Revit Pure Live #043 - Should you Automate BIM?

Bill Allen is the CEO and founder of EvolveLab, while Benjamin Guler is the CTO. EvolveLab is a BIM consultancy and software-creating firm specializing in data-driven design and BIM automation.

There is much buzz around generative design, BIM automation, and data-driven design in the architecture, engineering, and construction space. Just because we can automate something, does it mean we should?

I have seen demos of EvolveLab products. I expect you to be blown away.

Do you wish you could convert a Sketchup file to a Revit model that uses system families and not just imported geometry? This episode is for you.

"Should you automate design" easy, yes. the firm i am working for is going down the path of automating design. so much can be taken from the model and simple calculation run across it to speed up the process of design.
