Last week, we covered the official announcement of the acquisition of Civil FX by Parametrix. Today, Sam explains a bit further not only the reason why he accepted their offer, and specifically why he did it now, in the midst of a pandemic and economic uncertainty, but also some other aspects that immediately come up as a consequence of this merger.

Will Civil FX change the way in which it’s been operating and the services it’s been providing? What are the basics of Sam’s new company, called Beyond CAD? What happens to Vision, the software that has just been chosen as a recipient of an Epic Megagrant and that will serve as a better 3D Visualization tool for engineers? Does it mean the end of this podcast, in which we talk to professionals using 3D Visualization, public outreach and VR to make civil engineering look good? Enjoy the episode and find out all the answers to the previous questions.
