Odorizzi: Current Thoughts on Term Project

This is going to be a very broad post about my current thoughts on a project topic. I am hovering between three of the large topics: BIM, A.I. and sensors.

The case for BIM: I am familiar with Revit, and it is seemingly the most practical and relevant topic because I will use Revit in industry. Hence - it may be good to build a deeper understanding of manipulating a Revit model. For example, it would be nice to build from scratch a Revit model that contains a complete architectural, structural, and HVAC model (like it is done in the real world). But I’ve never done HVAC in Revit before - so that would be a lot to chew.

The case for A.I.: I am very interested neural networks and how they work… and I’m getting acquainted with Bixby, but this does not have the same degree of applicability as the others.

The case for sensors: I think it would be interesting to dive into some of the surveying equipment that I have used out in the field. The first tools that come to mind are investigating exactly how a laser tape works, or there are drill bits that will measure the resistance when drilled into wood to deem whether the wood is rotted or not. It would be interesting to learn how these work and how their accuracy is established.
