This is a pretty cool development in CAD - basic premise is using guaranteed manifold meshes instead of Breps as the underlying object model. Quite different from most 3d kernels used in AEC.

I just released my open-source #CAD library, Manifold.

I'm looking for potential users and collaborators; perhaps the @openscad or @FreeCADNews contributors are interested?

@baersteve came across this interesting research on generating guaranteed manifold meshes and resulting boolean operations. Fascinating research - wondered if McNeel is looking at this?

A new era of #timber #architecture has arrived. From taller #wood buildings to customized freeforms, use of timber as a #construction material is driving change in the way we #design, manufacture and construct buildings. https://t.co/tPMss5qJ1N @StructureCraft_ @lucasepp

@AnthonieKramer @etroxel @otani_rob @ttinc @StructureCraft @ddkto @Oasys_Software @ArupAmericas @eng_mclare Sounds great, would definitely be interested! Count me in and thanks for the shout @AnthonieKramer 🤙

@AnthonieKramer Brutal. Anything to be done / actions to take?

[Lucas Epp @lucasepp]

@AnthonieKramer My vote is for an API-ifying of our industry built on an object-model platform (think @HyparAEC/ BHoM/@SpeckleSystems ).
An open architecture platform w/ distributed plugin dev by a robust user community, customizing for locale-specific practices/codes/design problems.

[Lucas Epp @lucasepp]

@AnthonieKramer That's 25+ different software platforms to deal with on one project (admittedly from design to build, so not typically the same company throughout) - but the same project, same 3D model.

Something needs to change.

[Lucas Epp @lucasepp]

@jmanooch @AnthonieKramer @HyparAEC @airtable Yeah needs to be something with a modern UI and built to suit the AEC vertical. Think we may be stuck with @Cosential, although not looking forward to implementing after having ditched it a few years back.

Only other options are Excel + PowerBI/Tableau, or we build our own.

[Lucas Epp @lucasepp]

OK AEC community.. there must be a CRM that doesn't suck?? Cosential, Deltek, Hubspot, Insightly, Dynamics, Salesforce... barf. Where's @HyparAEC for CRM? Any ideas?

[Lucas Epp @lucasepp]

Ok for all the hubspotters here’s the issue. the problem with most of the new CRMs is that they're all product based assuming one client and a single point of sale. that is just not AEC.

Cosential has the capabilities, but the UI... wait what UI...

@NotionHQ I'm trying to link from Notion to launch Outlook (and a specific Email) using the outlook: link protocol. However it seems on inspection of the <a href=""> block that Notion is auto-blocking an outlook: style protocol. Any chance of a fix?

[Lucas Epp @lucasepp]

@baersteve Few guys on our team would love to join!
