A kind of Archicad ambassador too – you saw her, you knew the software behind. But then there is a long slide on a snake back to: ‘drawings should look like this and that.’ Why can’t we get rid of the drawing? Anyway, looking at Kate, I feel that we’d come a long way. but then, had we? All of our necks.

I’ve been known for criticizing Autodesk for many years and people tend to brush it off as ‘sour grapes’ – me being jealous that they’ve beaten Graphisoft’s ArchiCAD into ground – the current software of my choice. On the lines of any BIM is better than CAD and any CAD is better than hand drawing?

Traditionally, a value that was represented on a drawing may not correctly corresponded with the value within the specification simply due to a ‘typo’ An example being where a ’60 minute fire door’ has been recorded on the drawing but has been recorded as ’90 minutes fire rating’ within the specification.

In my experience, those AEC practitioners, that (for whatever reason) do decide to ‘suddenly’ get familiar with ‘a’ BIM originating software will always prefer the full software to a dumbed down viewer and will learn to use the ‘real’ thing as opposed to the somewhat idiot-proof substitute.

In the end, they are ‘just’ a software provider, successful at what they are doing, why can’t I just let them be. My biggest problem is not that Revit is a ‘dog of a software’. Autodesk has sewn up the HK market. The global AEC too. What is my problem with Autodesk? Their foot soldiers are pretty agreeable people world-wide.

The contrast of texture is a method that draws attention to a particular point or place of a design by the texture. Visual weight is the property that gives elements in a design an ability to draw attention. Whereas if an element has a high visual weight that means that this element has the probability of drawing eyes towards it.
