This is the second part of my series on some very nice 3D Documents created by Patrick May, a residential designer and BIM Manager at Christian Gladu Design Studio. You can read the first half here. Jared Banks: What gave you the idea to do the documentation of the fireplace framing as a series of...
One of the many benefits of blogging about ArchiCAD is that I get to know a lot of wonderful users around the world. I keep telling myself (and my wife) that—once we start traveling again (we want our daughters to be a little older and my wife is in school through May, 2013)—there are so...
BONUS POST! I thought I was finished with my Thermal Bridging Simulation Adventure; turns out I was wrong. To help you review my coverage of the topic, click through for post 0, post 1, post 2, post 3, post 4, and post 5. As I was waiting for post 5 to be shared, Scott Newland of...
We’ve reached the end of our Thermal Bridging Simulation Adventure (for now). As a recap here’s post 0, post 1, post 2, post 3, and post 4. Now that we know what we’re doing, let’s go back a few steps and see how everything is easier if we make a few changes to our processes....
In case you’re just joining us on the Thermal Bridging Simulation Adventure, here’s post 0, post 1, post 2, and post 3. We’re hitting the Start Simulation Button! Finally. Doing so gives us two results which we can subsequently place as images on our detail. Here’s what my simulation generates after I place the two potential...

If you’ve been following along (post 0, post 1, post 2), we’ve got a detail that is ready to analyze. Almost. We’ve designated what’s air and what’s earth in the Thermal Bridging Simulation Window. We’ve also made sure our building is located in the right spot on the earth and set the elevation above sea...
In cinematic terms – special effects can impress – but if the plot is poorly constructed or otherwise not plausible, the reviews can ruin a movie’s chances at box office success. Being able to develop a 4D schedule and 5D estimate is very powerful and illustrates a domain-expertise that resonates with owners – but it...
