AU 2008 Sessions

Registration for AU 2008 has already begun and of course I am more than a little late in posting the course listings.

Personally, I am both pleased and disappointed with the classes offered this year. I am glad that we are getting some new content. This will be my fourth AU and it seems like the majority of the classes each year are repeats. I am disappointed because there is a definite lack of Advanced classes this year and some of the "seasoned" AU speakers that have a wealth of knowledge are not speaking this year. Personally, I am not concerned Phil Read is not speaking (I hear him probably 6 days a week), but James V. from SOM has a lot of knowledge and always puts on a great class. He is just one of many.

Ok, I will get off my soapbox now. Below is the Power Track for Building Design. For me, the one class that is an absolute must is SE0404-1P Horrible Hacks. Class will be taught by Steve Mintz of Autodesk Consulting. Really bright guy and this is a class you have to attend if you are a Revit Structure user and should be on the list if you are using Architecture or MEP.

$$$ On Site Interview with some USA Steel Reinforcement Experts in Sept. 2008

$$$ On Site Interview with some USA Steel Reinforcement Experts in Sept. 2008
This came from the BIM snd Beam blog by Nicholas Manqon and Wai Chu. Very intersting opportunity for a few select individuals.

Hi All,
Our structural products team is currently searching for some USA steel reinforcement subject matter experts so that we can do some on site research and interview (3 full days on site interview + 1 day follow-up by phone/email) with them in September 2008 timeframe.
Very important: The ideal candidate should be familiar with other software programs for reinforcement detailing in USA and should have lot of experience in detailing and Reinforced Concrete design, rebar modeling, shop drawing and fabrication drawing generation.
Our team has some budget to pay the candidate for the time he will spend with us for this research and interview.
If interested, please contact wai.chu@autodesk.com and dariusz.kwolek@autodesk.com
Thank you
Wai Chu + Dariusz Kwolek

IES Plug-In Turns Free 3D Modeler into Sustainability Tool

As many of you are probably aware, IES makes a number of products to perform building analysis. IES has now created a plug-in for SketchUp that allows you to perform energy analysis at a very early stage. I haven't used or seen the product used in practice, but I believe it has a great deal of potential. For more information, I have provided a link to the CADALYST magazine article.

Revit and Green Building Studio

While it is listed as a tutorial (I disagree), the article provides an overview of the Revit and Green Building Studio. The article can be found at CADALYST where I am a contributing editor.

Is anyone using Deep Space for analytics? https://www.deepspacesync.com/
