How refreshing,...Greg I like the cut of your jib. <br /><br />How refreshing, a reseller with a plan and vision and not just pushing boxes. Actually you don't even get a box anymore ... pushing auth-codes is more like it.<br /><br />I suggest anyone getting on board with BIM (building information modeling) should check out > http://www.caddcenters.com/<br /><br />I was completely unaware of the US bill 'HR 2454' so I googled it and this is what I found > http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=h111-2454 <br /><br />Very interesting in deed. This is worth a blog post all on it's own. <br /><br />Thanks for that great information !Daryl Gregoirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00475252872154500896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26124605.post-54541496518902235012009-07-08T10:14:32.467-03:002009-07-08T10:14:32.467-03:00It's true, but personally, I turned the tables...It's true, but personally, I turned the tables on the old school thinking. Our company has become more consultative and solution selling geared around BIM, IPD and LEED. <br /><br />Unfortunately for the laggards, they have much more to lose than we do. Now that HR 2454 passed and is being worked on in the Senate, it's only a matter of time before 30% energy efficiency is going to be required in ALL residential and commercial products. We all know that polylines and 2D drafting don't stand a chance in the new CAD world. That's Coordination, Analysis and Design.<br /><br />If we can make it through the recession, there's going to be a line 20 miles long of people begging for Revit training. <br /><br />The "we only do 2D not 3D" mantra is soon to be a phrase of the past. With everything you're doing and what we're doing, it's all positive. I'm a technology snob and believe with all my heart that BIM is better, so I've learned to ignore the punches.Gregory Arkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02391158911432665259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26124605.post-66439839585216866522009-07-08T10:02:09.098-03:002009-07-08T10:02:09.098-03:00Thanks for the heads up Greg.

Which is unfortunate because the resellers have no more say in this than the users do (probably less) and still end up being the autodesk punching bag...... which is exactly why I limped away with my sanity. Too many black eyes my friend ;)Daryl Gregoirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00475252872154500896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26124605.post-40241450657016675322009-07-08T00:28:41.577-03:002009-07-08T00:28:41.577-03:00This comment has been removed by the author.Daryl Gregoirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00475252872154500896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26124605.post-28485432548866478842009-07-08T00:15:34.936-03:002009-07-08T00:15:34.936-03:00You forgot to include a file format change every 3...You forgot to include a file format change every 3 years.<br /><br />It's also going to be interesting because of Autodesk's new pricing format that starts next March where to upgrade, it's 50% off the retail price if you're not on subscription.<br /><br />I can't argue with you at all to your points, but at least everyone will be on subscription and at least have the latest version.<br /><br />Personally, I'm hoping that stops some of the verion issues.Gregory Arkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02391158911432665259noreply@blogger.com
