I hate the be the bearer of bad news... SketchUp (at least as long as Google had control of it) has never been free for commercial use. You had to buy the Pro version to produce commercial work. The disclaimer might have been slightly buried in a larger terms agreement, but it was there and IT departments in large firms have been struggling with designers breaking the terms frequently.
Pro means what it means. Which is why several years ago they disabled some of the export features in the non-Pro version. All that has happened is a name change, and he Pro version is a little more expensive, although still reasonably in the reach of anyone who wants to call themselves a 'Pro'.
Free SketchUp isn't free for commercial use
by Roopinder Tara, Tenlinks.com (Updated to reflect that free SketchUp was never licensed for commerical use.) How do you tell the largest CAD user base in the world that they they are going to cut off? You don't. SketchUp, known and loved by millions, was revised late last year. There was the...
Using Reporting parameters.
You can filter the cases where the wall width a door sits in is less than 2" would be an easy way to eliminate toilet partiion doors from a schedule.
What if I don’t want this Door in my Door Schedule?
There are a number of approaches to filter a door from your door schedule. I have included few of these below… Schedule Properties > Filter Without customizing anything, you can select from any of the available parameter fields to remove door[s] based on specific requirements under Schedule Pro...
Awesome news. Had no idea the fix was already in my hand. This news will please a lot of project teams.
Palette and Element Creation
Some History In 2011 with the introduction of the properties palette we implemented more pre-setting of properties on placement. Internal these are called "Dummy" elements since they are not real until an instance is placed. They are stand-ins like crash test dummies. Take the case where you a...
I would love to have more business cases for my shiny aluminum and glass wonder.
The most important part of this workflow is, when offline, redlines are still able to be imported into Revit for the team to respond. Any port of Design Review on a mobile device has to be thought of from a different use case. A subset of features, with really good gestural controls, and the ability to quickly send snapshots or comments to an email would be helpful.
As others have mentioned, offline use will be critical for remote jobsites, or international projects where 3G or WiFi is not available. When it is, connecting via remote desktop becomes more attractive anyhow.
Autodesk Design Review on the Apple iPad
This is Software Engineer, Frederic Loranger, at work in our San Francisco office. Frederic has been heavily involved in Project Twitch for a long time now. Most of his work has centered on hosting Autodesk applications on servers featuring a video compression technology that has very low laten...
Harlan,
These are a great explanation of how to achieve simple tasks and work well in the knowledge base. I especially like that you've used the focus zoom which makes it easy to view on a small device, like a mobile phone.
In addition to the video, it would still be useful to have the steps spelled out in the article.
Cheers,
Sean
Some quick videos
As part of a small pilot project, I have created a few quick video solutions oi the Revit Architecture Knowledge base. If you have a few minutes give them a look and let me know what you think. Check them out on the Hot Issue page for Revit Architecture. Let me know what you think!
Yeah, these are usually referred to as a latte in The States. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latte_art
It's rare that you'll find anyone skilled enough to make one of those in a place like Las Vegas. Come to Seattle and I'll show you the best places to get your 'flat white'.
Autodesk University 2009 Preparation 1.01 – The Flat White
Find all the coffee vendors in the vicinity of Mandalay Bay Hotel and have them watch this so I don’t get puzzled looks, or worse, if I forget where I am and ask for a “Flat White”! Notice it’s not sold by the gallon, doesn’t have “flavours” added (because it tastes of coffee), contains caffeine...
