finished AU2016!

shoot I wasn’t gonna cry here..... one of the most emotionally-anchored seasons of Survivor omg like it’s kinda crazy... I really loved the post-merge (even more than 2017’s tbh despite it being entirely too long). I feel like this season has made me realize I’m kind of pro-Pagonging? idc I would watch Brooke, Flick, and El have a chokehold on every season it’s FUN!! anyone who thought otherwise is a loser. In this season especially it’s seriously iconic how easily and viciously people get iced out of the majority alliance one by one before the endgame betrayals start happening and they cut so deep and actually feel meaningful which is such a rarity in modern Survivor. I just kinda wish these episodes were shorter, and I’d personally combine Conner/Kate’s boots into one episode, scrap the non-elim ep, and have the finale include Flick... it would make for a perfect binge-watch like that. anyway one of my all time favorite top 3s btw. and justice for Phoebe but we been knew that.

Tips and Tricks for using Autodesk Advance Steel from AU2016 (Part III)

This is my last post summarizing some of the Advance Steel tips & tricks that I described in my class during the Autodesk University MEP & Structural Fabricators Forum 2016. I hope these posts have helped you better understand the efficient practices for workflows between Advance Steel and other Autodesk software. If you’re just stumbling upon this series, check out part I and part II here:

Tips and Tricks for using Autodesk Advance Steel from AU2016 (Part I)

Tips and Tricks for using Autodesk Advance Steel from AU2016 (Part II)

1. Synchronize steel members & connections between Revit and Advance Steel

Since the 2017 release, users can insert fully parametric steel connections on structural sections in the Revit environment with the Steel Connections in Revit extension (which can be downloaded & installed from your Autodesk Account).

But did you know that you can also synchronize not just the steel members but also steel connections between Revit and Advance Steel by using the Advance Steel 2017 Extension for Revit which can be downloaded & installed from the Autodesk App Store?

  2. Linking Advance Steel with Robot Structural Analysis software

With the Robot – Advance link which can be downloaded & installed from the Autodesk App Store, users can start creating the structural model in Advance Steel and send it to Robot Structural Analysis Professional for optimization of the structural members.

Engineers can validate and optimize any kind of structures with advanced BIM-integrated analysis and design tools to understand the behavior of the structure type and verify code compliance.

When the structural model changes, team members can easily synchronize the modifications at any time with a full control on the modifications thanks to the synchronization dialog box.

Once the model has been optimized in Robot Structural Analysis software, it can be completed in Advance Steel by inserting components such as steel connections & miscellaneous steel, and high-quality shop drawings can be generated automatically from the 3D model.

The link between Robot and Advance Steel software helps make the workflow smoother by coordinating the design models with detailed models. The bidirectional interoperability between the two products helps reduce the time needed to create and update the 3D model and helps to avoid potential errors resulting from manual coordination.

3. Create a 4D simulation of your Advance Steel model in Navisworks

You can export an Advance Steel model to Navisworks by using the “Export to Navisworks” icon available in the “Export & Import” ribbon.

The file includes object properties that identify the section sizes, etc…

Once scheduling tasks and rules are assigned to objects in your design, Navisworks will allow you to perform a 4D simulation of your project, complete with a Gantt chart, which provides a visual representation of your schedule.

  4. Access your Advance Steel model from any device with A360 Viewer

You can use A360 Viewer to instantly view and share 2D or 3D design files – even large and complex models – right in your browser. You can then view them on any device, whether you are in the office or in the field.

The best part about the A360 Viewer is you don’t have to download or install any software, or create a login and password to use it. Simply visit https://360.autodesk.com/viewer in your web browser (Chrome, Firefox or another browser that supports WebGL 3D graphics) and upload your Advance Steel DWG file for free!

When you upload the DWG file of a native Advance Steel model, here is the result:

You can get information from the 3D model by using the Properties tool:

A360 Viewer offers some reviewing tools such as markup, comment on point, comment on object and snapshot.

You can get a link, copy and paste this link into an email message and share it with anyone you like.

5. Collaborate with BIM 360 Team

BIM 360 Team is much more than a file viewer. It is a cloud-based collaboration platform for communication, file sharing and design reviews for design teams and their project stakeholders.

You can upload the native DWG file(s) of your Advance Steel model and/or drawings to BIM 360 Team, and have access to object properties such as section size, length, weight.

BIM 360 Team also enables markup, comment and interact with over 100 2D and 3D file types.

One of my favorite tools is the sectioning tool where you can drag the desired manipulators until the model is sectioned the way you want it.

Autodesk CEO Carl Bass Steps Down, Spending More Time With His Robots

This is right out of the blue. As of today, Carl Bass is no longer CEO of Autodesk. His 10-year stint as the San Fransisco-based company’s leader ends after transitioning the company to the cloud and subscription based product offerings, launching an open hardware platform, overseeing 30+ acquisitions and building Pier 9 workshop to help drive and nurture the passion behind it all.

Back in 2006 when Carl took over as CEO of Autodesk, he was named by then-CEO Carol Bartz as her replacement. Carl’s departure sees no new CEO named. Only that day-to-day operations will be overseen by Amar Hanspal, Senior Vice President and Chief Product Officer, and Andrew Anagnost, Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer, as interim Co-chief Executive Officers. This may seem odd, but was a decision reached by the Autodesk board of directors, on which Carl will still be serving with a nomination for re-election to the board at the 2017 annual meeting of shareholders.

Time to end this chapter & write next. Proud of what we’ve done together @autodesk in great hands, strong position https://t.co/gRXy0YWWGj

— Carl Bass (@carlbass) February 7, 2017

A letter to employees was published on Autodesk’s In the Fold blog, where Carl thanked everyone from Mrs. Bartz and shareholders to partners, customers and employees. He left everyone with the few words you may have heard him mention over the years, words he used to describe Autodesk and, I think if you look deeper, his own role in what they achieved.

“When I first became CEO, people asked how I wanted to define Autodesk and I often answered somewhat cryptically, ‘great, good and important.’ In my mind, great companies are defined, first and foremost, by their financial performance. Good companies are defined by their values and culture and how they treat their employees, their customers and the communities in which they do business. And important companies make a real difference in the world.”

He left a lot to the imagination with no detail of his plans from this day on, except to imply he’ll be spending plenty of time at his workshop in Berkeley, California. I don’t quite blame him.

“I am not leaving to spend more time with my family—that presumes my family wants to spend more time with me. I will, however, be spending more time in my shop with my robots. I also have some other plans and will have more to say on what I’m doing in the next few months.”

Al, Rita, looks like we’ll have to find another CEO for 2AM drinks in Vegas.

Had a blast at #AU2016 with @alistardean @martynday @joshmings and @carlbass #titos thanks fellas! What's your favorite AU moment? http://pic.twitter.com/KfbUT2m37A

Tips and Tricks for using Autodesk Advance Steel from AU2016 (Part II)

In my last post I summarized some of the Advance Steel tips for modeling that I covered during my class at Autodesk University last fall. This post picks up where that one left off and describes the software features Advance Steel has for helping you create and manage documentation more effectively.

Here we go!

1. Getting access to your customized templates

You can easily switch between templates delivered out of the box when installing Advance Steel (from the Advance branch) and templates from the User branch (which contains your customized templates) with the “User” icon located at the top of the palette. The same behavior applies for the drawing styles, drawing processes and BOM templates tool palettes.

2. Increasing column size on anchor bolt plan

You can get details bigger on your anchor bolt plan by modifying the view scale and changing the clipping values along X and Y. This makes anchor plan drawings easier to read, and ensures steel details are more practical with enlarged information for the columns shape and orientation, but also the base plates layout.

3. Finding information on used prototypes

Drawing prototypes are blank drawing sheets that are used to create the shop drawings and general arrangement drawings. An easy way to find which prototype has been used for a drawing is to look on the Document Manager, the information is available in the “Prototype” column.

4. Customizing shop drawing file name

When creating the shop drawings, it is a good practice to use a drawing process which will step through all of the selected objects, selects a suitable drawing style, creates the shop drawing of the object, and moves on to the next object. In this way many drawings of many objects can be created quickly and easily. The drawing process manager offers the possibility to customize the shop drawing name according to your needs.

5. Creating a bill-of-material based on a query

You can create a query (e.g. search for Advance Steel objects which model role is “Column”) and by saving it, the query will become available in the Project Explorer so that you can run it at any time. What is great is that you can use this query to generate a BOM only for elements selected by this query.
