E2019 – John Pierson

In this episode, the BIMThoughts crew has a candid conversation with John Pierson, Design Technology Specialist at Parallax Team. We talk about his dynamo packages and extensions, his work building Revit add-ons and why opens source and sharing are so important to the AECO industry. We also get into a couple of rabbit holes about VWs, and open source licensing…so as you can see this episode has something for everyone! https://bimthoughts.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/EP-2019.mp3 | Open Player in New Window Show Notes Episode Hashtag: #Doge Here is where you can find John and Parallax Team World Wide Web: John Blog: sixtysecondrevit LinkedIn: John Pierson Twitter: @60secondrevit Parallax Team Website: Parallax Team LinkedIn: Parallax Team Twitter: @PrlxTeam Check out the Parallax Teams “Products” page to learn about some of John’s Revit Add-ins.
