Because of the demand for Revit training, Johnson County Community College is planning a summer Revit Architecture class. If you are interested, I would suggest contacting Tom Hughes thughes at jccc dot edu for more details.

BIM that Works blog

A friend of mine has created a new blog that I believe is worth reading. It's call BIMworx.

Cotent Creation Contest - Turbo Squid

Contest Details

The Revit Family Contest will run until March 31, 2009.

Prizes will be awarded in three categories:
Individual/Freelancer - Professionals submitting their personal creations
Corporate - Submissions on behalf of a company or other entity
Student - High school, university, or community college students
1st, 2nd, and 3rd prizes will be awarded in each category:
1st prize: $2500
2nd prize: $1000
3rd prize: $500

All nine winners will get promotion on TurboSquid and a TurboSquid T-shirt.

You may submit as many entries as you like, but you must fill out a separate Revit Contest Entry Form for each entry. Entries can be interior, exterior, MEP, or any other kind of Revit design. TurboSquid reserves the right to use images entered in promotions of the contest. TurboSquid also reserves the right to eliminate one or more categories if insufficient entries have been received.

Entries will be judged on three criteria:
Quality of design (aesthetics, structural)
Number of published Revit families used in scene
Quality of published Revit families used in scene (correct flexing and parameterization)
Although you should strive to represent your entry as well as possible in the images you submit, the project does not have to be rendered. Entries will be judged on the quality of scene as viewed in hidden line drawings.
