As mentioned on Monday, I've been having lots of fun getting Hyperion to work inside Dasher, this week. All good preparation for the AU class I hope will be accepted for this year's conference. Right now I have sprites working, which is an important first step (and doesn't actually involve any of the more gnarly, […]

On Friday I went ahead and submitted my one and only class proposal for the all-digital Autodesk University 2021. Let's hope it gets selected. In case you're interested, here's the content of the proposal: Title: Dasher and Hyperion: using Data Visualization in a Forge viewer application Class ID: SD500020Product(s): ForgeTopics: Building Information Modeling (BIM), Building […]

As mentioned last week, this year's Symposium on Simulation for Architecture and Urban Design (SimAUD) was held on Friday and Saturday of last week (with some pre-conference workshops on the Thursday). Autodesk has supported SimAUD since its inception – in fact a number of the people who started the conference were working for Autodesk Research […]

I mentioned last week that Dynamo 2.11 allows package owners to add additional documentation for their nodes via the enhanced Documentation Browser. I decided to give it a try, and then decided to test the possibilities around automating the process. Here's the idea: the Space Analysis package comes with 15 different samples showing how to […]

The Forge viewer team is seeking to hire a San Francisco-based Senior Product Owner for Project Hyperion, the technology being made available as the Data Visualization Extension. (If you're not familiar with the term Product Owner then in fairness you're probably not a good fit for this position – the successful candidate will have PO […]

Last week Autodesk's Developer Advocacy and Support team organised their second Forge Accelerator where developers could prototype Digital Twins using the Forge viewer's Data Visualization Extension (codenamed Hyperion). The first of these Accelerators was back in December: while these virtual Accelerator events are currently held monthly, the Hyperion team needed some time to integrate the […]

I've just heard that the Call for Proposals for Autodesk University 2021 goes out next week on March 30th. The CFP period is short – it runs until April 30th – so it's already time to don your thinking caps and consider what topic or topics you'd like to talk about at this year's AU. […]

Next week the Finnish Association of Civil Engineers (RIL) is holding a virtual conference on the use of Artificial Intelligence in Architecture, Engineering and Construction called AI in AEC 2021. The agenda looks really compelling. These are the presentation tracks, to give you a sense for the topics covered: Data Driven Design Generative Design Impactful […]

I'm currently up in the mountains with my family, enjoying the annual school closure for the kids' "ski week". I recognise we're especially lucky, this year, given that a) Swiss ski resorts are open and b) our kids are at school physically rather than remotely. Spring seems to be hitting early, this year, but even […]

I added a "simple" feature to Project Dasher (although it's not live just yet) the other day, that I think is worth sharing some information about – especially as from a UX perspective it's completely hidden and amounts to an Easter egg. For a particular project I've been searching through sensor data for time periods […]
