It is time for our annual survey of engineers and designers in the MEP industry to learn about their experiences using building information modeling (BIM). We would appreciate it if you could take a few minutes to fill out our survey. The results, including a comparison with surveys from previous years, will be discussed in a future newsletter.
(Editor's Note: The survey has ended.)
You can read the results of last year’s survey here.
Survey Hack for Busy People: Just answer the first two multiple choice questions, then click "Next". You don't even have to finish the survey. We would appreciate answers to all of the questions, but three quick clicks is still a big help.
Weekly training is available every Thursday at 1:30pm Eastern time.
Complete details about the training are available on our website.

We are working on updating all of our documentation. Here is a list of what we have most recently finished working on:
Electrical User Manual: Updated for release 8.5.
Electrical Tutorial: Last updated in 2012, the electrical tutorial was restructured and updated to account for all the changes since then. The tutorial is our recommended starting point for all new users to learn the software.
Knowledge Base: The knowledge base is a collection of articles covering a variety of topics, which are largely based upon support questions we have received about all of our programs. These articles have been organized to make browsing the topics easier. An improved search bar has been added to make it easier to find a specific topic.
