Recently Mayur Mistry from Engineering ArchiTECHure asked me to join him for a YouTube livestream. Mayur often holds his interviews over the weekend, but he very kindly accommodated my schedule and held the session during the week. So while it was "live", it wasn't at the usual time for Mayur's subscribers and the discussion remained […]

The Autodesk Tandem team has just launched their Customer Research Program. This is the perfect way to engage with the Tandem team and let them know what features you might need from your future digital twin infrastructure. In particular, if you're interested in seeing features from Project Dasher show up inside Tandem – via what […]

I've been spending quite a bit of time exploring how Project Dasher might make use of the platform capabilities of Autodesk Tandem. This is just one effort connecting the two projects, and the one I tend to think of as "Tandem inside Dasher": the Tandem team is looking what makes sense in terms of "Dasher […]

One more feature inspired by Project Dasher has made its way into the Forge viewer's Data Visualization Extension (Project Hyperion): streamlines. This is something I've talked about a few times in the past, and I'm happy to see it make its way into the Forge platform. Streamlines are a great mechanism for indicating movement – […]

I've finally found the time to view the main information from the recent Autodesk University event, and thought it worth highlighting what I consider to be some of the "big ticket" items, especially from my own – somewhat Forge- and digital twin-centric – perspective. First-up, Forge was everywhere in the keynotes. If it wasn't previously […]

While I was away on vacation I received the news that the excellent learnforge.autodesk.io website – a great resource for learning how to develop software that uses Autodesk Forge – has been translated into Japanese, Traditional Chinese, and Simplified Chinese. This will be of great use to customers and would-be Forge developers who are keen […]

While I'm unlikely to be present for much of next week's Autodesk University event – all being well I'll be in Sardinia – I have been feeling the excitement mount ahead of it. Mainly from attending the Forge Hackathon, which is now nearing it's climax. The event kicked off with a really interesting event held […]

I mentioned recently that I've been working on updating Project Dasher's use of 3rd party components, and that I had some learnings to share. We started the Forge-based version of Dasher in 2016, and (much to my shame) some of the components had stayed at more-or-less the version available at that time, largely due to […]

Other that my regular foolings-around with ancient tech, I feel like I've been neglecting this blog in recent weeks. That's all about to change, though, as we enter the busy period leading up to Autodesk University 2021. For one I have some interesting learnings I thought I'd share from some of the foundational work I've […]

Over the last week I've been heads-down on core Dasher work, but with very little visible result. Here's why. Early last week I received an email telling me that it was time to dig into Dasher's use of 3rd party components and make sure there weren't any security issues. (This isn't something unusual – all […]
