I have also met a Finnish structural engineer who does similar work as you.
I would say BIM is somewhat the reverse of what you do, basically BIM is about compiling a database of building elements, with ā€œdrawingsā€ as one possible method of presentation and ā€œquantitiesā€ etc extracted from the same source.

Thank you TysonK.

I will look-into this further. I remember seeing this in a search a few weeks back.
I just need to schedule the time to ā€œdo-itā€!

I have been using the Nick Sonder/Matt Donley book/method since it came out. Everyone loves the results. Just need to get faster at it!!
Iā€™m hoping that their updated book (video tutorials would be ā€œgoldenā€) comes out soon. Nock does really terrific work/graphics.

Thanks again.

It looks like you can watch the replay if you are signed up for the series. Start on this page, and follow the signing up steps. Then you can replay this first one, and you will be set up ok for the remaining ones:

@colin Is there a good reason why you canā€™t use your Trimble ID to sign up?

I realize that the series is hosted by a 3rd party, but would be nice not to have to create yet another account.

121

Itā€™s hard enough to get other Trimble companies to match the sign in options SketchUp has Even this forum is different.

122

Iā€™ve noticed that.

You would think that at least within Trimble properties there would be single sign-on available. (that doesnā€™t rely on Facebook or Google ā€” and all of the associated tracking that invokes)

I will not sign in with either of them other than their own sites

Itā€™s a little work but I found what works for me right now. I import the CADD survey into SU and extract the graphics. I then import the survey into LO and extract the annotation then combine the two. This places each in the program appropriate for editing and working with the respective entities. I usually have to save the CADD back R14 to get ride of AutoCAD proxies.
The basic thing I find is donā€™t try to draw in LO. And donā€™t try to annotate in SU.

CrowdCast (the webinar software we use) is not owned by or associated with Trimble in any way. While we would love to be able to have Trimble ID work for sign in, it would mean us having our own webinar platform.
