Live Sessions

In this live session, our team walked through the full feature set of Project Central, your real-time dashboard built into Revit. You’ll learn how to monitor sync traffic to help your team sync consistently, send and receive model or firm-wide messages, get a real-time snapshot of model performance and activity, quickly identify and address conflicts with your company standards, understand who is active in the model and their actions, and customize the experience for your end-users.

In this live session, we explored how you can stay ahead of issues, boost team performance, and deliver the kind of results leadership wants to see. Whether you're managing a few projects or an enterprise-wide BIM strategy, this session will show you how to get more from the data you're already collecting.

In this session, we discussed all things Command Messages, including how to write effective messages, tips on setting command frequency and notifications, and an overview of our new style guide.

Is your Revit content feeling a little cluttered? In this live session designed for Guardian Administrators, we walk through the six steps of the Guardian Content Car Wash and demonstrate how easy it is to quickly clean your Revit content to align with your company's standards.

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.

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.

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.

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.

It is not uncommon to question the validity and value of our Revit content or wonder how it compares to other firms. AVAIL and Guardian have teamed up to provide our clients with services to clean and organize their Revit content to work on getting their libraries closer to perfection. We were extremely fortunate to have RATIO Architects lend us its library to examine, clean, and provide best practices for optimization.
