@MrJigarercivil many tanks. For those planning to work with data in construction, learning data analytics is essential. We also recommend studying popular programming languages like Python and libraries like Pandas, which are crucial for data analysis today

@santiagozera thanks. Sure, the same logic for DWG converter, with the only difference that you need to specify a folder not Revit converter and specify the path to the DWG file (instead of Revit).

f you mean Pipeline, there is an example in this video and in the commentary you will find a link to a ready-made Pipeline that can be used in almost any IDE that works with Python: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8K9qooyOciU.htmlsi=W7pCGzc0DjmIwqjF

Ruben many thanks for your remark. All executable in last version of DDC converters re signed by certificates and theoretically antivirus should not generate a warning. Please try downloading the ZIP file again of last version and write if the antivirus still shows the warning.

@@datadrivenconstruction not about antivirus, there is a property Unblock in the executable file when unzipped in a company computer that we never know, so if unblock then no problem

@Accuface2000 many thanks. If there are any questions or suggestions, please don't hesitate to email us

Michael, many thanks for your comment. Both Radar CH developers worked in one way or another in the Warsaw Pact countries. One of the creators of Radar CH (ArchiCAD) worked with organizations that were under the protectorate of the Soviet Union, and both Radar CH creators were paid to develop solutions that were precursors to Radar CH, for the Soviet nuclear industry. What does NATO have to do with RadarCH - ArchiCAD? From public sources it is not quite clear how the MiniCAD Graphsoft and Radar CH Graphisfot products are related, as there is no documented evidence of the connection. But what facts there are on this topic: - In the 80s, Apple founder Steve Jobs notices at a German conference the huge potential of the Radar CH product - In the 80s an agreement between Radar CH developers and Steve Jobs to illegally ship Apple computers to Hungary has surfaced - 1984 is the year the Radar CH (Graphisoft) for the Apple Lisa was officially introduced - 1984 is the year of appearance of MiniCAD product, which also comes out on Apple only already on the American continent and with a similar name, but without "i" Graphsoft If we compare screenshots of these two products Radar CH and MiniCAD - similarity in the interface is striking, with the difference that MiniCAD 1984 does not contain some buttons that are already in Radar CH. Unfortunately, there is little information on this story and it is unlikely that anyone will tell openly about those times and those agreements that were between developers and Steve Jobs. I assume that these products are connected through Steve Jobs and therefore they are shown on the map not as stable connections but as dotted lines that indicate only the possible existence of a connection, just like for example between SONATA and Radar CH or Revit.

да, это хорошая автоматизация

Hi paper_chaser0692 - CSV or XLSX upload is currently only available in the premium version of ChatGPT. But we can replace the file loading with something that we will directly write in any language model - "group df (dataframe - no need to write) by property-column "Category" and show the result as a barchart". In this case, we won't need to load the model into ChatGPT - instead we get code from LLM that we copy unchanged and immediately run offline in Jupyter Notebook and apply this code to any number of projects in any Revit and IFC versions. Please write down the questions and what you want to get and I'll help you put together a promt.

Christophe thank you very much for your comment. I agree with you, but a decade ago Autodesk spent several years suing the Open Design Alliance for opening up the DWG format and then trying to fight the proliferation of Teigha DWG. Autodesk joined the Open Design Alliance originally to use a quality ODA data converter from Revit to IFC, if I remember correctly, because Autodesk developers couldn't organise a quality export. So I doubt that the purpose of joining ODA was to strive for interoperability and transparency. Even Graphisoft has already learnt to read Revit files thanks to ODA, so it is obvious that Autodesk suddenly became interested in becoming a strategic participant and observer in the development of ODA

Alexander many thanks, I will try to incorporate your comments into the next videos

eccussa thanks. This video is more about software that affects productivity in the construction industry and Dassault Systèmes is more about mechanical engineering. ProE from mechanical engineering is seen in this video as a product that directly influenced the creation of the Revit product - on the basis of which Autodesk built its BIM marketing campaign

@Proproektirovanie thank you very much! I appreciate your detailed comment. If possible, please write down what points from the video point to the conspiracy - it will be important for me for further materials or posts 🙋🏻‍♂. Personally, I subjectively believe that there is no conspiracy and the struggle for control over data is a natural coincidence of circumstances, which in one way or another occurs in every sector of the economy and every sphere of life.

Buildinformed many thanks you for your support Without noBIM, the industry is not balanced 😁 Perhaps with the BIM-noBIM dichotomy in place, someday all this marketing fluff will have to leave the construction industry and only "data" and "processes" will remain in construction, as they have been for millennia 🙌

Evgeny many thanks, unfortunately the information in the video is not always on the surface. It was mainly thanks to the link map on Miro that I was able to put everything into one big logical balloon Yes, the video will break into rils, and youtube now has tools that allow you to slice videos into separate parts.

Hi André, Thank you 🙋‍♂

Many thanks BIMskills🙋‍♂

Lance, thank you very much for your support! Subjectively, I believe that the major CAD vendors have fallen into the trap they have put themselves in by inventing BIM. Large CAD vendors and major vendors get full information from closed formats using special SDKs. For example, Graphisoft can import Revit format into ArchiCAD from 2022, or the same Autodesk, using the same SDKs, exports data from Revit to IFC.A free converter for Revit 2015-2022 and IFC2x3 formats is already available for download on the DataDrivenConstruction website, which provides a complete dump of project data into convenient and popular formats without the use of tools from CAD vendors. "He who is not cunning is the one about whom everyone says he is cunning" (Alexander Suvorov). I subjectively believe that the more we talk about the history of the emergence of BIM concepts and who is involved in promoting them, the faster we can move to the next level of data usage when the whole BIM foam evaporates
