Practical ideas for Revit, BIM and construction technology. Built from years of shared experience.
Going back in time, there was 123D Catch and related processing engines. Basically, it was a tool that took photos and turned them into something real in 3D. There was also something called Remake. No…
There are a whole lot of paid and open source tools out there for photogrammetry (turning photos into 3D models), and it is easy to get lost. I found a very detailed post by Jesse over at We Did Stuff…
Cool! My Lumia 930 and Surface Pro 3 will be all happy now 🙂 The 123D family recently expanded to include 123D Catch and 123D Sculpt+ for the Windows Store. 123D Catch is also now available for Window…
Part of working in a BIM environment is putting together all of the little pieces that you know and turning it into a useful workflow. Do you have a 3D file, such as an FBX, that has some camera views…
Open embedded content: www.youtube.com “used to generate a branching tree structure to support overhangs in 3D printing. The results are still a work-in-progress, but usually require significantly les…
Have you ever wondered how people match real world camera movement (such as from an aerial fly over) with a 3D virtual model? Enter Autodesk MatchMover, included in various Autodesk Suites. It essenti…
For some time, I have been looking for a way to get 3D geometry from any format, make it into a nice, Revit-friendly SAT and then use it in massing or visualizations. Can Memento help me with this? An…
I rarely advertise for paid programs. In this case, the program is still useful in Trial mode, so I’ll make an exception. Basically, download the trial and install it. Then open Help and go to Geometr…
I have spent hours trying to figure out how to take actual camera locations from 123D (Photofly) and get them into Revit as ‘real’ cameras (3D views). I thought it would be cool to be able to use a re…
