Have we been BIM Washed?

First, I hope that everyone knows about the new BIM Engine Blog by the Graphisoft US team. Check it out: http://blog.graphisoftus.com/


Second you must read this article because this has me quite irritated and I am sure many of you may feel the same. http://blog.graphisoftus.com/graphisoft/have-we-been-bim-washed

CNBC did some bad reporting and are totally to blame, but then Autodesk decided to run with it. See pic of Tweet below. Posted by AutodeskAEC on April 28th.


I am actually surprised it hasn't been mentioned here before now.

Also, posted on Autodesk's facebook. I hope they had a good laugh about it. It is easy to take the low road.

I particularly liked the part toward the end:

Graphisoft does get a chuckle out of this sad-news story: "Of all the thousands of Revit users in North America, they evidently could find none that are using Autodesk building information models to build buildings better, cheaper and faster. So they highjacked one of ours."
