Formit to Revit Workflow (alternative to Sketchup)

I know some of you are frustrated by trying to model sites and existing buildings in Revit and a few are reverting to Sketchup instead. As an alternative to Sketchup why not try the web version of Autodesk? It offers Sketchup style modelling but can be transferred into Revit as in place masses easily. (Also available on tablets)

The two videos below give an idea.

The best tablet sketching App?

I've tried about 10 apps and this one is currently my preferred.

I really liked the roof on this building. Profiled steel on steroids!

Interesting shading in Zurich

I have to say I'm disappointed with the skin.

A bit of colour doesn't hurt!

Post exhibition home

A number of Studio IUS models have been rehoused in my office. Please give me a knock if you really want them - otherwise I will look after and show students next year (which would be great)!
