Description
Are you a long-time Revit user looking to get started with Autodesk’s awesome new modeling toolset, Fusion 360 software? Are you finding it hard to model certain elements with Revit alone, such as organic surfaces? Do you want to get into product design, or do you just need simple FEA to stress-test parts of your designs? While it can be very confusing at first, with a little help, you’ll quickly see that Revit and Fusion 360 share more “under the hood” than you might initially think! In this class, you’ll learn the advantages of working with Fusion 360 along with Revit. You’ll see how to quickly overcome common hurdles that Revit users stumble on when starting to work with Fusion 360. And you’ll discover how to apply your existing solid sketch-based know-how with a whole new tool. With lots of examples from recent projects where we used both together, by the end of this class you’ll be working away in Fusion 360 just as you do in Revit!
Key Learnings
- See the advantages of adding Fusion 360 to your Revit-enabled workflow
- Learn the basics of Fusion 360 from the perspective of a Revit user
- See how your existing Revit knowledge can easily transfer over to this powerful new tool
- New to Fusion 360? Not a problem, you'll learn some basics in this class as well.
Speaker
- JMJeffrey McGrewMy lifelong goal is to make the world a more interesting place. For over 20 years I've done this by making great things. Along the way, I've become a licensed architect, designed and helped make one of the world's finest bars, turned shipping containers into playrooms for adults, revitalized defunct commercial spaces, given a children's zoo a steampunk makeover, helped built one of the largest digitally-fabricated structures in history (and witnessed its planned immolation). I've founded companies, advised startups and industry incumbents alike, built software to make making easier, taught salvaged industrial robots how to dance, and built huge 3D printers to print sustainable furniture. Since 2006, I've been the co-founder and principal architect of www.bwcarchitects.com, an award-winning design-build architecture studio in Oakland, California. In 2018 I helped co-found www.model-no.com, a new digitally fabricated, on-demand, sustainable furniture brand and acted as their CTO until the beginning of 2023. And now in 2023 I'm working with some amazing people on a new DFMA & advanced fabrication service company for AECO named secretweaponworkshop.com. I've helped build brilliant and dynamic teams and fostered the deep client, community, and industry relationships a small creative firm and start-up needs to succeed. As co-founder, lead architect, and CTO my responsibilities for design direction, tech stack, and digital fabrication strategies are balanced with the more quotidian business demands of sales, marketing, and project management. I love to meet new people, be challenged by new ideas, solve problems, learn new ways of working, develop new ways of making, to teach and share all I know, and perhaps most importantly, to work with great people to bring great things to life.
