Earlier this year I started blogging also at another blog site. A smaller audience than here on Bentley Communities, but just another channel, and so far there have been readers from 64 countries.
Thank you for reading my posts!
Here is the other blog…
This youtube recording http://youtu.be/kQPxPF-lf5I is a presentation of recent research work from Bentley’s Applied Research Group.

Please see my new blog post: Goodbye LOD, Hello (again) location-specificity
I have a second blog (in addition to this one), just another way of communicating with others about topics of interest: http://dagsljus.wordpress.com/
Industry needs to begin to consider the general condition of the relationship of drawings to models..
The general condition is:
Where I’m from, trees bear fruit. A tree is an environment (a combinant environment by the way). Within that kind of environment are nodes at which things are combined and transformed in ways that make them specifically useful and close at hand. Such…
A drawing defines a location of reliability within an environment, but it leaves out the environment. So it is insufficient. A model defines an environment, but omits designating locations of reliability. So it is insufficient. Either of these on its own…
The blog post hereincludes:
Visual media. Let’s talk about it. In the design and construction professions we are familiar with the visual media commonly used: drawings and models. Of course we also understand that visual media extend beyond architecture, engineering, and construction…
I am happy to say that I am presenting on the following topic at the second annual Northwestern University Symposium on Technology for Design and Construction (August 15, 16, and 17, 2012) http://techforconstruction.com/
“Hypermodeling”
Four Hypermodel videos are on Bentley's YouTube channel:

“describe BIM in 10 words (or less)”.
I think you can describe it accurately by looking at what it delivers…

“Perhaps those who learn will become less occupied with facts and more engaged in larger questions of understanding,” she said.…
Students don't care, anymore, really, about modeling (with or without "properties") or drafting tools. They are all (nearly) commodities.Students care (as they should) about "representation". The same is true for professionals.…
I think the concept changes somewhat now. Our goal is no longer (I used to share that goal too) Construction without Drawings.It is now construction through rich communication media that puts the essential remarks and graphics of the drawings INTO the…
Hypermodeling infuses the project’s documentation into the 3D model, automatically.
After using BIM for 10 years myself I noticed it goes only half way (or less). To automate documents is one thing, but this does nothing at all, really, to improve…
simple instructions:
1. place a callout symbol on a drawing document or in a 3D model. Name the callout, in the subsequent dialog box.
2. Drag and drop the named callout from the project explorer list onto a drawing document to express the drawing …
