What's up with IFC 2x4

I was surprised to see that the development of IFC is really still continuing. I had started to feel like the whole thing was dying a slow painful death. I checked the IAI's Building Smart web site and found an IFC Map Roadmap. Looks like things are progressing and we may see the new version as early as this year (which there isn't a lot left of). My hope is that it is incorporated into the 2012 releases of Autodesk products and we see a significant gains.

Revit Family Book

I have had this book on Revit families written by Shawn Zirbes for months and recently had hours to burn on a plane. 


I finally read it. 


It turns out to be quite a good resource and covered a wide range of topics all in one small package. I recommend this book to anyone interested in learning more about the mechanics and management of Revit families. Click this link to purchase Revit 2010 Family Standards and Best Practices.


Nice job Shawn.
