RE: Digital Engineering – The Construction Revolution
Great post. I work in Revit 3D and use BIM methodolgies as an UX Designer. We've even used Revit and the Enscape 3D plugin to push into Virtual Reality. It's great being in this in this Frontier space, but it does overwhelm a lot of people as well. I look forward to more post about your experiences like this.
@nwjordan its great to see BIM practioners on steem :) Revit and Enscape 3D are great tools, how has your experience been with transferring project models into VR?
As you say - it does overwhelm people but I feel if we are complacement and appease the learning curve of some, we will suffer from stagnation and digital transformation. I will say in addition to these advancements, more attention needs to be focused on delivering tools and training for easy adoption. I'll be posting a few more BIM / digital construction related entries soon :)
The transfer has been somewhat easy, but that was more so when I had to think more so about the how things looked in the VR environment. We're not to the level using outside of Marketing purposes yet and with the heavy front loaded of some of these environments or models clients have are difficult time either seeing the effort or value of the VR or think immediately the project is done despite needing more Construction and MEP information.
It's a bit of a double edge sword our firm is still trying to balance. Luckily as a whole we are transfer from CAD to Revit & BIM Methodologies.
Yeah I really like the holisitic approach to BIM, it takes a lot of planning to go between workflows. I totally agree about the value of VR, and often it's going to be used in stakeholder engagement and marketing imo.
