* Welcome, Announcements & Introductions

 

* LESSON 1: NEW SYMBOL TRICKS by Evan H. Shu, FAIA
Evan will give a quick lesson showing some of the new things you can now do with
Symbols that may have escaped your notice in DataCAD 12.

* LESSON 2: SPACE CLAIM by Jason Bassi of Paperless Parts
Check out Space Claim, a program some say may be the future of BIM. Think of it
like SketchUp on steroids; it takes away a lot of the headaches in creating a
model for 3d printing. It has very slick on the fly editing features as well as
a new ability to add textures.

* LESSON 3: BEAM CHECK by Eric Gjerde, AIA
Eric will explore this program that helps the architect get a jump on structural
requirements before the structural engineer gets involved. Not only can you
check beam sizes with Beam Check but also columns as well.

* LESSON 4: PIRANESI by Eric Gjerde, AIA
Here is a follow-up presentation on the Piranesi program (like a 3D Photoshop)
to show more recent renderings and illustrate how to get creative with colors.
This program can be used very effectively to take a PDF plan or elevation and
render it in less than five minutes.

* LESSON  5: BLOGGING by Eric Gjerde, AIA
If time permits, Eric will also show you how to create your own blog in less
than 5 minutes. Tell the world what you do, how you do it, and let everyone hear
all your rants and raves!
