Brand New 30 Minute Webinars Coming!
Interested in exploring the capabilities of collaborative work on Civil 3D projects on the Autodesk cloud platform? Jeff Bartels invites you to a series of webinars where he will thoroughly explain how to transfer your projects to the cloud. During four 30-minute sessions without PowerPoint presentations, he will demonstrate all the features of the platform:
- September 28: Launching Civil 3D projects in the cloud;
- October 12: Managing access to Civil 3D cloud projects;
- October 19: Synchronizing Civil 3D with Autodesk Construction Cloud;
- October 26: Managing Civil 3D project data in the cloud.
The sessions will be recorded and available to all registered participants. After attending, you will gain a deep understanding of how to set up the Autodesk cloud platform to support Civil 3D projects.
Independent three-legged tokens on Authentication API V2
Blog authors Jo?o Martins and Deepali Srivastava discuss updates in the API authentication system. With the introduction of the V2 Authentication API version, tokens have started operating independently of each other. Now, even with multiple user logins and the generation of several access and refresh token pairs, each pair remains independent and can be verified by the server, ensuring the security of the user's data and preventing unauthorized access.
APS Online Training for Software Developers is back! October 16-19, 2023
Blog author Whitney Lawrence announces a free online bootcamp on working with Autodesk Platform Services. The event is designed for both beginners and those looking to refresh their APS development skills.
The bootcamp lasts four days, with each day dedicated to a specific topic discussed in one of the lessons on the website . Participants can choose a convenient time for themselves according to CET or PST, and programming in Node.js or .NET, depending on the day.
For successful learning, beginners are recommended to familiarize themselves with the basics of server development, REST API, and web technologies before the start of the bootcamp. Read about registration and preparatory materials in the original blog post.
FRENCH TOAST
In the fresh blog by Andy Milburn, readers join the author on a journey through the architectural masterpieces of Paris. Andy shares impressions from revisiting the construction site of Notre-Dame de Paris, where he once participated in creating a 3D model of the cathedral as part of a BIM enthusiast team.
The author humorously philosophizes about the historical building materials and the potential menu of the builders across different eras. Andy highlights the importance of immersing oneself in the context of the era when studying buildings, urging people to respect the past while remaining open to new knowledge.
Concluding his journey, Andrew Milburn reflects on his hobby — exploring architecture and striving to understand "the way we build" through visiting buildings, photography, and analytical sketches.

Three Architectural Success Stories Demonstrating the Capabilities of BIM
In the latest blog, Bhushan Avsatthi emphasizes the importance of BIM (Building Information Modeling) for architectural projects. Avsatthi and the HitechDigital team demonstrate its effectiveness through three projects in the USA and Australia where they managed to significantly reduce the time and cost of work by creating precise and coordinated BIM models. The projects included the development of residential complexes and public spaces, ensuring seamless integration of new systems with existing ones. The BIM market, valued at 7.9 billion dollars in 2023, is expected to double by 2028.
System Family Predicate and Python Section Creation
In Jeremy Tammik's blog, family creation and section view representation in Revit using API and Python are discussed.
System Family Definition: Jacob Small and Ivan Dobrianov explore ways to programmatically determine whether a given family is a system family through the use of the IsEditable and IsInPlace properties in the C# Revit API.
Family Creation Considering Level: Richard RPThomas108 Thomas emphasizes the importance of selecting the correct family definition template to obtain necessary built-in properties, such as the ability to bind to upper and lower levels.
Creating Section Views in Python: Pieter Lamoen discusses creating sections with the Revit API and Python that allow the section to be oriented for outside window viewing, demonstrating how to achieve this with Python instead of the traditional C#.
BIM in Norway – Webinar
In a recent webinar organized by AgileBIM and led by Billel Zedazi, guest Ignacy Lozinski discussed the current state and challenges faced by professionals in the field of BIM (Building Information Modeling) in Norway. Lozinski underscored Norway’s leading role in adapting BIM, highlighting key aspects including data management and data quality challenges. Moreover, he proposed ways to address these issues and emphasized the importance of implementing "Lean Construction" in the Norwegian construction industry. In addition to this, Lozinski demonstrated the use of BIM through one of the largest infrastructure projects in Norway – the expansion of the Oslo metro line in the Fornebubanen project.
