Let's stop talking about #BIM standards for a bit and start talking about #data standards, shall we?

[J.Merlan @GameChangist]

@_johnegan Not a particularly in-depth post, but thought I'd share nonetheless: https://t.co/HzT54sMFMI

I will personally volunteer my time to develop a platform to crowdsource a #BIM standard as a community. Anyone reading this, feel free to reach out and we can make this a reality.

[J.Merlan @GameChangist]

@_johnegan Absolutely agree that standards should not cost a dime. Over 3 years ago I blogged about this concept as I pitched the concept of a crowdsourced Revit standard. Although this was laser-focused on developing shared parameters, we can have a similar approach for a #BIM standards.

@apertedesign Do you recommend that design teams model at this level of detail?

[J.Merlan @GameChangist]

@LukeJohnston81 @BILTevent @ChrisJNeedham @LukeJohnston81 Augmented reality pole planning?

@E_L_Pol @markboulton I agree with you, but think about it this way... Consider the positive effect on the environment if we to eliminate thousands of commuters from companies like @Google, @facebook, and @Microsoft. That is more important than human interaction in the workplace in my opinion.

[J.Merlan @GameChangist]

@E_L_Pol @markboulton The future of #VR will help with the of lack of "face to face" interactions.

[J.Merlan @GameChangist]

@m_bolpagni Emails need to be phased out in my opinion. They create silos, produce #digitalwaste, and are not suitable for project coordination. I have a concept to fix this... The hard part is assembling a team to execute.

@SG_MontanaBound @Twiceroadsfool 2019 currently has multiple builds as well. Maybe one easy way to test whether or not this is the issue is detach the arch model from central, audit, then save it. Then try reloading the link and see if the issue is resolved.

@Gytaco @bondbryanBIM @AndyBoutle @JMunkley1986 @CaseyRutland @autodesk True or false: Revit in fact does support IFC. The real issue is the way data is stored in RVTs. Since every parameter is unique and has it's own fingerprint (GUID) it is impossible to map parameters to properties without the users putting in the effort.

@anthonyhauck @HyparAEC @AckerleyMark I'll see what we can do about a live stream. Stay tuned!

[J.Merlan @GameChangist]

@Nicklas_Oest @avelezsosa @tsolsen We could actually build this functionality into @OpenRFA. It would be great to have you join the discussions on https://t.co/HCWwAEMyNF and help us conceptualize more #IFC features.

[J.Merlan @GameChangist]

@StewartGH1970 @liccle_em @avelezsosa @tsolsen @Nicklas_Oest @OpenRFA @avelezsosa We exchanged messages on LinkedIn in 2017 discussing a standard set of shared parameters and IFC mapping table. Please reach out if you're interested in working together on this. Lots of improvements on the 2019 roadmap including a REST API: https://t.co/AdoDybx1Ap

[J.Merlan @GameChangist]

Pardon me while I remain skeptical about your conventional systems.

@m_bolpagni @BIM4GIB @lukeyjohnson @DynamoBIM @BILTevent @UKDynUG @dynamo_ita @RuiGavina_BIM @LivingRoomer1 @lefich @MikeHudsonArchi @ThatBIMthing @radugidei @albertotono3 @AaronPArch Since we are on the topic of @DynamoBIM and security, perhaps the blog that I wrote over a year ago might be of some interest: https://t.co/XCwbUleWQn

@UNIFILabs "Maybe you drove your bed to work today."

[J.Merlan @GameChangist]

@UNIFILabs is ready for #AU2018. Stop by A524 so we can show off what we've been working on!

[J.Merlan @GameChangist]

@Twiceroadsfool I believe the only way you can create a switch system (https://t.co/KJCZLHeYld) is to categorize it as a Lighting Device.

[J.Merlan @GameChangist]

@SG_MontanaBound Oh that's right, not all categories have that filter rule. It will work for pipes, but not fittings and accessories. My mistake.
