Joe is off to RTC Europe so Greg and Willis hold the fort while he is away for this shorter episode. Greg recently got an iPhone 6s Plus before he went to Japan so this episode is about apps used in the AEC industry. If there are apps that you use that were not mentioned in this episode, send a tweet to @willislim or @joe_banks_bvn for us to discuss next episode.

New iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus comes out this week so we have a chat about what is new about the new iPhones, why even though it is a 's' model year they are still big upgrades and how smart Siri actually is.

RTC Asia has barely finished and we get the lowdown from Joe who was there to present a couple of sessions. Joe tells Greg and Willis about the sessions that he presented and what other sessions he found interesting as well as some tools that he's found useful on the show floor.

This episode Greg asks Joe some questions about elevations in Revit and how to change the line styles to more closely match what would be done in hand drawings to show depth and context. This leads into discussions about whether this is pragmatic or not and who the drawings are really for.

Joe's away this episode so Greg and Willis take the opportunity to talk about running Revit on a Mac through Boot Camp and Parallels/Fusion. Greg talks about his recent experience in getting Revit to work on a Mac and some of the gotchas to look out for.

Starting an Architectural practice can be tough. Good thing we have some hosts that have expertise in some areas that may be of assistance when thinking about starting on your own. This week we talk through the Architectural, Technology and Design Technology considerations if you are planning to start out on your own. This is part 1 of a multi-part series.
