Project Spotlight: Sierra Towers Cabinetry

This project is cabinetry heavy and…

Project Presentation: Woodrow Wilson

Continuing from last week’s post, this week we have another project that we presented through PowerPoint via Zoom.

Things We Love: Quick 3D Views from Revit

Continuing our February LOVEFEST, lets talk about the power of BIM and the quick production of 3D views.  Not everyone can look at a 2D drawing (plan or elevation) and understand the 3 dimensional space.  Why not use those super detailed BIM models to create views so that our Clients can see what we see!…

Presentation Graphics & Render Styles

Here@Hayne we don’t conform to one way of presenting our work to clients.  Each team member has their own style and preference when it comes to presentation styles. All Hand renderings (a favorite of the big man Robbin Hayne) Straight out of the Box Rendering (not particularly our favorite style…) Overlay – Compter +  Collage …

REVIT Best Practices: Setting up a Project Template Part 4 – Schedules

One of REVITs most powerful functions is its ability to embed a lot of information into your model and schedule it.

REVIT Best Practices: Creating a Project Template Part 1 – Mental Preparation
