Stupid question:
Would BIM solve these issues? I know northern Europe are somewhat advanced in that direction.
What kind of digitalization pace do you see in the US?
BIM just shuffles the problem around. There are firms that do "one source of truth" BIM models but the real issue is conflicts and workflow buy in.
How do you get architect to agree with engineer with lighting designer with lighting contractor when they all have different non overlapping deadlines, work periods, knowledge and scope?
edit: if you don't work in the industry, BIM helps for "these two things are in the same spot", but not much for code unless it's about clearance or some spatial based calculation
BIM definitely helps, but most projects still rely heavily on 2D PDFs for coordination and permitting especially in the US. Even when BIM exists, drawings often lag behind the model and changes don’t stay perfectly synced. We see AI plan checking as a bridge that helps teams catch what falls through the cracks in today’s workflows. And BIM only catches certain issues not building codes etc.
Expected to see a simple ray tracer break down on some edge case. Saw a simple ray tracer, simply ray trace. Was quite disappointed. Why is this posted? What value does it add?
This explains and demonstrates, piece by piece, how a ray tracer works it's a "breakdown" in the sense of "an explanatory analysis", not in the sense of "a failure."
Good for you that you already know how ray tracers work, and so possibly this adds no value for you. I already knew how they work and I thought it was a nice clear demonstration.
