We are pleased to announce that Ideate Software Technical Evangelist, Richard Taylor, was recognized as one of the top 10 speakers at RTC North America. Read the story from RTC Events. Richard will also be giving this presentation at RTC Europe later this month. If you weren't able to catch him at RTC North America - be sure to catch his presentation or say hello at booth #10 if you will be there. Read on for more details about Richard and auditing your Revit projects.

AUDITING YOUR REVIT PROJECT:

Richard Taylor will be presenting "Auditing Your Revit Project With Ideate Explorer" during session 2.2 of RTC Europe 2015. Auditing and finding problematic data in a Revit project is a universal problem. In this class we will be using Ideate Explorer as a way to both uncover and fix potential problems within the Revit project. If you've ever wondered:

• Why is this file so slow?
• Where's my stuff?
• How can I make my life easier?

Richard's presentation will answer these questions and more, and all attendees will receive a complimentary copy of Ideate Explorer! To find out more about Ideate Software, we will be happy to chat when we see you at RTC Europe, or, any other day by contacting [email protected]

The fifth annual North America Revit Technology Conference was held at the Crystal Gateway Marriott in Arlington, Virginia on July 22nd through July 25th.

As part of the Keynote address on Thursday, July 23rd, Jim Balding brought to the stage the two founders of Revit Technology. (Leonid Raiz and Irwin Jungreis) A lot has changed since Charles River Software was formed in 1997, became Revit Technology in 2000, and was then acquired by Autodesk in 2002. Many "war" stories were told about the early days of Revit, and the early customers who signed up with the infant technology. Jim Balding, the event chairman of RTC North America, sat behind the "interview" desk and asked the two founders some intriguing questions about the early days. (Did you know it was originally going to be called Perspective?) One by one, Jim invited original Revit Technology employees on stage for a short interview and tidbits about the early days. Ideate Software's own Technical Evangelist, Richard Taylor, took his turn on the interview couch.

"It was a huge honor and quite humbling to be onstage with so many people that changed the profession of architecture, engineering, and design in such a dramatic way," said Mr. Taylor. "No one could predict the huge impact that Revit would have on the industry back in 2000 when it was first released. It's quite an honor to have the experience of working on Revit for over 15 years and being able to see the vast changes from the prerelease software to the current version. I'm thrilled to be part of Ideate Software and continue that tradition of innovation, productivity, and efficiency as we work to enhance the BIM experience for our customers."
