I have a few RSS feeds that I follow, plus I go along to revit & BIM talks when they are in town. A couple of useful things have just come up that I want to tag as they are useful tools and I want to be able to refer back to them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kevin Thicket mentioned this at a BIMinNZ meeting. It was from a presentation by Enscape. Here is the article Don’t Let The Building Get In The Way Of Exploring Your Design!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The idea of this is, if you are working in Structural or MEP disciplines and you get an updated model from the Architects, you can make the Architectural Linked Model semi transparent so that you can explore the services\/structure and possible coordination issues in your model. You do it by setting up Phase Filters and Phase Materials (eg Glass- semi transparent) so you use the material properties to vary transparency of the link model. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \n
