From AutoCAD to ArchiCAD - Step 3: Data Migration
Migrating data involves translating a vast amount of information from one system to another. The challenge isn't in the translation itself-Archicad excels in this area-but in managing the volume, type, and representation of data.
1. Amount of Data: Not every project needs to be converted immediately. Start with mission-critical files and reference projects like detail libraries. Pick a few key projects to test the waters and refine the process.

Episode 50: How to structure Microsoft Teams for your Architecture Firm.
An important reason sketchup is 'better' for initial design than revit is because the learning curve to fluency is more easily achieved with it ... allowing users to 'get the tool out of the way' sooner. Revit is a grand piano: it takes more practice/focus and, by the time fluency arrives, an operator is able to play elaborate orchestral pieces with it ... and usually prefers to. In such a metaphor, sketchup is more a harmonica. Consider this: when a pencil is in your hands, you think about what the next line REPRESENTS without any thought of how to make that line. no CAD tool is as direct, natural, & effortless as a pencil and, to some ways of thinking, the less a tool preoccupies the act of mark-making, the more spontaneous and free-thinking the mark-maker can be.

Very insightful topic, thanks for posting. What remote desktop application do you recommend?
We use the default remote desktop connection app built within windows, although we configure a bunch of security protocols to make it secure.
Great episode. Keep it up
360p in 2023.... on 3d modeling software video...
Mac at home and Windows at work? 😭😭😭 thanks guys great video
I don’t understand why a channel for each phase is any benefit. Maybe actually trying to use Teams the way AEC would use it could help rather than showing a completely sterile environment showing people how to use Teams as a more complicated file server. You showing your own internal teams later on is great, but you’re using it in a very standard corporate structure of some basic departments of which there is no shortage of UA-cam videos and webinars showing best practices for that. We are designing and managing hundreds of projects per year and I don’t get the feeling you understand the level of complexity we face trying to manage and organize. I don’t mean to be a negative Nancy, because there is an absolute need for AEC firms to embrace the cloud and I appreciate the effort. Maybe working with architects to do a combo webinar/case study where you have industry professionals show how they have incorporated these tools into their practice.
thnaks for the video. I am rolling out teams for our firm and was wondering the best practice for managing project communication, and your points in the video are well understood. thanks, Tim
I am game change with "Powerpoint".
I have little to no knowledge of Sketchup, but as someone who works full time in the AEC world, it’s all about Revit.
Very interesting how your thought process works on improving workflow.
🤷 p̲r̲o̲m̲o̲s̲m̲
As an operations manager/BIM manager of a 30ish person firm, we only upgrade every 2 years for our typical projects and usually after a main patch, not just a hotfix. Depending on your harddrive size, having 4 years of Revit versions will reduce storage on your SSD and cause confusion with the staff. Upgrading every year is too disruptive unless there's killer time saving feature we must have (like the path of travel command in 2022) that's useful for life safety plans. Training would be required for this feature. In a healthy 25+ person firm, it's super beneficial to have an in office BIM Manager. I can't stress this enough. That person would be responsible for leading testing, implementation, standards update, training that is specific to your company's workflow. Firms that refuse to have one because they don't see the value makes me want to pull my hair out. They're worth their weight in gold and will easily pay for themselves with the increase in firmwide performance.
Also remember that when you start a BIM project with consultants, everyone consultant using Revit should be on the same year. If it needs to be upgraded, every consultant would need to upgrade if the project is a large project and takes a few years to complete. For the most part, I would not recommend upgrading those projects because it's working already, let the cycle take it's course. Otherwise, it's just adding potential new problems that's not part of the project contract and reducing everyone's project profitability. If you're using BIM360 as the collaboration tool, the process is easier because you can upgrade on BIM360 but it still requires coordination and people spending man hours on this. Most of the time, it's not worth the time.
I didn't know that Edward Snowden was into architecture
lmao
Try BricsCAD, as intuitive as Sketchup for solud modeling, can document full BIM data model, can import both skp and rvt and rfa files by drag and drop and all if this in olg trusty DWG format, full cad, full programming api, full bim
We’re not saying one is better than the other. But please don’t use Mac 😂
please revit for mac!! please
This review does NOT include M1 Macs!! It is dated Jan 2021 but not even a mention of M1s??
😍😍💯😘!!! Promotion that works - Promo'SM !
Revit not know for speed? Race me dude.
Revit model are ugly as fk. Cannot show client directly. Only pallel projection view. Model are like kid drawing.
Good stuff. I'm adept in Sketchup but I wouldnt shrug off Revit. If youre a student looking into an architecture/archviz career, like I am, it's pretty clear that most firms require Revit as a prerequisite, while Sketchup is regarded as an additional bonus skill.
He forgot to mention one single best solution to the problem - just use a decent Windows laptop and never approach macs in your life. Trust me, it will save you lots of nerves, actually.
Nice video
That was a great video. Basic and informative. Exactly what I needed to hear. I bought a top spec MacBook Pro laptop in 2019 thinking it would be more than perfect for me for at least 5-8 years. Didn’t realise all construction companies predominantly use revit, bluebeam etc… all windows. I’ve been trying to make mine work but I think I’ve hit a brick wall. Hearing old mate say parallels is 3 and boot camp is 5, that pretty much sums up what I didn’t want to admit. I was going to get a high end external graphics card but I think I’ll just get a dedicated windows laptop. Thank you for the video
Actually, bootcamp is the most efficient way, but this way you might end up running Windows 100% of time. Not bad, actually, considering that you have nice Apple hardware. So, why not use your MBP 2019 in 100% Windows mode and enjoy it? The problem is as you try to find some Windows laptop to replace a macbook, you will never find same design, quality and service for a similar Windows device.
most useless video I've ever watched idgaf about your life story you didnt answer the question
which audio/video apparatus are you using to record? The output is really commendable
this was so helpful
Summary: you CAN'T run Revit on M1 chips as of now
Wrong.
@@miket1899 yeah...it's been 8 months buddy
I actually appreciated the different points of view as I’ve been trying to figure out whether it’s worth keeping/getting a new Mac in regards to using Revit. Thanks.
These guys are fuckin idiots download windows on your Mac ,
Omg terrible video
Come to the point. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
