Fordify First Look - 4D Simulation plugin for Revit [AECTech] 09/06/2020

Built upon our previous work, “Construction Simulation in 9 minutes”, we developed a Revit plugin to resolve some of the main issues faced previously that made deployment seem unfeasible.

Fordify was developed as a primer for 4D/ 5D BIM workflows, in hopes to improve existing workflows between Revit & Navisworks.

Here's the first look at Fordify!
Do indicate your interests for official release as well.

AECTech's Dynamo Package v1.0 - AEC TECHY 29/03/2020

Finally, we've released AECTech's custom Dynamo Package!

Download link: http://aectechy.com/aectech-dynamo-package/

We've included exciting functions such as Excel Visualization, Dialux data integration, and Computer Vision functions!! The team has set-up a few interesting workflows to help you jumpstart with the package usage. Do check it out!

Workflow guide link: http://aectechy.com/aectechs-dynamo-package-guide/

This package is always a Work-In-Progress (WIP), if there’s any feedback or functions you’d find useful, do leave a feedback or DM us !!

Do share the news with all the BIMsters you know :) Enojoy everyone!!

Photos from Aectech's post 28/03/2020

That's a wrap! Day 2 of workshop conduct at SIT completed!

The session was an absolute blast, and especially more hearing commendations from the participants themselves.

The workshop was tailored to MEP applications for students from the Building Services Program, and designed to help participants learn by building practical projects during lab sessions they can find relevance to as an MEP Engineer. The following were the topics covered by the 2-day conduct, 3 hours each:

* Overview of Computational BIM
* Dynamo fundamentals
* (Lab 1) Your First Dynamo graph – MEP length take-off to Excel
* Intro to Geometries
* (Lab 2) Sort & Label lightings
* (Lab 3) Sectional Views in Dynamo
* Introduction to Generative Design Concepts

If Dynamo (or Computational BIM in general) workshops are of interest to you or your organization, do drop me a DM and we can discuss on customized workshop conducts for your business needs !

Canny Edge Detection in Dynamo 09/12/2019

While developing Computer Vision functions in our custom Dynamo package, I was reminded of the benefits that Visual programming brings to users.

When I stumbled into OpenCV in python at the beginning, I was simply coding along with tutorials… not knowing the significance of most input variables.

Now, using Dynamo as a Visual Programming platform, users can simply use a number slider to help us quickly grasp an intuition of each input variable. Which then allow users to determine suitable values for each!
