  1. Thank you for the informative video! As a landscape architect, I often look with a bit of envy at the architectural focus in the development of cutting-edge software. Have you seen any interesting software that addresses landscape elements in a more in-depth way, such as cut and fill, soil depths, vegetation, etc.?

  2. I've always wondered – isn't there anything that addresses the workflow interior design + documentation challenge?

    Yes, there are tools that help designers create layouts which can then be exported to Revit, but then you still need to handle design development and documentation using pre-prepared Revit templates for offices, hospitality, etc.

    Today, many of these design development tasks are still being done in SketchUp because it's so much faster than Revit for designers. Has anyone thought about developing some kind of workflow or platform that could improve and streamline this entire process?

    Interior design is a huge business, but BIM tools seem to be built primarily for architects and engineers, leaving interior designers to patch together workflows that aren't really designed for how they actually work.

    By the way, FANTASTIC VIDEO!

  3. hey hey i have been an CAD Tech for years and think my biggest issue will be training training and moreeee training. This is my biggest issue. Great video by the way 5 stars guy. I just found you just like that lol
