Revit Structural

August 13, 2010

Eclipse has added the Revit Structural Suite to our arsenal.  Revit is an industry leader in what is referred to as Building Information Modeling or BIM.  BIM has been the ‘buzz’ in the A/E community for the last few years and is the way of the future.  Today BIM can offer many benefits including:  reduced field conflicts during construction (spacial coordination), improved collaboration and understanding of the design intent, and a great means of presentation to owners.

Other benefits are emerging as the software evolves and the design community buys in to the technology.

Check out this pdf (REVIT ) to see an Eclipse project that is under construction alongside the Revit 3D rendering.

Bringing Down the House

March 15, 2010

As we sit here in our offices designing new structures to resist the forces of mother nature, a building across the street is coming down.  With the completion of the new First Interstate Bank office building, the adjacent structure has become obsolete.  Do you think operating that piece of machinery is a fun job today?

Company Bowling

October 30, 2009

Sometimes it’s intimidating working with such great athletes.  The Missoula office congregated for a company bowling extravaganza last week.  Lynn Gmeiner took home the most coveted trophy for Low Game…
IMG00096-20091022-1535…not only low game of the night, but low game in the history of bowling.  His 51 left those of us who witnessed it amazed at his uncanny in-ability to knock pins down with his bowling ball.  Troy Leistiko had the high 3-game series at 360.  A few beers and some tasty deep fat fried vittles completed a great outing.
