A significant innovation in this context is the DAO, which is a "Decentralized Autonomous Organization". A DAO is a blockchain-based organizational structure that operates decentralised, enabling transparent and collaborative decision-making and facilitating participatory governance. In this article, we'll explore what exactly a DAO is and why it's relevant and important to the AEC industry. What is a DAO?

Instead, decision-making is carried out collectively and transparently, through voting based on ownership of tokens or units of the DAO's native c

To ensure these views are in a manner that matches your current office drafting standards and to 'tell the story' you will need to do 2D drafting at some stage. Revit keeps it simple and generally has enough for what you need. Some of the items include: • Detail lines Use the Detail Line tool to draw detail lines to provide additional information to the model geometry in detail views and drafting views. • Filled regions  Create a view-specific graphic that fills an area with a pattern. You can use filled regions when detailing a view or creating an annotation family • Detail components  Detail components are line-based 2D elements that you can add to detail views or drafting views. They are visible only in those views. They scale with the model, rather than the sheet. Detail components ar
