I wish! More like 1/2 of 150k

That’s still good

I primarily work on my macbook and use a virtual machine (aka remote desktop). Hope that helps!

I can't really give a good answer because I still haven't figured this balance for myself. All I can say is that engineering is an amazing field to work and that you have to set the tone for how others and your company treats you. If you allow the company to make it self the #1 priority in your life, then that's exactly what will happen. So be proactive and transparent with your expectations when it comes to your work. Best of luck!

This is a great idea for a video! I will see what I can do :)

tell me about it. do you have an youtube channel ? so that i follow your journey as well

Thanks! I use a combination of revit and blender. Modeling everything in revit and animating/lighting/slight corrections using blender.

Thanks for the recommendation! I will definitely work on making it a habit to wear PPE on site visits regardless on how small they are👍

I appreciate it dude, and yeah I guess I can mention the software I use in future videos.

Thanks man :)

I graduated from university in December 2020.

I can't say for sure but from the amount of time and energy architects put into their projects (not necessarily ALL architects), they are definitely not paid enough! In university, the architecture program is also another year longer than engineering so there's that to also consider. I also believe you have to go to Grad school to get your masters in order to become a licensed architect (engineering only requires a bachelors degree). Which is more time/money to invest into your education. I'm definitely biased but I would wager engineers make more, at least for the for 10 years if not longer.

Thanks! Its the "Jarvis bamboo standing desk" by Fully. I ordered it online directly from the company.

I didn’t elaborate since it was a long and tedious step but I guess I should have made it clear what was happening. Since I was just printing out the exterior of the building, I wanted to make the whole model a solid block. This meant deleting everything within the model and then adding blocks/objects to fill the interior of the building. Another reason for this is to thicken objects that are too thin to print. I made that mistake on my first print which is why parts of the parapet were chipping off. I went back to the blender model and thickened the roof as well as the parapets. I guess you could try to do this in revit but it would require making families with thicker profiles and messing with other parameters. Hope that helps!

@@dmontenegro Hi Daniel, thank you so much for your help. I have been trying fuind these answes in KZfaq, reddit etc. but you compiled most of them here. Just another question, I have created several switchroom at work dimensions like Length 6m by 3 m, or 18m by 6m etc, these switchrooms are suppotred by Columns and bracings which are 75x75 SHS, when I scale down the 6m by 3m one, I have to scale down to 2.5% to fit the 3d printer, the STL becomes so thin it just prints some strands of plastic rather then a 300PFC Chassis. How do I get a proper scaled down solid model? Do you have any solution for that?

@@opencanvasih I came across this problem too. At the very end of the video I have 2 prints of the same model with slight alterations (model 1 was a complete print w/ minor warping, model 2 was a failed partial print). The parapets and roofs were paper thin in the first print, so I went back and extruded the faces in blender to thicken the walls of the members. Aside from the failed print (model 2), that portion of the building came out better than the first print. So tweaking the thickness will be the key to your problem. It wont be an "exact" scale model but it be close to it. So in blender you would have to edit the columns to be thicker in the x and y direction (x2 or x4 thicker than the actual column dimension). It will look weird and not be to "exact" scale but its the only way to get the column to print at all. When you scale your model down to fit in the print bed you have to look out for those members/pieces that are too thin or small to print. Either edit the model in blender to be thicker in certain areas or avoid including those members from the 3D print model.

Hey Theuns! Funny you ask, I'm currently working on a video for 3d printing revit models. But I'll share what I can now. I'm using Elegoo Saturn 2 resin printer (regretful purchase on my end), I strongly suggest using a 3d printer with plastic filament. Sorry I can't suggest any in that category but hopefully that helps weed out some printers (especially resin printers).

@@dmontenegro Thanks for the reply. I’ve got a few Revit projects I would like to print, so looking forward to the video!

Thank you!

Thank you for the kind words, really means a lot!

Hey Oscar! Thanks for thinking of me and suggesting a potential video. If you want to discuss more in detail, then please feel free to reach me through email or through LinkedIn. Thanks!

Hey Almira! The monitor is 34" (Model: LG 34WL850-W 34 inch 21: 9 UltraWide).

Sir , I want to something that makes me happy but I can't please atleast once guide me as senior need you help can we talk on phone contact no ???

You got this dude!

Hey Shivang! Thanks for asking, I do have a template that’s been helping me out. It’s nothing crazy, it’s pretty simple and does the job of keeping things organized. I didn’t think people would actually be that interested lol

Appreciate the kind words! And yes that's blender.

Thanks man, wish you luck on your goals!

I am not familiar with CSI ETABS, my work uses Bentley softwares for structural analysis. Edit: what are you thoughts? Any major differences that I should know about?

@@dmontenegro CSI ETABS user interface is user friendly and regularly updated, i am also exploring it and learning.
