What is the Fix the Weekly Model Sync Breakage course about?

In advanced academic architecture projects, especially at institutions like the Bartlett, students integrate multiple software environments , Revit for BIM, Rhino for form, Grasshopper for computation. Each week, merging incremental changes across team members leads to broken links, mismatched units, and corrupted geometry. The sync process becomes a ritual of manual fixes, version rollbacks, and duplicated effort. This isn’t a one-time setup.

Who this is for

An the firm Architecture student working on complex, multi-software design projects requiring weekly integration of team models, facing recurring sync failures between BIM, CAD, and parametric tools.

Who this is not for

Students using a single design tool or working in isolation without model handoffs or integration requirements.
