Learn more about
1. The shift of BIM education	5. Connect2share
2. Orthographic views in your design process	6. Webinars on-demand
3. Checklist for AEC information security	7. Learning material available with your Naviate
4. Supporting e-learning

1. Our Symetri UK company Excitech wrote a post on the shift of BIM education (blog post)

"When delivering education virtually we needed to consider the comfort of all delegates and their facilitator, so we quickly concluded that two hours of education plus a fifteen-minute break midway was the perfect length of time."

2. Lumion 11 included orthographic views (product news)

"You’ll be able to instantly transform your standard documents into polished, images and videos, and maintain continuity with your other renderings without having to rely on other software. You can make static or even animated plans, sections, elevations and isometric views, and express the simple yet beautiful perspectives of your vision throughout the design process."

3. BIMTrack created a checklist for essential AEC information security (blog post and video)

"With much of the world working remotely and companies making rapid technological adaptations, there’s no better time to have a conversation around information security."

4. To secure e-learning for your team, Pinnacle have an overview on how e-learning can support your team and what kind of training material you will find there (blog post)

"Our AEC e-learning platform offers comprehensive, expert-developed software training for the architecture industry, as well as the engineering, construction, and manufacturing fields. For architects you can find training options for these five tools: Revit, BIM 360, AutoCAD, Bluebeam and Autodesk 3ds Max."

5. Earlier this year Symetri held #connect2share to help the industry digitalise at a faster pace and want to help companies to move up the different levels of the BIM scale. Here's a few of the presentations from the event (video)
