Last month Fast Company published an article about an interesting project Autodesk Research has been working on for a number of years: internally the project was known as LEGOBot, but now that it's being talked about publicly it has understandably been renamed to BrickBot. BrickBot is a really cool project that's built on two core […]

One of the highlights of last weekend's AEC Hackathon in Berlin was getting to meet Michael and Keith from the Dynamo team. They'd delivered a pre-event workshop on the Friday and stayed on to tutor the many Dynamo-centric teams participating in the weekend's Hackathon. On afternoon on Saturday Keith and Michael presented an additional session […]

I've seen a few of these postings via LinkedIn, and thought it was time to post something of my own. As mentioned previously, I submitted three class proposals for this year's Autodesk University in Las Vegas. Two out of three have been accepted: the ones focused on Generative Design for AEC. I'm really excited about […]

On Sunday night I hopped back across to Birmingham airport in the UK in order to visit the Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC) in Coventry on Monday. The weather has been gorgeous in the UK for the last month or more, so everything was a little parched. That, in combination with the fact England was still […]

The call for proposals for Autodesk University 2018 has ended and people have the opportunity for vote for their favourite classes. Head on over to this page and start voting for the classes you'd like to see at AU 2018. From my side, I've submitted three different class proposals for AU 2018. I don't expect […]

I'm on the train, heading to Geneva airport for my trip across to Barcelona for the latest Forge Accelerator. It seems there's a good crowd in the room, already, so it should be a fun week. Yesterday I submitted two classes for Autodesk University 2018 in Las Vegas: I wonder what proportion of classes are […]

On Monday afternoon I flew back across to the Netherlands, this time from Bern airport. My main purpose for this trip was to attend the Symposium on Simulation for Architecture and Urban Design, or SimAUD, in Delft. I've been staying at an Airbnb a little way out of the centre of town, the advantage being […]

Yesterday I headed across to Zürich for a number of different meetings. One that I wanted to talk about on this blog is my visit to Empa, the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology, and – in particular – their NEST building. NEST is a testbed and showcase for emerging techniques in the […]

Over the last few days I've been battling with migrating Dasher 360 from using v3.2.1 of the Forge viewer to the latest & greatest at the time of writing, v4.2. Somewhere around the v4.0 release, quite a few changes were integrated into the viewer that relate to UI theming and docking panels. Some of these […]

It's been a quiet week on the blogging front, mainly because of the May 1st holiday on Tuesday, but also because I've been heads-down on projects I can't really talk much about. One thing that does seem worth sharing is an approach we've been using to take geometry from Dynamo into Revit. The project itself […]
