Barriers to Software Adoption: a Case Study of BIM Technology in the HK Building and Construction Industry

Dear BIM users,

One of my friend is currently doing her University of South Australia Doctoral research on "Barriers to Software Adoption: a Case Study of BIM Technology in the Hong Kong Building and Construction Industry".

She is currently seeking many participants to answer her quick survey/questionnaire. The ideal participants are those who are working on any Hong Kong BIM projects and/or physically located in Hong Kong, but doing any BIM overseas projects.

If you are interested participating to this Doctoral research, please contact Wendy Lee Woon Ming (Woon.Lee@postgrads.unisa.edu.au).

Thanks for your help

Autodesk LABS: 3D/2D ShareNow

The free 3D/2D ShareNow add-in has been updated to work with AutoCAD-based vertical solutions. This applies to the 2008 product line that is available now and the 2009 product line that will be available soon.

The 3D/2D ShareNow add-in allows you to share your design with others with one easy click. While in AutoCAD, Inventor (or Inventor LT), or Revit, you click on a ShareNow icon and see your design in Project Freewheel. The ShareNow team created some YouTube videos that show ShareNow in action:

1. INVENTOR: Publish to Project Freewheel from Inventor video (2:05 minutes)
2. AUTOCAD: Publish to Project Freewheel from AutoCAD video (0:49 minutes)
3. REVIT: Publish to Project Freewheel from Revit video (2:20 minutes)

So download ShareNow, give it a try, and let the ShareNow team know what you think: Labs.Freewheel@autodesk.com. Is it easy to use or what?
