Las piscinas prefabricadas son aquellas que no son construidas en sitio si no que son transportadas hasta allí y solo deben instalarse, pueden ser enterradas, semienterradas o elevadas.
Las piscinas elevadas son un bloque fijo que se situa encima de la tierra, no necesita de excavación alguna y suelen ser ovaladas o circulares en su mayoria aunque también las podemos encontrar cuadaradas y como no rectangulares. 

REVIT Architecture has come a long way since I started using it in 5.0. A steady upward curve of advancement in parametric design and building information modeling. Not to mention it’s so fun to use every day. Well the fun is about to kick into full stride and everyone is going to be competing for the Dubai, UAE sky line using these new concept design tools.
Below are a few snapshots of what is to be released on April 16th.

We have recompiled the much beloved Drawing Tabs MDITabs.ARX application for both 32bit and 64bit versions of AutoCAD 2010. MDITabs allows you to see and quickly navigate open drawings in a series of tabs along the top of the drawing window.

To install you simply place the appropriate ARX for your version of AutoCAD 2010 such as 32-bit or 64-bit in your support path. Now use the AutoCAD command APPLOAD to load it, and …

Revit es uno de los programas CAD (Diseño y Dibujo Asistido por Computador) más interesantes de la actualidad; es tal vez el programa paramétrico más poderoso y versátil para trabajar en proyectos arquitectónicos.
Revit conserva en todo momento la coordinación entre todos los componentes de un proyecto arquitectónico. Considerando esto, es asombroso que el uso del programa sea tan sencillo, ya que el programa debe elaborar procesos complejos a medida que el arquitecto va introduciendo cambios al proyecto.

Ever since Microsoft launched Office 2007 the trend has undoubtedly shifted from the traditional interface employing menus and toolbars, to the “new and improved” ribbon. Users of vanilla AutoCAD got ribbonized with last year’s 2009 release. While a classic workspace was still shipped with the product, the ribbon was an integral part of the default workspace. On the other hand, Civil 3D users got a stay of ribbonization in the 2009 release, but 2010 is a whole different story.

Desde la antigüedad se han utilizado los recubrimientos cerámicos en infinidad de aplicaciones y como elemento arquitectónico. De antiguas civilizaciones como la griega, egipcia y romana conservamos restos de la utilización de baldosas esmaltadas en revestimientos exteriores principalmente con fines decorativos.  En la península Ibérica aún hoy podemos disfrutar de multitud de ejemplos de utilización de cerámica en la arquitectura de épocas como el dominio árabe, barroco y el modernismo catalán, lo que demuestra las cualidades de la cerámica para soportar sin alteraciones el paso del tiempo.

I heard of Revit users experimenting with Google SketchUp for presentations in an attempt to get a more natural “conceptual look” than Revit allows. Many Revit users also have AutoCAD available so I though it’s conceptual visual styles were worth trying. This sample is just a play Revit model but has a mix of default Revit walls, curtain wall and site elements.

SolidRocks is an Autodesk™ 3dsmax™ plugin which automates the complex process of rendering setup. It brings the best of the powerful V-Ray™ rendering engine without any knowledge of its internal kernel.
Just choose the image size and quality you need, and click Render. That’s all ! Don’t spend anymore time. Just clic render and achieve professional renderings.

An old command that many of us assume everyone else knows about is the FACETDEV system variable command. Use this system variable to smooth out those “curved” AEC objects.
AEC Facet Deviation
STEP 1: Key in FACETDEV and
change the setting to .1
STEP 2: The default is set to .5
You can also modify this setting in
Options AEC Object Settings

Vray Proxy es una herramiente que nos permite exportar en formato VRAY un objeto para luego poder duplicarlo en nuestra escena con todas las caracteristicas de Vray pero muchisimo menos pesado.  De esta manera podemos generar  cientos de copia de ese objeto sin que nuestra pc explote. Primero seleccionamos el objeto que queremos exportar, botón derecho y Vray mesh export:

La fachada ventilada es un sistema de revestimiento de los paramentos del edificio que deja una cámara ventilada entre el revestimiento y el aislamiento. En círculos académicos europeos, es considerado como el sistema más eficaz para solucionar el aislamiento del edificio, eliminando los indeseables puentes térmicos así como los problemas de condensación y obteniendo de este modo un excelente comportamiento térmico-higrométrico del edificio.

Here you have the program to download from rapidshare.
AutoCAD® Architecture software, the version of AutoCAD® software created for architects, supports a faster way of working. Purpose-built features for architectural design and drafting help you create construction documents more efficiently within the familiar AutoCAD environment.

Tone mapping is the process in which the colors of an HDR image are mapped to a normal image (LDR). In other words the dynamic range of an HDR image is reduced to fit into a normal image (LDR).  This HDR tutorial concentrates in tone mapping in Photomatix Pro 3.0. Besides tone mapping I’ll do some preprocessing and postprocessing in Photoshop.
 
In picture 1 you see how unprocessed HDR image looks like in Photoshop. It looks pretty bad because today’s monitors can’t display the dynamic range of an HDR image.

This course is a collection of step-by-step “follow-along” lessons and will guide you and show you how Revit Structure works.   Work Files are included.
Autodesk  Revit  Structure 2010 software integrates a multimaterial physical model with an independently editable analytical model for efficient analysis, design, and documentation. Structural engineers can create their own models or import architectural files from AutoCAD  Architecture or Revit  Architecture software.

Railing Styles and Custom Inserts
1Overview
Architectural Desktop has a fairly good Railing tool but when it comes to creating rather unique designs, the work can often prove perplexing. In this article we’ll share one of the most requested options.  All kidding aside, knowing how to create custom inserts for the Railing Style is a rather useful bit of knowledge because it will not only allow you to …
