What is a DAO and why does it matter to AEC?

-
Introduction Blockchain technology has revolutionized many industries worldwide, and the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry is no exception. 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? A DAO is an autonomous, organization-like entity that operates through smart contracts on a blockchain network. Unlike a traditional company, there is no hierarchical structure of power, nor the need for intermediaries such as managers or executives. Instead, decision-making is carried out collectively and transparently, through voting based on ownership of tokens or units of the DAO's native c...

How to Save Auto-CAD  Drawing as Read Only – is quite a difficult way to answer. The only way to answer this question is by giving different options for the user to Save Auto-CAD Drawing as Read Only. Let’s see some of them below. Save Auto-CAD Drawing as Read Only Some of the different methods are listed below please choose which is appropriate in your case. Method 1 – Use Save As Auto-CAD Drawing Files as DXF (Drawing Interchange Format, or Drawing Exchange Format is a CAD data file format developed by Autodesk), by this method you actually prevent the user to make any changes to your drawing files. Making the Drawing as Read-Only Files Method 2 – Ideally you could right click on the drawing file icon (once saved), go to properties and tick read only. Ahh, well that doesn’t “lock” the drawing or anything. they can still edit it, do a Save As, or simply unchecked the Read Only option for the file once they have it. Method 3 – In case you are on a Network, you can ...

Revit Tip: How to Slope Horizontal Steel Beam

Image
How to Slope Horizontal Steel Beam (with images) Issue: You have an existing beam that has a level as its work plane. You want to set its work plane to be a sloped reference plane, but only the reference planes or levels parallel to the beam are available when you edit the beam. Solution: To make the existing steel beam align with a sloped reference plane. Open an elevation or section view of the beam. Draw a reference plane parallel to the beam/slab using the Reference Plane tool on the Basics tab of the Design bar and name it by editing the reference plane properties. Select the beam. Click Edit Work Plane on the Options bar. Select Name and select the reference plane that you just created from the drop-down menu and then click OK. Draw a sloped reference plane using the Reference Plane tool and name it. Click Align to align the horizontal reference plane to the sloped reference plane. That's it. Bottom-line: After you made it, you ca...
