básico de entrega de información (Building Smart Holanda)Define 4 conceptos clave:Usos BIM.Tipos de información (15 grupos de parámetros).17 Parámetros IFC.80 Parámetros Cobie.206 parámetros opcionales.Niveles de información (LODs).Estados de avance de información de los modelos (información necesaria en cada fase del proyecto). Funcionamiento Cruzamos los usos con los tipos de información para saber qué información necesitamos para cumplir los objetivos.Cruzamos los LODs con las fases del proyecto para saber cuánta información de la definida anteriormente necesitamos en cada etapa.La administración pública debe definir los objetivos y los entregables, pero cuentan con tablas que les dicen qué cosas puede y no pueden pedir según los objetivos que han establecido y en qué fase lo pueden pedir y en cual no.El licitador debe presentar un PRE-BEP explicando en detalle cómo va a conseguir esos objetivos y las características de los entregables.Una vez gane la licitación, se haría un BEP definitivo. Conclusiones Excelente trabajo que posiblemente se convierta en la referencia para todo el mundo ibero-americano, como pasa con las normas británicas en el mundo anglosajón.Además, al no "reinventar la rueda" y estar basado en estándares ya existentes, la empresas Chilenas podrán trabajar en el extranjero sin cambiar su forma de trabajar y las empresas extranjeras podrán ofrecer sus servicios en Chile de igual forma.Lo más importante, el trabajo de estudio y homogeneización de todas las administraciones públicas del país.Todas las administraciones va a pedir de la misma forma.Y van a pedir sólo lo que necesitan aunque no sepan BIM.Y mientras en Chile sacan un estándar en junio del 2019 para empezar a aplicarlo en 2020, en España la noticia es que el 24 de abril se celebró la reunión constitutiva de la nueva comisión BIM (nueva porque con esta van dos, pero esta sin presupuesto). Lo mejor que podemos hacer es un copia-pega de la chilena e irla adaptando según la experiencia y lo que nos vaya viniendo del grupo de trabajo BIM de la UE (otros que tampoco parece que estén haciendo mucho). Leica prepara un escáner láser de mano: BLK2GO BLK2GO Se parece a un termo de café, pero con un agujero para meter la mano y agarrarlo.El sensor LIDAR (lo que se mueve), está encapsulado.Tiene una precisión de 700.000 puntos por segundo.Su hermano mayor el BLK360 captura 360.000 por segundo.Cámara de 12 megapixeles de alto contraste.Tres cámaras panorámicas para navegación visual.Tecnología que estrenaron con el escáner RTC360. Son "ojos" que van mirando el entorno para saber donde estás mientras te mueves.Esta puede ser la clave que minimice los problemas de precisión que tienen este tipo de escáneres móviles.Batería de 45 minutos.Memoria para 6 horas de escaneos.Pesa 775 gramos (como sostener 2 latas de coca-cola llenas, a la vez)Se espera que salga en octubre de 2019.No sabemos precio. Sale Archicad 23 Mejoras en el rendimiento, sobre todo en el arranque del programa y apertura de archivos.Herramientas de Pilar y Viga Rediseñadas: ahora permite modelar más rápido, crear detalles constructivos y mediciones precisas. Los pilares complejos y las vigas curvas, alveolares y de sección variable son más personalizables.Nueva herramienta Abertura, dedicada a modelar y coordinar vanos, nichos y rebajes, como aberturas horizontales, verticales o inclinadas entre elementos, grupos de elementos o incluso entre pisos. Conexión con Solibri, dRofus y Rhino-Grasshopper mejorada, sobre todo esta última que permite conexión en tiempo real.Certificado para exportar a ifc 4 reference View. Aunque no es oficial del todo. En la web de certificado de momento sólo aparece Vectorworks, pero será cuestión de días. https://www.buildingsmart.org/compliance/software-certification/certified-software/ La Fundación Laboral de la Construcción lanza un software de Prevención de riesgos en BIM https://www.fundacionlaboral.org/actualidad/noticias/fundacion/prevencion-de-riesgos-laborales Se llama PRL en BIM.Es gratuita.Desarrollada por CYPE.Basada en formato IFC.Permite modelar barandillas, soportes de barandillas, redes verticales, soportes de redes verticales, andamios, protecciones de huecos, grúas, vallas, casetas de obra, zonas de acopio, señales de seguridad y carteles de señales de seguridad. También pozos, zanjas o vaciados.Se pueden crear fases constructivas tanto para los objetos importados como para los de PRL modelados.Se pueden hacer comprobaciones automáticas de:Recorridos máximo de salidas dentro de una excavación.Separación máxima entre soportes de barandilla.Separaciones máximas y mínimas de redes.Permite exportar la geometría en IFC, los planos en PDF, DWG, DXF, y las mediciones en BC3, PDF Y DOCX. Unity anuncia Reflect Qué es Unity Es un motor gráfico como puede ser Unreal. Se usan mucho en videojuegos pero también en aplicaciones más nuestras como Revizto. Qué es Reflect https://youtu.be/LTYaPOFgC9gTipo Enscape o Lumion.Exportar de Revit a Unity en un sólo click.Federar modelos en vivo de múltiples usuarios.Realicar iteraciones de diseño rápidamente dentro de visualizadores 3D interactivos, inmersivos y en tiempo real.Saldrá en otoño de 2019.La gran ventaja de todo esto es que Unity Reflect no es una aplicación cerrada, sino una nueva funcionalidad, que todos los softwares que usen Unity, podrán aprovechar.Autodesk ha tirado la toalla con la realidad virtual, después de Stingray (que acabó integrado en 3DS Max), y de Revit LIVE, que sigue funcionando pero sin desarrollo y no es compatible con revit 2020, sólo anteriores.Anunció un acuerdo de colaboración con Unity en octubre de 2017.

On this weeks episode of reThink Real Estate, we discuss ways to clear your mind and focus on your business. There are hundreds of headlines vying for our attention which serve as little more than a distraction to our businesses. We discuss our thoughts on what to pay attention to and what to ignore so that our businesses don't suffer. Rethink Real Estate Podcast Transcription Audio length 14:41 RTRE 55 – Pay Attention to What Matters in Your Real Estate Business [music] [Chris] Welcome to re:Think Real Estate, your educational and hopefully entertaining source for all things real estate, business, news and tech. [Christian]: I am Christian Harris in Seattle, Washington. [Nathan]: Hi, I am Nathan White in Columbus, Ohio. [Chris]: And I am Chris Lazarus in Atlanta, Georgia. Thanks for tuning in. [music] [Chris]: Everybody and welcome back to re:Think Real Estate. I am Chris here with Christian. Nate can't join us today. He is too busy selling homes. What is going on Christian? [Christian]: Not much just running into the office after frantically dropping off my son at school and yeah trying to stay cool. What are we gonna talk about today? [Chris]: What is going on in real estate. There is some headlines out on Inman. Open Door picks up another 300 million dollars at a reported 3.8 billion dollar evaluation. Caldwell [phonetics] does some rebranding and agents how to become influencers. [Christian]: Yeah I was really enjoying the comment section of the Caldwell [phonetics] branding. That is always gold you know seeing what people decide to what hill they decide to dive on [inaudible] [laughter] with rebranding and the broker decided to… [Chris]: Well brokerage that are not at and even agents…Everybody has an opinion and everybody wants to voice their opinion in trivial [censored]. I mean remember with NAR. NAR changed the logo last year. And it threw up such a sting that they changed it back. [Christian]: Did they change it back? I didn't notice. [Chris]: Oh yeah yeah they…So… [Christian]: 100.000 down the drain. [Chris]: So they did a boxed R. The cube with the R on it. And then it threw such a sting that they got rid of it. They spend like 300 million dollars for some astronomical… [Christian]: It was like 300.000. [Chris]: Yeah it was a lot of money. [Christian]: That's a lot of money for yeah, changing one R into a different type of R so… [Chris]: Yeah and then everybody hated it so… [Christian]: People do. It's funny as we're kind of going over the headlines of what is happening. What is getting all the buzz in real estate. You brought up a good point that all this stuff probably has nothing to do with my business or your business or any agents actually doing business. It's all distractions and shiny objects. [Chris]: Yeah I mean for a…it gives people an excuse to not focus on doing what they need to do which is sell real estate. Or train their agents to sell real estate if you're a broker. You know it's like watching the local news right? It takes up a lot of time, but what is the same news every single day? Somebody died, somebody got robbed, something broke in the city and somebody is doing something crazy for consumers. [Christian]: Sure. [Chris]: That is the same news every single day and people spend hours of their day, in the morning and the evening paying attention to that [censored]. [Christian]: Right. Well it is funny too I mean you know kind of running with that example. Because what we're talking about here is information, right? We're talking about our awareness of our world around us or what we considered the world around us. It is interesting if you do a little like kind of historic reading of like how technology changes, how we interact with each other and with technology you know like the value of information has changed from 100 plus years ago where the value was largely isolated to your local community. And it only had value if applied to your life directly. You know if like “What is the rainfall gonna be so I know what my crops are gonna be this year”. That's is what mattered. Nowadays most information is human neutral stories. Which means 99% of it has absolutely no bearing on your life whatsoever. [Chris]: What did…What did Breaderman [phonetics] write about today? And usually when he writes something it is pretty good. But you know like what is Zillow announcing. What evaluation is iBuyers gonna have now? And it all is… [Christian]: Sure in 10 years 60% of the market is gonna be iBuyers. So…That may or may not be true but what to do with my business today you know like some of that stuff can inform but by in large nothing comes of it and it doesn't really affect your stuff. Like you know so the question really becomes why do we get so easily distracted, wrapped around excel about stuff that doesn't help our clients or doesn't get us more business or doesn't grow our brokerage. It is just distractions… [Chris]: People need something to talk about. [Christian]: You mean today. Right. [Chris]: It gives people something to talk about at the water cooler. “Oh what about this? What about that?” But you know what, the water cooler doesn't make you money? Does it? [Christian]: Yeah but you know it gives you that dopamine to be upset about something. Or enraged about something or worried. [Chris]: It allows people to feel about things that aren't important. [Christian]: Yeah. And I wouldn't say like these things aren't irrelevant. Necessary. But by in large it might affect things years down the road. But again you know it's energy. It's…You know you've got a limited emotional and mental energy and response so much of it on Facebook or on this you know kind of what's the big distractor and whatever else. As opposed to building something, doing our business, staying in our lane. Doing our thing. You know like when I was at a larger franchise yeah there is people shuffling around doing transactions but mostly it was people sitting around [censored] about other people's business or “Have you seen what that person is doing or that person is like”. What does that have to do with you? Like mind your own business you know. [Chris]: “I think our broker is sleeping with the loan officer…[crosstalk]. I think our broker is sleeping with the loan officer”. “Really?” Yeah I mean think like that that those permeate offices and corrupt culture. And you know from a macro level it is important to understand where the industry is going. So that you know how to kind of steer and navigate the industry with your business. But for the most part every other day when you see a new evaluation all you need to know is venture capital funds are putting money at high buyers. That's it. [Christian]: True. Yeah. Well for the average agent like you know if Compass is growing in a market or Open Door has you know some hundreds of million dollar you know the funding you know round fund how does that affect your business? You know maybe if your brokerage is thinking about the future and how you want to structure your business it could you know just looking at trends but I mean I think a lot of it comes back to you know, we've got limited time and resources. Why are we spending it on these things that don't directly impact us? [Chris]: It's easy. Because it is easy to talk about that. And it is harder to go in and put the work into growing our business and to talk about that. It's not…It's not cool to talk about the work that people don't want to do or that aren't doing. [Christian]: Trust me… [Chris]: And when you're at the water cooler and you're sitting there talking about “Oh I just made this call and that call” and people are like “Eh” and they clam up and they're crossing their arms because they don't talk about that because they're not making their calls. [Christian]: Sure. [Chris]: They're not out there prospecting. They're not talking about you know, the next best thing in growing their business. For a couple of reasons. So there is the idea of competition selling a lot of offices. They don't come up at their training and their culture from an abundant perspective. They think everybody is competing against one another and therefore they don't share ideas. And then you know the other side of that is they don't know what the [censored] they're doing. So they… [Christian]: I mean I think part of that…That is practically true but I think the other side of it is most agents know what they need to be doing but they're not willing to do it. [Chris]: Yeah. [Christian]: You know and so it comes down to why do so many agents hate being real estate agents [laughter]. You know they're not willing to like do the work. You know and thinking about this from a brokerage perspective, you know like I have had to think about whether the different models we could have. How much do we provide? Do we provide leads? Do we just provide systems? Do we provide nothing? You know and we try to do like this middle road of competitive commission split with the essential tools to help them be successful with serving their clients. [Chris]: Yeah. [Christian]: But you know than there are some models that like provide you know leads and this and that. You know initially that is like “OK well that would be great if we got to a point when there is like abundance of incoming you know business that we could refer at those leads or whatever”. But at the end of the day if a brokerage is providing all that to their agents than what the hell do you need agents for if they're not…I mean what is their job if they can't even provide their own business? [Chris]: A brokerage at that point becomes a big team. [Christian]: Right because essentially I mean that is what you're doing if you're providing leads. You're doing everything for that agent. They're just sitting there you know. [Chris]: Wrapped up and happy. [Christian]: Yeah they get it handed to them. It's like I mean the point of brining that up is you know what is the role of an agent if they're not willing to like do anything. If they're not willing to provide their own business, grow their business. Find new clients. You know than there can be a lot of different ways. That's not just I mean your classic cold call meeting. I mean you can do so many different things. But the point of it is you have to be doing certain actions everyday to move that ball forward. [Chris]: Oh yeah. [Christian]: If they're not sure how to spend their time talking about the thread of Open Door or Compass or the NAR or Lumion [phonetics] Legal Battle or how that may change the industry like yeah that is interesting but it's not gonna help you in your business today, you know. [Chris]: Definitely. I think that you hit it right on the money. If it is not gonna help you in your business today I don't think you need to be paying that much attention to it. Get back. Put the horse blinders on. Look down. One step in front of the other. And you know what a lot of agents don't do is they don't go out and try new things. They will just sit there and look at what other people are doing but they don't actually go out and try something on their own. [Christian]: Well they'll poop on it. They're gonna be like “Oh that is the stupidest thing ever. Until it starts working and they try to copy it. [Chris]: There was a…there was a video that I saw going around and you know gets mixed reactions. There is an agent. Erica Gotiwolf [phonetics] she did a home tour where her entire body was blurred out and looked like she was naked. I am sure she wasn't but she well picture it was naked doing a naked home tour. A couple of days having that video out, property is under contract. She has 5 listing appointments and 2 referrals. There was a lot of negative feedback on that video but you know what half of the people really thought she was ballsy for doing it. And she got additional business out of it. You know I shared that example with my agents this morning. And low and behold they you know I think a light clicked and they started realizing you know what not everybody has to love what I am gonna do in order to be successful at this. So… [Christian]: Well and the reality is if you're doing something different or better you're probably getting negative feedback than positive. [Chris]: Definitely. [Christian]: And you just have to…You have to know that the people who you know the haters are people who are gonna be stuck in mud and go and hate anything that is new. Don't worry about them. You know if you're doing you know Sutton you know naked home tours, if the goal is to get more eyes in that listing for your client, that is affective. You know you called the stick or, you know, whatever but it was effective and aligned her wish people who likes the outside of the box marketing ideas so got her more business for her ideal client base. Who cares what people who don't understand that think. [Chris]: Absolutely. So I think the whole point of this episode is don't pay attention to everything that is in the headlines in real estate because it is going to distract you everyday. It's all the same stuff. Somebody has gotten more of an evaluation. Somebody is telling you how you can become an influencer. Somebody is saying that this company did something else. Focus on your business and just the how…if you pay enough attention to the headlines you don't understand where the industry is going. Don't worry about all the shiny objects. [Christian]: I mean at the end of the day I wanna say…You know I don't want to say “Don't pay attention to this stuff” but just be intentional about how much time you're spending. I mean I know like people who are really intentional and really killing it on social media they're not doing it that way because they're on social media all day but they're doing it because “This half hour is dedicated to me building my social media” and they don't touch it the rest of the day. So they're actually productive. Do the same thing with these headlines. “OK here is my half hour to read the most sensational headlines and then move on to my day”. [Chris]: All right.
