How has your experience been on the interop front with BIM? Outside of a few outliers (Grasshopper/Revit) I've found a lot of the tooling to be horrendous from a compatibility POV.
We've done work with stuff like Speckle to try and improve data interchange, but still feels like an uphill battle
- defterGoose 6y agoIMO, there's room for disruptive product(s) there. I've seen Grasshopper be a great tool for non-coders; though as with all visual programming tools, you are bound to run into a problem you can't immediately address with it. I'm less familiar with the workflow principles of Revit as they pertain to ushering data through to end users, but I can definitely see how a well developed "CAD with metadata" system could be useful, especially for driving simulation experiences for stakeholders, and possibly being the backend for an increasingly digital construction site. I have heard both good and bad about revit, the bad mostly centering on the fact that it's a behemoth Autodesk product and therefore not prone to user-responsiveness. My own personal experience has taught me that some pretty basic coding chops can go a long way to creating data pipelines that can supercharge an organization's output.
