Fry Your Brain with SITEOPS®

On March 8, 2010, in 2010, AU, Add On Software, Grading, by James Wedding, P.E.

One of my favorite feelings is when I can watch a demo and feel my jaw drop. Civil 3D the first time, iPhoto with Face matching, Sketchbook on the iPhone. The past few years, I’ve always made a point to visit SITEOPS crew at AU. I saw some of their stuff a few years back, and it was neat, but felt a bit of a one-trick pony. This year? I got my jaw dropped. We had a few minutes to chat, and I am just blown away by how much this stuff has improved in the current releas

So, want to enjoy a good smile and watch how design should be done? They’re hosting a webinar on Wednesday to discuss how their clients use SITEOPS in the site design process for schools, but I think you’ll see quickly how your company could use this. You can sign up here (there’s a 10-minute webinar on that page as well) and check out the full webinar. Be sure to bring a napkin for the drool.

EE’s Style Management Tools…for Free

On March 1, 2010, in 2010, Add On Software, Cad Management, Styles, Templates, by James Wedding, P.E.

OK, it’s a bit of a slow day on the Subscription post, so Mark and the guys at EE decided to liven it up apparently. Look, if you’re a CadManager, or even just the guy in charge of managing the template, and you don’t have ProPack yet, go get it now.

EE ProPack CadMgr Civil 3D add-on is now FREE!

Seriously, this is the best tool currently available for managing styles, and it will be for some time to come, so go get your free software groove-thing on.

Order of Priority for Point Display

On February 22, 2010, in Add On Software, Points, Styles, by James Wedding, P.E.

Thanks to Richard Sincovec for this concise listing of priority. I forget the order quite a bit, so I’m putting it here for safe mental housekeeping.

If you use Description Keys to assign styles to each individual Cogo Point, then those styles will take priority over the styles in the Point Group, unless you turn on the Point Group Override (on the Overrides tab, in the Point Group Properties).

The order of control is:

1)  Style from Point Group, IF the Override is enabled.
2)  Style assigned to the Cogo Point itself, if one is assigned.
3)  Style from Point Group.

– Sinc

You can check out Sinc’s company here and his software here. His toolset seems to strike more of a chord with Survey folks, while EE’s stuff rings with engineers, but it’s always good to check out new stuff.

Autodesk Acquires Dynamite VSP and Dynamite SIM

On January 5, 2010, in Add On Software, Autodesk, by James Wedding, P.E.

You had to sort of wonder how long this would take given the amount of love Dynamite has been given on box covers and in various demos over the last few years. My best wishes to Bruce and the crew at Dynamite, they have a rocking product, and I hope I’ll get to play with it more now that it’s in the company stable. Read the presser here: Autodesk – Design Visualization – Autodesk Acquires Dynamite VSP and Dynamite SIM Visualization Software Products.
