Project Spark writeup from Labs

Straight from AutoDesk Labs:

Project Spark: too little? too much?

Screenshot
Project Spark is a free technology preview of a simplified 3D building information modeling (BIM) solution. The purpose of the technology preview is to validate the statement:
    Using Project Spark, building professionals can create designs efficiently with real-world building objects, produce more reliable documentation faster, and share files with consultants using Revit or AutoCAD-based products.
You can learn more about Project Spark at:
Project Spark on Autodesk Labs
The differences between Project Spark and Autodesk Revit include:
File_18211
Based on this list:
  • Is there a need for something like Project Spark?
  • Can non-Revit building professionals easily work with the user interface?
  • Does Project Spark offer the right set of functionality that non-Revit building professionals need? Is it too much functionality? Is it too little?
Please share your thoughts at labs.revit.spark@autodesk.com or the discussion forum. We can't answer these questions without you.
Virtual Goldilocks is alive in the lab,.

Great Post by Zach Kron - Parametric Patterns XII: Reporter


Parametric Patterns XII: Reporter

As always, another great post from Zach over at buildz...check it out!!

 

 

“Re-present (abstract or transform) information from a model.”


.........."one can also create family based geometry in such a way that it can add another layer of information to a model, drawing out more information than would otherwise be there. "....
