Dynamo - Visual Programing Tool of BIM

Dynamo is an open source visual programming platform for designers. Visual programing tools growing gradually to bring extensive ability to designers. Visual programing means designers make contribution to their work platform. 

ModeLab have just present the First Edition of the Dynamo Primer, a comprehensive guide to visual programming in Autodesk Dynamo Studio.This primer is an on-going project to share the fundamentals of programming. Topics include working with computational geometry, best practices for rules-based design, cross-disciplinary programming applications, and more with the Dynamo Platform.

• Context - What exactly is "Visual Progamming" and what are the concepts I need to understand to dive in to Dynamo?
• Getting Started - How do I get Dynamo and create my first program?
• What's in a Program - What are the functional parts of Dynamo and how do I use them?
• Building Blocks - What is "Data" and what are some fundamental types I can start using in my programs?
• Geometry for Design - How do I work with geometric elements in Dynamo?
• Lists, Lists, Lists - How to do I manage and coordinate my data structures?
• Code in Nodes - How can I start extending Dynamo with my own code?
• Computational BIM - How can I use Dynamo with a Revit model?

Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) is a web service that provides resizable compute capacity in the cloud. It is designed to make web-scale cloud computing easier for developers.

Amazon EC2’s simple web service interface allows you to obtain and configure capacity with minimal friction. It provides you with complete control of your computing resources and lets you run on Amazon’s proven computing environment. Amazon EC2 reduces the time required to obtain and boot new server instances to minutes, allowing you to quickly scale capacity, both up and down, as your computing requirements change. Amazon EC2 changes the economics of computing by allowing you to pay only for capacity that you actually use. Amazon EC2 provides developers the tools to build failure resilient applications and isolate themselves from common failure scenarios.

G Team by Ghery Technologies

"When it comes to file sharing in GTeam, imagine Dropbox souped up with the security and navigation you have wished for."

GTeam is a new cloud-based 3D, file management and project collaboration platform. Inspired by Frank Gehry’s vision of collaboration, GTeam was created specifically for Architecture, Engineering and Construction professionals using a 3D centric approach to project delivery. Unlike traditional file-sharing solutions, GTeam is purpose-built for the AEC industry to support the needs of BIM teams, with an open platform that enables collaboration regardless of the authoring tools being used by the individual participants. 

Happy news from Ghery Technologies and Trimble;

SUNNYVALE and LOS ANGELES, Calif., Sept. 8, 2014—Trimble (NASDAQ: TRMB) and Frank Gehry announced today that they have entered into a strategic alliance to collaborate to transform the construction industry by further connecting the office to on-site construction technologies. As part of the alliance, Trimble has acquired Gehry Technologies, the software and consulting services business that has been instrumental in delivering Frank Gehry's visionary designs while keeping cost and schedule in line for his clients.

My first experience with Revit API

I made this project in my master class, knowledge-based architectural design. My aim to develop a reporting tool which is using BIM model data. 

Revit software is a good reviewer about all information into BIM model but it is not keeping this data as model history although BIM model progress is so important for architects, project planner, and project manager.

This a young reporting add-in for revit. It is taking revit model data regularly, like every day, and creating a report chart with revit user interface (RevitUI).

Flow Chart

Reporting add-in collect model data base on date. Then creating model category, annotation category, imported category elements which is contained in the model, and calculating their megabite size.

What is Arduino?

http://www.arduino.cc/

Arduino is a tool for making computers that can sense and control more of the physical world than your desktop computer. It's an open-source physical computing platform based on a simple microcontroller board, and a development environment for writing software for the board.

Arduino can be used to develop interactive objects, taking inputs from a variety of switches or sensors, and controlling a variety of lights, motors, and other physical outputs. Arduino projects can be stand-alone, or they can communicate with software running on your computer (e.g. Flash, Processing, MaxMSP.) The boards can be assembled by hand or purchased preassembled; the open-source IDE can be downloaded for free.

The Arduino programming language is an implementation of Wiring, a similar physical computing platform, which is based on the Processing multimedia programming environment.
