Rebuilding Volterra... In Revit?! (w/Paul Aubin)

[@rocketman1058]

From Romania here: thanks Paul, been familiar with your voice since 2010. I was in University and everyone was jumping on ArchiCAD and Nemetschek, but me as a maverick decided to explore Revit, that nobody heard about. Almost 15 Years later, I work as a Digital Technology Manager, in an American company in London, UK, and I love it. PS: been to Volterra, it is magic ❤❤.

Just because it is possible doesn't mean that it should be done. Using the right software for the intent is often important. For this workflow especially I think Rhino is a much better tool to pull it off given the modelling capabilities and importing context geometry directly.

I'd argue Maya would be even better, but we'll stay with revit

There is a difference between modeling a 3D shape and BIM. Sure, Maya/Blender/Rhino are bette at modeling 3D meshes… but, we are documenting buildings. Not avocados.

OMG, alabaster on a lathe with not even a dust mask. (I am apparently too contemporary in my sensibilities to enjoy anything anymore.) Sorry, back to your BIM content, carry on.

haha I was thinking the same thing… maybe people lungs are just made of alabaster in Volterra.
