The Hidden Headache in Revit: When Groups Go Wrong
Revit groups are supposed to let design teams reuse common elements across a project - or even across projects - without duplicating effort. But in practice? Groups can be one of Revit’s most painful features. It’s a widespread issue - and one Skema tackles head-on.
Skema Connects Rhino to Revit with Smart, Reusable Design Data
Skema 2025 unlocks a new level of design performance—by turning past project knowledge into future-ready solutions. With AI-powered Design Catalogs, no-code generative tools, and a seamless new integration with Rhino, this release delivers a smarter way to evolve early designs into high-trust BIM—without scripting or starting from scratch.
Design in Rhino. Deliver in Revit. Sync It All with Skema
The Skema for Rhino integration is rewriting the rules of design interoperability. If you’re still manually remodeling Rhino massing in Revit, then you know just how frustrating the process can be. This integration will allow your team to work smarter, your concepts to go further, and your BIM deliverables are just a button away. No scripting. No remodeling. No mismatches. Just momentum.
A Smart Playbook for New AEC Software
Instead of every vendor trying to build a jack-of-all-trades monstrosity, they can focus on doing one thing really well - and make sure it plays nicely with others. Read Richard Harpham’s take on Coopetition and what it means for the future of AEC software innovation
Culture Eats Strategy for Lunch: It’s No Different for AI
AI has the potential to help firms execute more intentional, informed decisions—eliminating inefficiencies that lead to approximate solutions and costly field issues. But without a clear understanding of your own firm’s culture, priorities, and balancing forces, AI could just as easily create misalignment as it could create value.
The AI Opportunity Gap: From Data to Insights to Decisions
For AI to truly revolutionize the AEC industry, it must move beyond static documentation and toward dynamic, real-time decision-making. AI tools that simply aggregate existing data will drive firms toward the safest, most common solutions rather than fostering innovation. AEC needs AI that delivers differentiated, high-value insights—helping firms make better decisions, not just organize past ones.
Why AEC Needs a Swiss Army Knife: The Power of Tool Chains
By properly implementing tool chains, AEC professionals can reduce data loss and inefficiencies in their workflows as they move between different tools. Skema is the only tool that is designed to support a native-data toolchain, instead of using object types and mapping to try to translate data between systems.
What Is Skema? 4 Crucial Questions Answered for Architects and BIM Managers
Skema takes aim at tedious, painstaking workflows. Niknaz Aftahi, founder and CEO of aec+tech and a trusted voice in design technology, explores how Skema challenges assumptions and redefines what's possible.
The Future of Computational Design: Where Scripts and Content Converge
Architectural design is at a turning point. By combining Skema’s content-driven approach with script-driven computational workflows, design teams can achieve faster timelines, higher-quality results, and more inclusive collaboration.
