The CADDle Call

Ken D'Amato, CEO of SmarTwin, helps guide us through using digital twins and BIM modeling concepts in the Metaverse. We'll focus on the reasons behind and benefits of modeling real world buildings and locations in the Metaverse.

We're seeing more and more construction firms wanting better financial and scheduling information from Procore data presented in a reliable way. In this episode, we discuss incorporating the concept of analytics into Procore to give you dynamic, intelligent, graphics-based dashboards and reports that can change the way your firm makes business decisions.

Point clouds are becoming more vital, particularly in the infrastructure space, and there's confusion on the best ways to generate, import, and use this type of data in projects. In this episode, Tim Yarris (AutoCAD Civil 3D Product Manager) and Ramesh Sridharan (Autodesk Infrastructure Product Manager) join us to help answer these questions on point clouds and tell us more about Autodesk's long-term planning and development goals for reality capture.

In this episode, we discuss the different types of software licenses available, including OEM, explain what they are and how they work, as well as the concept of bundling to get discounts.

Join us as we discuss service work - those projects that are focused on customizing internal workflows, standards and templates to optimize how staff gets projects done. We'll talk about how service work applies to the different sectors in the AEC world and the methodologies that work best for each sector. With many firms being short-staffed, service work can make the internal processes more efficient without burdening understaffed teams, helping firms balance workload and profit.

Communication, collaboration, and file sharing are the backbone of design projects. In this episode, we discuss a better way to control project file sharing and communication among team members without using dozens of different tools.

In this podcast episode, we discuss the Autodesk Subscription Model monopoly, why the industry bought into it (hint - fear), and if there is an effective way to get out of it.

In this episode, we discuss the impact that fluctuating material prices and delivery delays are having on construction firms. Matt DeBasio, Project Estimator at P. Agnes Construction, joins us to discuss how he addresses these problems in the real world.

We all know that Bluebeam Revu is the most popular construction software on the market today. But, did you know you could also use it for space planning and facility management? In this episode, we discuss how to use Bluebeam Revu to create a dynamic inventory of items in a room, determine how much square footage of a building is being used for a specific purpose or by a specific group, and add links to forms, drawings and other data related to space.

In this episode, we discuss how to solidly configure BIM and Autodesk Revit to help prevent mistakes and cost overruns.
