It’ll also help if you’re familiar with typical architectural (I’m including structural, civil, & MEP here) document conventions and practices. That in mind, forget how you do it in CAD, you’re learning a new tool. You didn’t bring your protractor and T-square along to your CAD workstation, don’t assume that a familiar CAD workflow is practical. A crash course in something like Inventor (even Autodesk’s self-guided tutorials if they haven’t nerfed them) that teaches you to think about simple constraints, how they interact, and what you can do with them will make it much easier to think about how those constraints get much more complex when driving multiple assemblies. If you don’t grok how footings, foundations, walls, trusses, etc all work together, and actually get assembled, you’...

These are my Top 3 Books for A.I  For those of you who have read my A.I ( Artificial Intelligence ) Posts and are really interested in AI. Artificial intelligence  ( AI , also  machine intelligence ,  MI ) is  Intelligence  displayed by  machines , in contrast with the  natural intelligence  ( NI ) displayed by humans and other animals. In  computer science  AI research is defined as the study of " intelligent agents ": any device that perceives its environment and takes actions that maximize its chance of success at some goal. [1] Colloquially, the term "artificial intelligence" is applied when a machine mimics "cognitive" functions that humans associate with other  human minds , such as "learning" and "problem solving" These are my Top 5 Reads on A.I Number 1: This is one of my favourites.  Number 2: This makes into my number two... a good bed time read..  Number 3 - well suited for 3.0...
