What I think Autodesk needs to do for the industry and certifications

Autodesk is getting into the training and support business. And they have a unique position being tied into so many platforms they could do a great deal of  good to conforming data for the AEC industry which enhancing their BIM 360 Platform.

Focusing on Autodesk software and how to manage small parts of BIG data in corresponding software effectively and having teams establishing the Autodesk standard for integration, monitoring through the BIM 360 platform and other data. Requiring x number of modules to be a User of the software, or a professional in the software then a manager of x number of platforms. Use data on firms and how they operate to take hints as to which modules are pertinent to greater and greater certifications. Publish this data as open-source data (anonymized for those not willing to have the data tied to them)

Using the US as an example - use the NCS for view/data management in AutoCAD and Revit so those data platforms remain compatible as AutoCAD is phased out. For the AEC- Build data management platforms into Revit, AutoCAD, Infraworks, Whatever is replacing Civil 3D, etc and the corresponding data management and monitoring data across aggregators into BIM 360. This should set targets in Quantum using ML and AI to tease the data out from stages in projects to begin creating an actual measure


Create an "Autodesk certification" based on accepted modules like the Microsoft MCSE certification. This should include training (Which Autodesk is breaking into) and an acceptable number of modules from sub areas... Like building up characters along skill paths in games.

Powerpoint countdown and current time in slides VBA

Add text fields- this VBA searches through the objects in the first frame until it finds " " in the text some where, truncates everything from and to the right and replaces it with an active countdown timer or current time in the box. Refreshes every 500ms with a prtsafe call so it doesn't bog down the CPU. Add a slide advance to start the next slide and begin automated slide advancement. Attribute VB_Name = "Countdown" Private Declare PtrSafe Function WaitMessage Lib "user32" () As Long Public Sub Wait ( Seconds As Double ) ''non cpu-intensive wait timer '' https://stackoverflow.com/questions/57268161/sleep-wait-timer-in-powerpoint-vba-thats-not-cpu-intensive Dim endtime As Double endtime = DateTime.Timer + Seconds Do WaitMessage DoEvents Loop While DateTime.Timer < endtime End Sub Sub Countdown_from_Start () Dim Time As Date Dim Count As ...

Revit area plans adding new types and references (Gross and rentable)

Image
Note to self: Add additional (duplicate) gross area and net area schemed under Area Plans And Area schemes... Really counter-intuitive place to put this instead of say...  Area Plans> New Type> Edit Type (ADD) or Create an area plan, then Go to Properties, Edit Type and Duplicate... Always seem to forget this one! 2015-10-16-And for the calculation type... To update: this also applies to Revit as well as LT- The gross calculations cannot be overridden, however the 'rentable' comes in various flavors... From AD Revit help: Applies to Revit LT 2015 Rules are determined by one type of space bordering another space. The following table shows area measurement rules. To find the appropriate measurement rule, find the selected Area Type and the corresponding Bordering Area Type. Gross Building Area Scheme Types Gross Building Area Scheme Types Area Type Selected Bordering Area Type Measurement Rule Gross Building Area Gross Buil...
