Live Sessions

Our latest Office Hours session discusses some lesser-known features that can seriously boost your modeling efficiency and quality.

At AU 2024, Grimshaw's global BIM team presented on how they have utilized Guardian to successfully prevent issues before they occur, reducing QA/QC time by 70% within a year of deployment. This session discusses best practices and lessons learned on managing standards, guides you through the tools used, and analyzes the ROI achieved over several Grimshaw projects.

In our October Office Hours session, the Guardian team discussed Rules-Based Protections and how you can harness the full power of customized protections for your team. We covered key protection types, including hiding elements in view protections, group protections, mirror protections, copy/array protections, and delete protections.

Jake Martin, Director of Customer Success at Guardian, and Peter Johann, Co-founder and COO of Pirros, discussed how you can optimize and streamline your detail management process. Pirros and Guardian make a great pair for curating and managing your firm’s detail library. Pirros centralizes every detail your firm has produced and makes them accessible with a simple search, while Guardian ensures the graphical quality of your details aligns with your firm's standards.

Sync times are critical for firms when trying to limit downtime. It can be difficult to convince Revit users of the importance of more frequent Synchronize with Central to improve overall efficiency for themselves and the team as a whole, especially when they've spent years trying to avoid syncing. In this session, we reviewed the benefits of Sync Traffic Control, why you need this feature, and how to customize it for your firm.

In our first Office Hours session, the Guardian team covers the fundamentals of mapping configurations, helpful workflows, and answers audience questions. We also explore what we've learned from working closely with leading firms on standards strategies.
