I got a call from the Architect saying our model does not align with theirs. So we figured out that I would need to reposition the linked-in Arch Model by right clicking and selecting "Reposition to Internal Origin". The issue I have with this is that we already have work done in the model and the work does not mode with the model. I tried repositioning the model then mass-moving all of the MEP work but I get the error "cant move these elements. One of them is restricted to moving in one direction while the other is restricted to moving in a conflicting direction".

Help? Are we SOL or is there a way to move everything in this model (linked model & our MEP work) all at once?

So i have a B.Sc. In Architechture from a good School with good grades but Architecture itself isnt my path. I want to go into the BIM field because it seems to get better pay than a normal architect, plus im very Interested in it.
What would be the best way for me to get into the Field to Work to become a BIM Manager?

I work with Rhino and Grasshopper ( and i probably want to start learning revit exc).
I did an internship at a large architecture and planning office that is very BIM focused.

What should be my next step?

Hey everyone!

How much are you earning after 5+ years of experience in the BIM Industry in Europe?

Please mention your country along with your salary. If you’re not comfortable sharing the exact amount, feel free to just provide a range.

Thank you :)

So, I've been learning 3D modeling with Revit using point clouds for a while, and I'm stuck when it comes to detailing metal structures... I've researched Advance Steel a bit, it seems like a good solution.

How would you model this? In a way that isn't just a simple extrusion, I want to insert parameters and "be as BIM as possible". Tips, playlists, vdeos... are all welcome

Hey everyone,

I'm currently an architect working in the UAE. I regularly use Revit, Dynamo, Rhino, and Grasshopper, but I'm planning to transition into a specialized BIM or computational design role later this year.

To make that jump, I’m diving into architectural automation and programming using the Revit API and Python. I’d love to hear from those who have already gone down this path:

1. The Career Impact: How did learning to program custom tools for Revit change your trajectory? Did it open doors to new roles, shift your day-to-day responsibilities, or impact your salary?
2. Erik Frits's Course: I’m looking at professional bootcamps and specifically considering Erik Frits's LearnRevitAPI / pyRevit Bootcamp. Has anyone here taken it? How much value did it provide compared to figuring things out on your own, especially if you already have a grasp on visual programming like Dynamo?

Any insights on the learning curve, how you applied your first custom tools in a professional setting, or other resources to check out would be hugely appreciated. Thanks!

Hi, im switching careers in my 40s from graphic design to BIM (for obvious reasons) and have enrolled in a 2 year community college course. So Maths was never my strong suit back in high school, I wanna ask how much of a handicap will that be for me ? Is the job actually math heavy ?

I just need to vent about it

I haven't done a job search since way before I graduated college. I was hired right out of my Architectural Drafting program. I'm needing a change of pace, and of course better pay. I'm looking for jobs with local or national companies. My question is..... does it suck this much for everyone? I feel like I'm either overly qualified for the low paying entry level jobs, but way underqualified for the experienced job titles. As long as I can stay living where I do, I want some sort of BIM designing role. I just don't want to work in the field. I feel like I'm asking too much. I've applied for two roles with Jacobs and already been rejected from one. Ugh

Hi everyone im applying for a Project coordinator/BIM Technician

I'm Senior Mech designer using Fusion360/Catia last 10 years how hard it is to convert to NavisWork and Revit?

My whole life was manufacturing and FEA

I know autocad isnt a big deal i fully design by command on f360 but still, if anyone can give an insight !

I’m graduating with my AAS degree in Architectural Technology. I had recently started job searching for cad entry roles and got an interview for a bim technician job. I applied just to see if it was possible to enter. I’m a little nervous because they mentioned structural design and I haven’t learned much about columns and beams placement. Should I still interview for the job? Do they train you in structural aspects?

hi

My salary is average around 48k brutto working as a BIM Coordinator. I feel this is on the lower end in the market but I don’t mind it, since I’m still gaining experience.

but my question is when should I ideally ask my company for a raise and typically how much? is 10% raise per year normal in the BIM industry in Europe?

also I was thinking of moving to Switzerland to double my salary after few years. is this a viable option since both are German speaking countries?

Pros: Good pay, flexible hours, you can work from home

Cons: Redrawing the same damn conduit run 15 times because people keep changing their minds 😂

Hey team, has anyone here completed a Master's in Built Environment or something similar? I'm currently on the lookout for a good program, preferably in the EU or any English taught and full time program. I would appreciate any response , TQ

Sou estudante de arquitetura me aproximando do final do curso e sou acostumado a usar Archicad ha um bom tempo. Depois de me formar quero seguir para incorporação imobiliária e quero ter um bom conhecimento em BIM, não na parte de modelagem e sim na parte de gestão da informação, visando cargos mais altos. Pra eu chegar nesse patamar de gestão eu preciso necessariamente dominar um software ou preciso só entender do restante do processo?

Minha intenção não é atuar diretamente com BIM, mas dominar o suficiente para me destacar no segmento de incorporação, pra ter argumentos pra debater, analisar o trabalho de outras pessoas e gerenciar alguma equipe se for necessário. Estou considerando tirar a certificação Foundation da BuildingSmart antes de me formar.

Small developer client, no technical background. They keep approving things in 2D and then being surprised when things look different in 3D. Should we be educating them or just delivering what they ask for?

Bonjour à tous,

Je suis récemment diplômée en tant que BIM Modeleur du bâtiment et je travaille principalement avec Revit Architecture, Twinmotion et AutoCAD.

Je suis actuellement en train de développer mon portfolio et j’aimerais avoir des conseils de personnes déjà dans le domaine du BIM/Revit.

Je voudrais surtout comprendre :

comment vous avez trouvé vos premiers projets ou expériences,

quelles plateformes ou méthodes fonctionnent réellement pour débuter,

et quel type de projets est le plus pertinent pour progresser au début.

Je suis particulièrement intéressée par la modélisation BIM/Revit en architecture et les projets en remote ou à l’international.

Merci d’avance pour vos conseils et retours d’expérience.
