Home - Data Streams PDG : 'via Blog this' This is much like what I want to do for my PHD- I sent a letter to these guys they are tracking the active interior aspects of the building whereas I am interested in the exterior and building envelope...   I have been thinking about embedded sensors in materials as part of a thesis should I dare attempt to venture back to college.   Where are you guys located?   My family and I am relocating to Denver, CO next month in the hopes of finding good VDC/BIM/Revit work. I am very interested in this process of data gathering and integrating it into systems- particularly in the sensors and data collection. I was thinking that a sensor powered by a capacitor or wireless energy source that was similar to RFID but with temperature/humidity/location/flexure for inside walls to help determine areas of thermal/moisture transmittance, leakage, etc… These sensors would be about the size of a quarter or dime and powered wirelessly. ...

Layer Filter Properties Dialog Box (Layer Properties Manager) | AutoCAD | Autodesk Knowledge Network : 'via Blog this' About Filtering and Sorting the List of Layers You can control which layer names are listed in the Layer Properties Manager, and sort them by name or by a property setting.

Revit nested family not hosting to "Pick primary host" option in "Stacked wall" condition- nested family floats out beyond wall to stacked wall width. The issue was resolved by hosting the nested family to a reference plan then aligning & locking the reference plane to the wall face's finish. reloading correctly shrunk up the gap between the nested family and the "Primary host"

AGA Cad's framing add-in- looks like it might be good for modular construction as well... I have a request in for price points and hopefully a trial : ) Framing Timber Walls in Revit® Model | Wood Framing Wall+ | AGACAD TOOLS4BIM : 'via Blog this'

On the Road to VDC Integration~ Geeking out over Revit and MS Access data connections... Personal breakthrough- I finally got an great connection from Revit 2015 to MS Access through a plugin called DBConnect.  I had to install the ODBCx64 drivers downloaded from Microsoft as even whn I installed the x64 version of office to go with my x64bit everythign else it insisted on rverting to teh x32 ODBC drivers: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=23734  i got from this very useful dude!~ Found this helpful Me Too 9 Answer Scottgem  replied on  January 22, 2010 MVP You can download the drivers here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=7554F536-8C28-4598-9B72-EF94E038C891&displaylang=e This file will add Access to the list of file types in the ODBC administrator. Not sure if its 32 or 64 bit. But it worked on a machine running 64bit Win 7 Hope this helps, Scott<> P.S. Pleas...
