ORUG at AU2012

Canada was very well represented at AU2011. It was nice to see people from across the country and to meet with many of them. Some members of the Ontario Revit Users Group who were lucky enough to be there met to discuss our experience. Here were some highlights:

Repeating Themes

1. Push automation and integration between BIM players.
2. International and national BIM Standards are now forming
3. Use Keynotes in Revit
4. Use View Filters in Revit

AU2012

All I can say is, go. It really is a good investment to make connections with industry leaders and to learn how and why they are using certain technologies.

RTC2012

For the same reasons you would go to AU, go to RTC (Revit Technology Conference). This conference has gotten fantastic reviews in the past.
