I was trying to resolve how to make a 360 panorama in Simlab Composer 8 pro, as shown in this video and went back to the article Take Your Designs to a New Level with 360 3D and it mentioned 360Player.io, which I have not come across before, so I had to quickly test it.

In the last article Revit links- Relative & URL I was looking at linking to data with URL’s which is either a linkage to an external file or a web page. In one video the gentleman was showing Revit links to manufacturers web pages, which is useful in the construction phase of a project. If

I’ve been messing around Revit URL parameters. The thinking goes thusly: If I’m on a mobile device, I can scan a QR code for URL to take me to……, but what if I’m on my desktop and want to follow a link? I dont want to go to the hassle of scanning a QR code,

In the previous post 3D QR code attempt 2 I succeeded in getting a QR code into Revit and was able to scan it there & also export to 3D PDF to scan there too. Unfortunately the process that was used required using an Autodesk free trial (30 day) programme Formit for conversion from TinkerCad

First, I’d like to stand corrected regarding a closing comment I made in the previous post on this subject, Trying to get 3D QR code in Revit/3DPDF, “The QR codes are sometimes referred as 3D codes as there is an X, Y and colour dimension (some marketing idiot obviously).” I found this article that discusses

I first wrote an article about Bar codes & QR codes QR Codes and testing quite a while back. I also played with putting Barcodes onto Room Data sheets so that the Room ID could be scanned. I’ve just purchased a Label Maker. I was looking in a Stationary shop and came across a whole

The first process I did Architectural Colour Schedule in Excel used VLookup() to lookup a table on a separate sheet, but it did not show you the choice of selections. This time I want to be able, when looking up a room finish, to see what the selections are, so that I can choose an
