Santiago posted this on the forum yesterday and said
If anyone’s interested in knowing how this was modeled, please let me know. Otherwise, next time I randomly find another 20 minutes, I’ll randomly take this model further ahead in some random direction.
So….. Please let him know. Cause I am 
Thanks for posting Santiago!

Software : Autodesk Inventor
Level : Beginner
Description : By default Inventor sets the Y axis as UP. For architectural modeling this is a real in pain. If you import/export models they will come in sideways. In this quick video we will cover how to change that setting with the view cube. (Thanks to Josh Emig for teaching me this trick, and pretty much anything i know about inventor)

So… there has been a great conversation on the DesignReform forum about the use of Revit and Inventor to further the direct to fabrication work flow. The conversation started with Santiago from StructureCraft posting a few images of the 2010 Richmond Olympic Oval project. Below is the text posted on the forum and some more images from the StructureCraft website.
