By Mark Cronin On May 15, 2013 · Leave a Comment

DWG Export Options-2

Exporting Shared Coordinates to DWG

By Mark Cronin On April 15, 2013 · Leave a Comment

Another quick tip, obvious but a bit too hidden for some;

By Mark Cronin On March 12, 2013 · Leave a Comment

After recently posting about a BIM Diary based in the UK, I was pleased to discover that a similar Australian site has been launched by RTVTOOLS and ThinkBIM. BIMdates.com is already filling up with Australasian events, and is a great way of keeping track of what’s happening down under. [...]
