On October 5th and 6th I had the opportunity to get back on the campus of my Alma Mater to attend some of the 2017 Georgia Tech Digital Building Laboratory Symposium. This is an interesting event focused on entrepreneurship and some of the research that is going on with Georgia Tech’s Digital Building Laboratory. There […]
We’ve all been there. We have to create our plans but our floorplan in our working view is too large at the desired scale for a sheet. The most common solution is to break the floorplan up into multiple views or plans. Of course, there is more than one way to accomplish this break-up. You can […]
Our last post on the PES BIM Guiding Principles discusses one of the most valuable aspects of the BIM process: leveraging data. While adding value to the design team, modeling as it will be constructed and modeling to accommodate change swiftly are all deeply valuable for us and our clients, the fourth principle, leveraging data […]
We’ve come to the third installment of our four-part series exploring the PES BIM guiding principles. We’ve already covered adding value to the design team and model as it will be constructed. We try to add value to the design team by being excellent communicators and experts in BIM tools and processes. You can read […]
We’re constantly working to improve our BIM processes and Revit models. We never sit still and part of that process is updating our families. The actual updates are handled by our Power User Group (PUG) but our entire production team needs to be familiar with updating the revised families at their individual workstations. Lost? Let’s […]
We’re continuing our posts on the BIM principles with our second principle, Model As It Will Be Constructed. Last month, we discussed adding value to the design team. You can review that article here. Another way we can add value is to model buildings as they will actually be constructed. We can be better engineers, […]
Do you struggle with the way lines are displayed in plan? Maybe some are dashed when they shouldn’t be dashed and solid when they should be dashed. Maybe your slab edges are showing more lines than they should. We’ve got great news! You’re just a few short clicks away from having your plan look exactly […]
Making a commitment to become industry leaders in BIM is not a light responsibility. Everyday is a new opportunity to learn and grow. After all, BIM changes and grows every minute. We have established four principles to guide our efforts. You can review them by reading out our introductory post here. In summary, they are: […]
One of our main reasons and goals when working with worksets is to improve the performance of our models. For this reason, they become increasingly important and it becomes necessary to master using worksets correctly. First, let’s make sure you understand what a workset is. Worksets can be a great tool to help manage your […]
It’s only natural that we reflect on our year when it nears a close. Our PES family has had another amazing year of growth and exciting accomplishments and we’d like to share a few highlights with you. Arguably the most exciting news is the growth of our team: we’ve added six new engineers to our […]
