[My apologies for the click-baity title. I do actually have a list of 5 cool project ideas, if you scroll down the post. So it's not completely dishonest, at least.] In the last post I mentioned a few classes you can sign up for (and that I'm directly or indirectly involved in) from the Tuesday […]

Autodesk Platform Services – the platform formerly known as Forge – has a brand new service that's soon going into beta: the AEC Cloud Information Model API. This API will allow you to access design parameters in Revit models hosted in the cloud with no need to pass by an instance Revit. The managed beta […]

The material for this year's online Autodesk DevDays is now live on YouTube. These sessions were held back in March, but now that the various products discussed have been released publicly, the information has been made available for everyone (i.e. not only covered by the Non-Disclosure Agreement signed by Autodesk Developer Network members, the famously […]

It's that time of year, where our engineering teams release the primary annual updates to our products. AutoCAD 2022 was released a couple of weeks ago, and Revit 2022 dropped yesterday.

I was inspired to write this post by a chat I had with Zachary Kron, earlier in the week. I'd been noodling on how best to support a workflow where users of the Generative Design feature in Revit 2021 can select specific solutions in a study and do something with them. The specific use-case was […]

This week has been interesting: after speculating last week about how the COVID-19 pandemic might change our design criteria – especially as it might relate to Generative Design – this week I ended up diving into a project related to exactly that. I'll share more on this in due course. In the meantime, I thought […]

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. […]

Not everyone can make it to the Forge team's annual DevCon events, so luckily they also run a set of online webinars covering similar content. Here's a brief schedule of their upcoming webinars – for more specifics, please head on over to their blog post. Note that some of these webinars are only open to […]
