Creating value in any situation has always been an important part of the mantra of BIMWERX. Sometimes that value presents itself in quick social media blurbs or in full blog posts. Rather than bombard people with yet another software review or opinion on product features, we have dedicated this blog to being much more focused on helping our fellow BIM guys and gals and less focused on social media traffic. We hope to publish ideas, special tips, and tricks, and perhaps even offer a glimpse into our workflow. In all cases, we will try to add as much value as we can to the few minutes you spend reading our blog posts.
