To download this article model, along with any other issue content, see the AUGI | AEC EDGE Downloads section at http://www.augi.com/publications/augi-aec-edge/ Michael’s 3D modeling experience began in 1993. While beta testing a Macintosh 2D software called PowerCADD, he stumbled upon a relatively unknown 3D modeling program called DesignWorkshop. He became enamored with it and studied the program diligently. In time, he mastered DesignWorkshop and introduced it to two other firms. In1997, he got the chance to use DesignWorkshop extensively when a Santa Monica, CA architectural firm, headed by Architect Douglas Teiger (now with Abramson Teiger Architects), hired him. Mr. Teiger shared Michael’s passion in using 3d visualization for conceptualization, design and presentations. He encouraged and supported Michael with the use of this program for the next 4 years. After 9/11, Michael moved to Las Vegas where he worked for other firms. This time, he was using AutoCad and Sketchup. For 5 years, he concentrated on construction document detailing while honing his Sketchup skills. His Revit experience began in 2006 when he got hired by Friedmutter Group, a well known architectural firm that specializes in large scale Hospitality and Entertainment projects. With this company, he was able to use Revit fulltime in generating construction documents of multi-million dollar casino projects. Noticing the lack of quality families geared towards the casino industry, he began to investigate how to create these complex furniture. Eventually, he became obsessed with creating Revit families. After work hours and during weekends, he delved into anything pertaining to the Revit family editor. What started as nightly experiments became a serious hobby when he amassed hundreds of families of appliances and furniture. The fruit of all this labor is his website, www.littledetailscount. com, which he launched in March 2010.
