Subscribe to the Design X Technology newsletter to get weekly tips/advice to stay current in the AEC and Design industry! This week I wanted to build…

Hey all, I hope you’re having a great week and doing well! This week’s a bit different for me. I’m currently down in Disney World with my wife and kids for their spring break, fully in “dad mode,” riding rides, eating way too much, fitting in a margarita/beer when I can and trying to stay…

What we call “BIM” today is the result of decades of gradual change: technological, procedural, and cultural. Each era brought its own definition, priorities, and terminology. This is why we often see different definitions of BIM. But BIM today is less about software and more about information management. BIM in the 1990s In the 1990s,…

If you’re confused, don’t worry, we all need some time to be familiar with all these new names. In short, this feature is available in Docs. Forma Board is a useful feature…

Back in the 2000s, moving from 2D drafting to 3D modeling felt like a genuine superpower. Back then, the value proposition was simple. A 3D model helped people understand a design better. It reduced drawing errors. It made coordination easier. It was visual, practical, and immediately useful. It solved real, immediate problems on the drawing…
