Do any of my #BIM contacts have experience of linking a Morta TIDP directly to Revit drawing sheets, so we're not manually re-entering the same information?
Previously we've used Ideate BIMLink to import sheet parameters from an XLSX TIDP.
Absolutely shocking service from @WestMidRailway today with 0824, 0924 and 1024 from Worcester Foregate St to University and Birmingham New Street all cancelled.
Yes I know about #delayrepay but that doesn't replace the conference I've now missed!

If BIM feels expensive, imagine the cost of ignorance. Every clash caught digitally is a disaster avoided physically.

Thanks to Dave in the @ForegateBoard ticket office for explaining the 8:24 @WestMidRailway train to Birmingham was running, despite not appearing on any boards, announcements, or the App.
It's a week early for a Ghost Train!

Sadly I live too far from @Bookishcrick to go and see this talk by @Beathhigh on his latest #Rebus novel, Midnight and Blue, so I've ordered it from them instead.

@DavidBurdus @Tanni_GT curious for your thoughts on this "for mobility assistance, please wait here" marked zone that has appeared at my local station. It's outside the Information office painted on the platform, next to the ramps. However the platform is narrow and very busy 1/

Do you consider it helpful to a wheelchair user? Is it patronising? Is it good practice?
Could it be better located?
How do the size constraints align with actual chair sizes? What if you don't fit in the box? It feels like wheelchair users are being treated as cabin baggage.

If you can spare 20 minutes today, you could help save a life.
Today is World Suicide Prevention Day, so I’m encouraging everyone to complete Zero Suicide Alliance’s training to learn what to do if a loved one, colleague or stranger is in crisis.
Please help us spread the word.
For those in FM who want a glimpse of a digital future for Estates, look at @TheBIMViking and his @autodesk Tandem webinar.

This is structured using NRM3 and @unibham_estates bespoke parameters, but could easily be Uniclass2015 and COBie.

@BikeWorcester are celebrating a year of ‘Bike Bus’ on the school run.
Parents & volunteers ride in formation to ensure children are kept safe.
We are supporting Bike Worcester to promote safe, accessible cycling & increase activity levels in the county. bit.ly/3yiocYD
The lack of traffic jams on The Tything / Barborne Road / Ombersley Road in Worcester must mean the private schools have broken up for the summer...
Today's list of things that shouldn't be in the bike & bus lane:
1. Sainsbury's delivery van
2. skip delivery
3. beer delivery
4. diversion sign (not yet in force)
5. Cyclists (going the wrong way)
6. Cars undertaking traffic
All these force cyclists into traffic.
