Late last week I received the news that an article co-written by Rhys Goldstein, Divyae Mittal and myself has been published in the RuMoer, TU Delft's periodical for the building technologist. Divyae – who is wrapping up his Master's degree at TU Delft, in spite of the CORVID-19 pandemic – reached out as his thesis […]

This post contains a "call to action" for the community and presents an opportunity for people to start using Generative Design in the context of a global pandemic. Please do read (or skip) through to the end! I've been really encouraged by the energy people have focused on helping others since the beginning of the […]

Last week I talked about an API that we've added to Dasher, allowing it to be controlled via URL parameters. I expect this to be useful when integrating Dasher into other systems – as you can control the initial view of data, such as for a particular sensor during a specific time period – but […]

After many months of hard work, the Refinery team has delivered the first official release of their Generative Design feature as part of Revit 2021. Here's the blog post describing the release. This marks the point at which generative design capabilities are first being made widely available to Revit users, directly from within the product. […]

In the last post I neglected to remind people of Kiosk Mode, a great way to see some of Dasher's features. Simply click on the filmstrip button at the bottom of Dasher's vertical toolbar and move the cursor off to the side (this just stops the button from staying highlighted when the cursor gets hidden).

After many months of effort, we now have an updated version of Project Dasher available on dasher360.com. (The project is still very much active research, so for now you're able to try it out with the model of the NEST building, accessible via the Demo button on the main page.) The major feature of this […]

Things have changed a lot at Autodesk, over the last few weeks, as they have for most people on the planet. Working from home has become the norm: for someone who works from home, anyway, it's been interesting to see the playing field levelled a little: with everyone working remotely the dynamic in meetings has […]

We've just finished celebrating the 20th anniversary of a dear friend and colleague, Clayton Hotson, joining Autodesk. We were in the same team, way back when Clayton joined, both working from our San Rafael office. Over the years we've ended up doing other things, but in the last few months have happily found ourselves back […]

For the last week or so I've been busy making sure Dasher works well with multiple themes. You can see the progress across these posts. I'm not quite ready for a full unveiling, but it should go live at some point in the next week, give or take. In the meantime, here are some screenshots […]

Despite the unfolding horror of the situation with Covid-19 – and stuff is really starting to hit the fan, here in Switzerland, with schools and non-essential commerces being closed and rumours of an enforced sequestration being considered – I'm at least getting some quality time to work on Dasher. Last week we saw how it […]
