@for59j54 @OakleyCAD @DigiNeanderthal @StewartGH1970 The AVANTI sub title was 'take what we know and make it work'. Avanti was used to demonstrate that what we developed on the Heathrow Express and Terminal 5 project would work for any type or size of project. The measured results of the project were published in BSI/CPI BIP2207.

@a_shilliday @for59j54 @AshleyBIM And don't even get me started on file naming!

[Mervyn Richards @RichardsMervyn]

@for59j54 @AshleyBIM Totally agree John. Everybody trying to fix something that was not bust. The CDE as a process was tested for over ten years and it worked, that's why it became a BS, BS1192-2007 and updated in 2016. Those goals are more important today. Cut waste, deliver on time, reduce carbon.

@for59j54 @NigelPDavies It was the same with Lead Supplier, everybody understood that. Similar for subcontractor and supply chain I think.

[Mervyn Richards @RichardsMervyn]

@for59j54 So very true John. The other big problem is OIR, clients do not seem to understand why they need new buildings or refurbishment. perhaps we need to get back to the 'BRIEF' or 'ER' clients/employers requirements.

@Mike_Ford_BIM mike should Nima be non-capitalized as nima?

[Mervyn Richards @RichardsMervyn]

@bondbryanBIM @KevinJFielding I think a similar statement was made in 1994/5 when AutoCAD/Autodesk proposed the schema that became IFC when it floated the International Alliance for Interoperability, which became BuildingSmart. Then came Revit.

@Alex00762690 Is the building sliding down the hill?

[Mervyn Richards @RichardsMervyn]

@MrWithersAHT Brilliant, such is life.

[Mervyn Richards @RichardsMervyn]

@for59j54 John of course its real, its on social media, you know you can trust it!?!?!?

[Mervyn Richards @RichardsMervyn]

@MikeHudsonArchi it's because they can, not because its needed.

[Mervyn Richards @RichardsMervyn]

@for59j54 Did it also require? a good information requirement (IR)?

[Mervyn Richards @RichardsMervyn]

@ThatBIMthing I wonder how much it is for a LOD 200 model would cost.£1.95???

[Mervyn Richards @RichardsMervyn]

@ikeough Did you mean Revit, AutoCad, Rhino and Excel

[Mervyn Richards @RichardsMervyn]

@for59j54 I find rubber gloves and soap solves the later, it may work on the first but no evidence this is true.

[Mervyn Richards @RichardsMervyn]

@NigelPDavies Have taken your two day LFT yet???

[Mervyn Richards @RichardsMervyn]

@a_shilliday @thebimguru @Studio_Bim Red Lining drawings is better than no check at all. The only thing is if you generate drawings from models and then check if there is an error on one drawing all should be rejected. A check Review and Approve is required when sharing any data, either digital or analogue.

@thebimguru @Just_Super @UKBIMAlliance @pambhandal The term is Old BIM Expert which defines the award after my name Mervyn Richards OBE.
