00:22Assalamu Alaikum, may the mercy and blessings of Allah be upon you.
00:24I hope you all will be friends with Kharit.
00:27And my many prayers for all of you.
00:29You all know that I am a Revit lecturer.
00:35I want to upload all the Revit Architects templates.
00:39But before uploading I want to
00:41That your foundation will be built and you will also know this
00:44Where did the rivet drive come from?
00:47And what company was there before that?
00:49Which company was this softrail supposed to run with?
00:52What was his name?
00:53When did he almost faint?
00:56And what was the sequence?
00:58I want to make all these things a career.
01:00So that whatever foundation you have is very good.
01:03If someone comes to you
01:05If one asks what a rivet was
01:07So you should also know what Revit means.
01:12Look good.
01:13If we talk about Revit
01:15So what is BIM?
01:17BIM Cementitious
01:19Or if we talk about Cementy Five
01:21So until then, BIM
01:23The process was encapsulating.
01:25But there was no such tool for BIM.
01:27Which completes this process.
01:29Okay, so a lot.
01:31There were many difficulties.
01:34Because of which
01:35Which is
01:37This process is currently
01:39Could not be started and this
01:41About two thousand or two thousand five
01:43I came here and started it.
01:45Good Charles River
01:47Charles Revere was a softie.
01:50Software
01:55In nineteen ninety-seven
01:57On the eighteenth of October, nineteen ninety-seven.
01:59A Charles River
02:00There was a software that was the Charles River Company.
02:03He made it okay.
02:05There were two people in it.
02:07Okay, that's very vegan.
02:09There were people of the kind who
02:11Leonid Ryaz
02:12Aaron was a genius. These two people were
02:16Who made this software?
02:17It was done and
02:19The advantages of this software were
02:21That they wanted this software
02:23It should be like this.
02:25Which is parametric stuff.
02:27Can you support them?
02:29So in this way
02:30These two brothers
02:33There were or two people who were
02:34Okay, these are very vegan people.
02:37Were and
02:38Okay, this is a lot of the world.
02:41It wasn't Stranger, that's right.
02:42In AR software development
02:44were working and
02:46What did they do?
02:49That which is a PT
02:51C Pro Engineer Software
02:53For mechanical design, they
02:54They arranged it, they made it.
02:56For mechanical design
02:58Bur the head e grander vision
03:00But what a waste of time they had.
03:02Bright was right, whatever they thought.
03:05It was the world to come.
03:06Where will it be, which way will it move?
03:09What kind of things will happen?
03:10All those things are very dear to them.
03:12His vegan address was okay.
03:14So what have they done?
03:16That such a revolutionary
03:18The type of software that is configured
03:20Okay, that's it.
03:23Which now BEEEEEEEE
03:24No matter how much processing it has,
03:26He was supporting.
03:29After that
03:31Whatever is theirs
03:32What was the original mission of the bicycle?
03:34The mission was to create such a
03:36Software should be created that
03:38Full means completely.
03:40Be parametric. Be parametric.
03:42It means that a
03:44Be a dynamic software
03:46Which if you do
03:48that there is no one inside it of any kind
03:50If it's done in a mood, it's done in a mood.
03:52All the components of each other
03:54Attached to and if
03:56You touch a component.
03:58Let's change the second component.
04:00The shape of what is with it
04:02Or its location or place changes.
04:04Okay, so this is parametric.
04:06The design is parametric design.
04:08That you change something in one place.
04:10You change in other places too.
04:12Okay, so what was the concept?
04:14No, he is very connected to some extent.
04:16Was it very similar or very close?
04:18It was BEEMK.
04:20With process
04:23So
04:24In it, they also
04:26I had kept the option with me that if
04:28We call it a mechanical process.
04:30Will you use it or refrigerate it?
04:32This industry is the same industry.
04:34This software moves like
04:36Okay, so inside it.
04:38The three dimensions within what is
04:40There should also be a figure plus inside it.
04:42Metadata should also be included.
04:44There should also be integration within it.
04:46If there should be collaboration, they should all
04:48Keeping an eye on things, they
04:50This offroader was designed
04:52What is and what is after that?
04:54Whatever its geometry, 3D geometry
04:56There should also be and this aftermarket
04:58While designing
05:00They didn't.
05:02Whatever the name is.
05:04As I said.
05:06The first one is four sears.
05:08was named after him but later
05:10They named him Joe Reeves.
05:12Okay, then retweet.
05:14What they named it is.
05:16What was the tribe, right? And in it they
05:18Tried to be graphical
05:21Information is also complete.
05:22will be present inside the modal and
05:24Non-graphical information is also available in this model.
05:26will be present within
05:28Okay.
05:30And the same non-graphical
05:32and graphical information data
05:34Your teaching is being done, 3D figures are being made, and collages are being made.
05:38If there was integration, this Sarah was very close to you, Beam.
05:42According to the process of, we can say that the process of the beam
05:46There is no one in the world who can fulfill this.
05:50There was software in the system that could run it, it would take it forward.
05:55It could be that it wasn't just in the same place or at the same time.
06:00There were various other softwares in the world, including
06:03Archie is a quad, and Reflex is a tech, so these two softwares were ahead.
06:08Which used to follow the same process as the Wikiwall Building Model.
06:14Those who create virtual models in 3D have a weight set in 3D.
06:18Rivet apart from the crucial differences, but within what was Rivet
06:22Which is to say, there were two very big differences, so I couldn't be more excited.
06:28Gained popularity and is very popular within the industry.
06:31What is is started to be used and many people have used it
06:35He also did the dab, like the first one,
06:41That was it, see parametric components instead of controlling
06:45Individual visual components via some cryptic programming language are fine.
06:49That is, we use whatever language we want.
06:53If we control the components through them, they will eliminate it.
06:57What and what is the parametric component inside this rivet?
07:01Developed, that is, parametric type of dynamic type of
07:05Functionality developed due to which different
07:09The components are interconnected with each other and this
07:12In a way, what is there has started to affect them or is that change?
07:15When things started to happen, a revolution came, a revolution was started, and we played
07:20Ask the user to program you, okay, or as you like.
07:24Programs are written in C#, within C# or within .NET.
07:28You have programs inside you, he made you a program and its
07:32After that, you should develop the parameter components, but it wasn't them.
07:36The parameter type of the software is OK, in which you have them.
07:39Using the family editor to create different components
07:43There is a quality, that too has been developed, okay, and after that, there are other things.
07:49Also interconnected or interlinked with each other, so it's okay.
07:53You can't say what kind of software was developed that
07:57Object base was OK. Object base means that if there is a window,
08:00The whole window is there, if there is a table, then the whole table is there, it's like assembling
08:04Digital Lego bricks were the same way you would have as a child.
08:09They are small and they have Lego blocks. From these blocks
08:12They arrange them in different shapes, just like they did with rivets.
08:16We have also created different things within you, which is what you have created.
08:20When I started making things different from the shape, the second thing was what to do with it.
08:26What happened that the beam of the beam was broken, that is, the world that is the beam?
08:30What is effective within is starting to get small, okay, Revit.
08:54They all beamed, whatever the merits of the process were.
09:00There was integration, there was collaboration, there was coordination.
09:04I started to think of all the things that were there, so I went to the beam.
09:08It's okay if you don't die inside, and the process of the beam is complete.
09:11Two or three software engineers could have come into the world to complete it.
09:15They have arrived, one of which was Rivet, the other was Achi Wright, and the third was Reflex.
09:19Okay, that's how software entered the world, after that, what's yours?
09:29Charles Rivet was a softie, he continued to travel the journey he had.
09:34Okay and okay, whatever is different, it separates them from the tour.
09:40Okay, so your rivet came out of the rivet bin.
09:45And the rivet is inside the various underground государized which is disease.
09:47Okay, you also have Revit ME. Revit ME.
10:00What comes after that, if you look ahead, another software, SolidWorks, was in 1992.
10:07In nineteen ninety-nine
10:11The brot in duty ah lem note ok ese o in dir brot encuador luminaries like john hilschick fander
10:22Off SolidWorks
10:22And John Ake created another new software called SolidWorks and Errol Wildford.
10:30The founder of CMD Group is right, so they appointed a new CO, right?
10:36This CV came and caused an explosion inside it, and after the explosion, even more software was created.
10:42It is okay to develop the same process by taking the beam process and making it.
10:48Look at what's good after that, then Riot, which is in January 2000, approximately.
10:57Its name had become Riot, Riot had arrived, and it was starting to be used in various industries.
11:03Done.
11:06Well, the auto dealer that was in 1922 was the same as the auto dealer that was in 1922.
11:13Those who were inside were standing on auto care, okay?
11:17What did they do that they didn't buy it for one hundred and thirty-three million dollars?
11:23From
11:25By buying it for one hundred and thirty-three million dollars and using it as a tool for your own company,
11:31Made it and inside it there are many enhancements and many modifications, okay?
11:38And that's how Riot came to light, according to the AutoDice tool we have.
11:45Their tool is
11:46So as far as I know, it wasn't their tool, it was another company's tool, right?
11:51It is and it has been like this step by step, and it has been like this mode, and it is like this mode.
11:58It would have happened.
11:58Autodex came up and Autodex thanked Shukriz for his name, Riot Riot, so his first name was
12:03But it improved it, it improved it, and it is what is inside the industry.
12:08Starts to smell.
12:14Okay, that's the whole process, I hope you understood it completely.
12:21And it must have also been unclear where the rivet came from.
12:25Where did the Marche come from and what were the companies that built it before it?
12:31It was and later at what time and in what year was it named Riot and Riot was born in it?
12:36which started to be used around the world
12:39So this was the history of the revolution. Okay, so today's lecture is about this. InshaAllah, in the next lecture.
12:46I will explain some other things later.
12:48You will keep your choice, Insha Allah. May Allah have mercy on you.
