Do you blog? Well I have just been fortunate enough to get a new laptop, a Dell Precision M4500! So in the process of downloading and installing some of my regular web apps….I realised that Microsoft have introduced LIve Writer 2011. Well worth installing from what I have seen so far, it can be downloaded from here.

I’ve had a couple of questions with regards to where you get the Revit 2011 Subscription Advantage pack from, once its released. As always this is from the Autodesk Subscription Centre. If you are on Subscription you should have been provided with login details to the site where you will be able to see your product entitlement and the listed subscription tools available to you.
Got an email from Matt Jezyk and Lira Nikolovska from Autodesk today about a forthcoming event you may be interested in. It a series of workshops at the upcoming ACADIA conference in New York City, scheduled October 18-20th 2010. The Summary of the event is below:-
The 3-day Conceptual Design workshop will explore the new Revit conceptual design workflows, specifically parametric modelling and performative design using Autodesk® Revit®. The first two days of the workshop will focus on the ins and outs of the new form making and manipulation tools including creation of parametric rigs to drive and modify form, surface panelization, reporting parameters and adaptive components. The second part of the workshop will focus on analysis applied early into the design process (conceptual energy analysis, solar radiation, use of structural analysis plug-ins), and will also provide overview of API features such as Analysis Visualization Framework and Dynamic Updating.
More details can be found here…

If you are in and around New York at that time, you may want to consider signing up, especially if you want to understand Revits conceptual tools much better.
My colleague and friend, William Lopez Campo has finally decided to unleash a blog on us. You may well remember William from last years AU 2009 design slam, he was also the winner for the Berlin design slam with this little beauty…
A quick chat with William today and this is his vision for the blog…
“I’m hoping to capture some of those little developments I start but never finish, like the Inverse Kinematics application in Revit, or some scripting ideas that never progressed. Hopefully the comments and feedback will keep me going and I may get help to go past the tricky bits where I get stuck or inspire other explorations.”
Be sure to check out his blog at http://undernda.blogspot.com/
I promise you, there will be some high level stuff here! Welcome William, to the world of blogging. :-)
As noted on Steve Staffords blog, the spring issue of AUGI | AEC EDGE is out. Some great content in this issue and look out for an article by a chap called “Light” who claims he knows a thing or two about Revit. :-)
