The CADDle Call

Todd Rogers, Senior Associate at Walter P. Moore & an expert in the Civil/GIS/BIM world, is back with us for an honest discussion about the positives and negatives of visualization in the Civil Design world. Listen in to learn why visualization is important and the benefits of using it over traditional plan presentations.

Robert Green, Director of Implementation at Bricsys and expert in all things CAD, walks you through the most important steps for preparing your network and systems for both upgrades and fresh installations of the software your firm uses.

We welcome back Kimberly Fuhrman, President of AUGI and a leading architectural technologist, to discuss early energy analysis and LEED when designing buildings. Specifically, we'll discuss the benefits of using the combination of Autodesk's Revit, FormIt and Insight360 software to perform multiple analyses on a project to optimize for a greener building, ensure compliance with LEED standards, and save the client money in the long-term.

This week, we continue with BIM and discuss how Revit is not the only option available today.

Today we're talking with Todd Rodgers about the uses of BIM (Building Information Modeling) in the Civil environment. Mr. Rodgers is the BIM Manager at Walter P Moore and on the Board of Directors for AUGI. Listen in as he explains why it's important to consider BIM in Civil projects and the details of implementing BIM workflows in the Civil workspace.

While there is some overlap between software resellers and technology consultants, there are also very distinct differences. In this week's podcast, we discuss the best practices for working with each one so you get the most out of your experience.

In this podcast, we discuss how Building Products Manufacturers are looking to get their products directly into the hands of architects, engineers, and contractors, and the tools they are using to ensure their products are specified in the design and bid processes as early as possible.

In this podcast, we discuss the best practices for controlling your non-CAD files (i.e., bids, specifications, reports, cut sheets, etc.) in a design/build project.

In this podcast, we discuss the Cloud world and the feasibility of using CAD in the cloud.

2D CAD is the oldest and most-widely used tool of the CAD world, but has it been left behind when it comes to development & innovation?
