After 12 years on WordPress, The BIMsider has a new home! 🎉
I teamed up with Claude Code for a fun AI-assisted rebuild, with a fresh look and plenty of new features.
WordPress was good, total control is better. 😉

#AU2026 is in the books! 🎰
Back in Vegas, back on the AU stage, back with the SME program, and plenty of time at the @NewformaInc booth.
It wasn’t quite the AU of old, but it was still a pretty great week.
Full recap 👇

#AU2026 is over, and I’d like to say thanks to everyone who came to my panel, stopped by the @NewformaInc booth, or just said hi in the halls
My favorite part of AU is always connecting & reconnecting with the great people in the AECO industry
Until #AU2027 👋
If you aren't sure whether you should Buy it, Build it, or Hack it, then have I got a panel for you! 😜
My #AU2026 panel session is today, September 16, 2026, at 1:30 PM PDT, and I'm lucky to have four AI Mavericks to tell it like it is!

Orkestra 2.4 is out. 🚀
Summer's over, and we've been busy 😁 !
The big one: your tools' bugs now report themselves. Failed runs land in an Analytics inbox right inside Revit, Rhino, AutoCAD, Civil 3D and Navisworks, before anyone writes a ticket. One click sends the run to OkPy Agent, which reads the error and proposes a fix.
Also in 2.4:
→ Attach a Dynamo or Grasshopper graph, a failed run, or another OkPy tool as a reference for OkPy Agent
→ Autodesk Construction Cloud toolkit: sign in and publish to ACC from your tools
→ Orkestra Hosting and OkPy tool version comparison in the desktop app
→ Full support for the .NET 10 builds of Revit and Civil 3D 2025/2026
→ A Public API to publish packages and manage Hosting Spaces
Full release notes and download in the comments. 👇

Dynamo 4.2 is out and it's a big one. Autodesk Assistant now ships built in, with DynamoMCP under the hood so it can actually build, run, and fix your graph instead of just talking about it. Been testing this myself for quite some time, and honestly, I wish I had it when I was learning Dynamo.
Read more about it here: dynamobim.org/dynamo-core-4-…

here's a new open source revit add-in that builds intentionally awful models.
Levels named "Top-ish". Views called "3D - FINAL - FINAL2". Comments that just say "check w/ JP".
It's for testing audit tools. Run it twice with the same settings and you get the same mess both times.
I know you've all seen worse than I can come up with. If you've got a favorite bad modeling habit, throw it in an issue and I'll add it. github.com/johnpierson/Crapp…

In my last post about @OrkestraOnline 2.2 release , I mentionned the new Orkestra Hosting, and called it a big deal. Here's proof : a tutorial showing how to build a cloud based Revit wall type library with OkPy in under 1 hour.
This is one example out of infinity. Go build something great with OkPyAagent! 🚀 😁
Link to tutorial in comments, video incoming!

Accidentally recorded an entire month in slow-mo at 240p? Same. 😅
So I (and codex) made SloMoFix—a tiny PowerShell + FFmpeg tool that batch-converts DJI video/audio pairs, speeds video up 8×, and keeps the audio normal.
Open source under MIT. 🎥⚡ github.com/johnpierson/SloMo…
The #AU2026 catalog is live!
