On most projects the design team is made up of ourselves the Architects and other consultants such as M&E Engineers and Structural Engineers. We work in a collaborative way with these other consultants to deliver the design. This involves a lot of sharing of information. Often this is native models or IFCs but sometimes it… Read more

On larger projects we often need to link multiple CAD drawings into the model. In Revit when you link CAD you can choose to link into a single view or the entire model. It is advisable for most workflows to link the CAD into a single view. However this does create the problem that some… Read more

In this article I will discuss the various ways we have started to distribute Dynamo knowledge throughout GS Arch. We are using three different approaches to help people get to grips with this new tool. These three approaches are classes, homework assignments and focused presentations explaining a single workflow. To begin with I will discuss… Read more

We here at GS have been investigating the use of Dynamo for the design stage of projects. In this article I will look at three designs for two projects where Dynamo was used to create the desired geometry. Project 1 – University Music Room The split mono-pitch roofs of this design were modelled in Dynamo.… Read more

In this article I describe how we at GSS Architecture are using Dynamo to help speed up the production of COBie data. I will start this article where we started to solve this problem with a diagram of the COBie sections. In this diagram I listed the sections of COBie data schedule that we as… Read more
