A great idea and initial effort but it was a bit plain to see the market/revenue generating bias of it toward Seek.and it too has died on the vine.
My feelings changed sharply a short while after the Family Style Guide was published related to Seek. I even went there a couple times to pull down bad examples of content to show people I was mentoring on the subject.not a good recommendation eh? Inspiration for blog posts is one upside? Okay, getting snarkastic sorry. If you consider RevitCity's content quality is ravaged pretty consistently by fellow Revit users, as such lately I have had the same dread reaction to resorting to searching Autodesk Seek. My own experience with Autodesk Seek began with hmm promising, let's see how this goes and ended with what's the point. Regarding my overall experience with Autodesk Seek, prompted by a post at RFO, I wrote this reply there a couple days ago, responding to Philip.(a bit more of the Opinion part of OpEd) However attempting to be fair, users need good quality content to make quality building models so if these guys do well we BIM users ought to be winning. My first impression is that their customers are product manufacturers, selling the service of creating and hosting content for manufacturers, the same as for Autodesk Seek.Īssuming the somewhat jaundiced view of a Revit user, the user is the product they are selling to their customers, like Facebook for example. I can say after arriving at their site via Revit once that the UI presented to us is a sight better than Seek. I see they've set up a hotline for Autodesk Seek transition so look for that information there (via separate FAQ sections for User and BPM) too, it's the same telephone number for either category, user or BPM (Building Product Manufacturer). They've provided a transfer FAQ you can read but it's not really responding to any questions I have, as a user.UNLESS you are then careful to click the small link for User FAQ on the left side (link next paragraph). It could be bimobjects because that's also on the site. At least I think the naming is BIMobject. " As of JanuAutodesk Seek has been transferred to BIMobject. Specifically, you may have been, or will be, greeted by a message when attempting to search Autodesk Seek via Revit's Insert ribbon? The message begins with something like (I didn't capture the screen the first time). At the moment the only place other than Autodesk sites that I recall reading information about this change is the Revit Add-Ons post on the day it happened, so well done Tim. Oh I've given it away.or have I? (imagine Craig Ferguson was speaking). I have been busy as well as going through another spell of "What's it all about Alfie?". I do apologize if my reticence to post more often is disappointing. At least that's what a few emails asking about this semi-recent change suggests to me. Apparently some readers are still hoping to be able to rely on me to try to stay current with things. Then again dear reader you may not have noticed that I haven't been posting as much lately. I've been busy, experiencing angst or lazy, you pick.
