Is it possible the bolt from the clamp? Looks about the right size. I can't for the life of me imagine how it got inside the fixture though...

So...........What are the reports they're asking for?

Also important to note. As long as you maintain the transparency that @MNicolai referred to, most vendors will give a special pricing advantage to the first group to register the project, which would be the ones that are doing your demos. No one else would know about it. That both protects...

Assuming it is similar to the non-IP rated version, I Was pretty happy with the prisms when I demo'd that version.

I draw a lot of structures, indoor and outdoor, that get stamped and certified. I have the exact same motto. Either I'm comfortable for my kids to sleep on that stage, or I don't put it up.That being said, a high wind action plan is ALWAYS a part of that certification. Either something...

I don't see anything about the construction that jumps out at me as obviously wrong. What is painfully obvious is that they either didn't have, or weren't implementing, their high wind action plan.It does look like the wind level was rising rapidly, but it was blowing pretty hard at the...

Vectorworks added a rendering engine that uses AI to apply styles to your drawings/renderings. I haven't attempted to use it yet, but could be an interesting tool for iterating on design ideas and pitches with a client with less effort.I haven't seen it discussed anywhere yet, but where I'm...

Everyone's experience with being at the bottom of the excrement flowing hill is exactly why anyone sitting in the position of figuring this out needs to do it collectively with the team, and have conversations early and often.We all have a back pocket full of horror stories that the lack of...

ME with a programmer? The programmer likely has generated all the paperwork for that already. ME with an LD? Almost certainly the ME set it all up. As the ME is responsible for all cabling and physical layout, the task of addressing frequently falls to them.After all that....work together...

It seems a lot of faculty position compensation is based on the assumption that the faculty also works outside the university at least summers, if not freelance things during the regular school year. Even though if you asked administration, they wouldn't admit that, or even necessarily know...

Are the tops getting attached or tied off at all?
