In this episode, the BIMThoughts crew has a candid conversation with John Pierson, Design Technology Specialist at Parallax Team. We talk about his dynamo packages and extensions, his work building Revit add-ons and why opens source and sharing are so important to the AECO industry. We also get into a couple of rabbit holes about VWs, and open source licensing…so as you can see this episode has something for everyone!
