The CADDle Call

In this podcast, we discuss how Building Products Manufacturers are looking to get their products directly into the hands of architects, engineers, and contractors, and the tools they are using to ensure their products are specified in the design and bid processes as early as possible.

In this podcast, we discuss the best practices for controlling your non-CAD files (i.e., bids, specifications, reports, cut sheets, etc.) in a design/build project.

In this podcast, we discuss the Cloud world and the feasibility of using CAD in the cloud.

2D CAD is the oldest and most-widely used tool of the CAD world, but has it been left behind when it comes to development & innovation? 

Robert Green, CAD expert and Director of Implementation at Bricsys, joins us today to discuss the benefits and superior features of BricsCAD and why people are starting to shift from AutoCAD to BricsCAD as their primary drafting tool.

This week's podcast deals with the realities of site and road design processes. We'll discuss the best ways to start a design and the different tools you can use to begin and, eventually, complete a project.

Today we're discussing working remotely in the Construction world. With 42% of the construction workforce being regularly mobile today, construction firms are always looking for better, faster, simpler ways to control their documents while still making them available to staff, no matter where they are located.

In this podcast, we discuss training CAD and design staff in this new paradigm of working remotely.

Most firms are using at least three different software systems for design. Many more use specialized programs for HVAC, MEP, Structural and engineering analysis. This creates multiple headaches for CAD personnel and designers.  Today, we'll discuss the current shift in the CAD industry, where smaller, more responsive CAD systems are going to the concept of Single File Type Models. In other words, you use one primary software package, with one set of tools, that will handle all your design needs.

We’re moving a bit outside the CAD world in this podcast to discuss construction estimating tools for an important reason: construction is the end product of designs and it helps to understand how end users work with design output we provide.

In these unprecedented times, a lot of us are having to work from home without having the experience or infrastructure to do so. And in the design/CAD world, this is compounded by the need for collaboration. Join us as we discuss these challenges and how you can work through them.

Interested in learning more about CAD Management? Join us and special guest Robert Green as we discuss  the What, Why and How of CAD Management. Mr. Green is a respected speaker, author, and all around expert in all things CADD.

In this episode, we dive into the world of manufacturing and discuss the two primary methods of modeling, Direct and Parametric.

In this episode, Kimberly Fuhrman, President of AUGI, joins us to discuss the differences between BIM (Building Information Modeling) and 3D Modeling.

In this episode, we'll discuss the two major topics that come up when talking about layers: layer standards and plot styles.
