Lots of things happening, making it challenging to find time for my Milano trip preparations:
I recently mentioned the upcoming EMEA Autodesk Cloud Accelerator Extension in Prague, and Kean Walmsley also brought it up his article on the next Cloud Accelerator in Prague.
This European event is inspired by the success of the first two cloud accelerator classes held in San Francisco.
It is a one-week intensive program held at the Autodesk offices in the beautiful Czech city of Prague, the city of many bridges, September 13-18, 2015.
Here is a snapshot of my friends Roi and Blanc admiring the view of some of Prague's bridges from the Hanavsky Pavilion during their world tour in 2007:
They were also fascinated by the David Černý's urinating statues Proudy:
The accelerator provides a great opportunity to kick-start your own chosen project development making use of any Autodesk cloud technologies and PaaS infrastructure – View and Data, Autodesk BIM 360, AutoCAD I/O, Autodesk InfraWorks 360 or Autodesk ReCap – with face-to-face advice and support from Autodesk. Members of the ADN and engineering teams – me included – will be on hand to help work through any development issues you hit while creating or honing your application.
To learn more about the benefits of this program, listen to the videos documenting first-hand reports from previous participants.
So come join us in Prague for a fun week of cloud-oriented development. All you need to do is submit your application proposal by July 14: if you are selected to be one of the 10 participating companies, Autodesk will cover accommodation costs for up to 2 attendees.
Find out more at autodeskcloudaccelerator.com/prague.
Good luck with your application!
I recently mentioned the impressive success of the Revit AppStore.
Autodesk now announced that the Exchange Apps Store downloads passed the one million mark.
Take a look at this quick two-minute YouTube DevTV video for more background info and two typical app mini-demo snippets:
After creating The Responsive Building Coder, I also went on to implement The Responsive 3D Web Coder, so that both blogs are now based on a responsive web design.
After that, I went on to convert both of their old Typepad commenting systems to use the more modern and centralised Disqus discussion platform.
So don't be surprised if things look a bit different now.
I hope this is an improvement :-)
Please let me know what you think.
Lately, I have not been following the AEC DevBlog as closely as I would like.
Now I discovered that my colleagues Aaron Lu and Augusto Goncalves have put together an impressive series of posts based on recent ADN cases that you should definitely not miss, three especially exciting RME-specific ones, and some more generic:
PipeScheduleType in a corrupted document by manually creating a new pipe and extracting its newly generated pipe schedule type from the built-in RBS_PIPE_CLASS_PARAM parameter value, which can then be applied to other pipe segments by adding a new RoutingPreferenceRule to the RoutingPreferenceManager.getTableNameByServerId, which is not part of the Revit API and must be retrieved from the MEPCalculationServerInfo instead.getLossMethods function provided by a Revit MEP external server to retrieve a list of names and GUIDs of all available loss method implementations.NewDimension to create dimensioning between specific detail component instance geometry sub-elements.NewFamilyInstance method to use, and tweaking the result using HostObjectUtils.GetSideFaces and the built-in parameter BuiltInParameter.INSTANCE_SCHEDULE_ONLY_LEVEL_PARAM.NewSubcategory method to define a specific colour for a detail curve created via NewDetailCurve.RevisionCloud.Create method.Many thanks to Aaron and Augusto for all their research and documentation!
