This Supersize Me class focuses on delivering large or mammoth projects with Autodesk® Revit® software. We will focus on three topics that can make or break a large Revit project.  First, we will show you how worksets and links together unlock the gates of a large Revit project, and how these two areas represent one of the fundamental pieces of having a successful large Revit project. Next, on any Revit project, when something gets deleted by accident, it can be painful. On a large project it can cause days or weeks worth of rework. We will show you how to protect Revit objects from being moved, deleted, or modified. Finally, we will take a hard look at families versus groups versus links. Unfortunately they have similar characteristics and often get used in place of each other. We will talk about each tool and discuss why and how they work, when to use them, and when not to use them. You will gain an understanding of why each tool can be both destructive or constructive to any Revit project.

Autodesk® Revit® MEP 2013: On Steroids!

Back and updated for the 2013 release, we are going to help you take your AutoCAD Revit MEP software to the next level. In this intermediate class you will learn how to get piping accessories (such as valves) to look the way you want for single-line and double-line piping. We will also look at how to define electrical panel schedules to match what the code reviewers want. For HVAC designers, we will explain how to create some nifty custom fittings. Finally, there are the fast tips for all users—everyday tasks made easy for your Revit MEP projects. If you've ever been to one of these classes, be prepared! This one's going to be as informative as it is fun!

Autodesk Forma for Structural Engineering: Let's All Work Better Together

Unleash the power of Autodesk Forma to revolutionize your structural engineering and design workflows. The architecture, engineering, and construction industry bears a $280 billion annual cost due to ineffective project data and communication. In this session, you will learn to master design changes and manage the intricacies of your designs through diverse design-review workflows in Forma Data Management software. Discover how to avoid expensive rework by finding model clashes using Autodesk BIM Collaborate software. Witness how Forma Takeoff software enhances the quality of your design through an effective model conditioning process. Explore Forma Build software to learn how to proficiently manage risk and quality during the construction phase, easily handling RFIs, submittals, photos, and site observations. Join us and step into a future of seamless design and construction management for structural engineering.

Autodesk® Quantity Takeoff: Visualize, Price, Communicate

This class will highlight the use of Autodesk Quantity Takeoff software to streamline the preconstruction process for creating cost estimates based on building information models from multiple sources. We will use a recent case study to show off the ability of Quantity Takeoff to maximize the translation of information from the intelligent models into the contractor's estimate. The presentation will highlight the workflow changes inherent when moving from traditional 2D drawings, binders, and spreadsheets to a dynamic, integrated 5D model. This process enables efficient identification and resolution of potential issues. You will learn how to visually communicate the various cost impacts on the estimate to the building owner, designers, and other project stakeholders during and beyond the preconstruction phase. Another Quantity Takeoff benefit is early collaboration between architect and contractor that leads to greater efficiency and reduced risk for owners during construction, at project turnover, and throughout the life of the building.

Optimizing Your Business Around Industrialized Construction

The construction industry is changing. Skilled labor is in short supply and increasingly hard to find. Contractors are becoming more specialized. Productivity across the entire process has become a larger focus. One’s carbon footprint is being factored into operational strategy. And by 2050, we’ll have 2.5 billion more people living in cities.

These trends call for a new way of designing and building — to help make increasingly complex projects, less complex and shift the industry from a “project” mindset to a “product” mindset. This shift will help make the architectural design process more efficient, allow subcontractors to you start fabrication faster, respond to bids sooner, spend less time creating manufacturing related digital documentation, and standardize/scale their overall ability to produce predicable work.

In this session, Autodesk's top thought leaders in Industrialized Construction will talk about how to successfully shift a business to align with these new developing industry trends.

Building Handover with Building Ops

Building Ops software is a mobile-first asset and maintenance management software for buildings. It helps general contractors deliver a better handover experience and building owners begin operations on Day One—while better meeting the needs of their mobile workforce. In this instructional demo, general contractors and building owners will learn how to realize the value of Building Information Modeling (BIM) in operations by using Building Ops software. We will publish equipment from Revit software and BIM 360 Field software, set up a preventive maintenance schedule, and show attendees how to connect a building in Building Ops software with a building monitored with Panoramic Power sensors. This session features Building Ops, BIM 360 Field, and Revit. AIA Approved

How to Be a Recognized Building Ops Implementation Partner

Forma Building Ops Implementation Partner Recognition Program recognizes service providers who have proven success with helping customers establish effective asset and maintenance programs with Building Ops software. The goal of the Building Ops Implementation Partner Recognition Program is to assist customers in identifying a partner that will help them meet their operational goals. This session features Building Ops.

Building Ops: Cross-Platform Workflows for a Mobile Asset Management Solution

To date, created and collected asset data has been siloed within its respective native software, forcing users to extract information from each software and aggregate it to create a custom electronic deliverable. This is a very time-consuming manual process with inconsistent deliverables to owners. Cross-platform workflows in the Autodesk, Inc., suite has enabled information to be passed from one software to the next, resulting in a more-aggregated, seamless deliverable. Class attendees will learn how to capitalize on the Autodesk suite of products (Navisworks software, BIM 360 Glue software, BIM 360 Field software, Building Ops software) to efficiently tie the intelligent model and collected asset data together for better use and navigation of the closeout deliverable. We will highlight a recently completed project that adopted Building Ops software as an asset management tool, gaining efficiency in the facility management process. This session features Building Ops, BIM 360 Field, and BIM 360 Glue. AIA Approved

Reinventing Autodesk® Revit®: Concept to Fabrication

Learn to take your conceptual designs beyond the marketing image through to fabrication. This class describes the solution that we implemented for one of our clients recently where we took an Autodesk Revit conceptual mass to fabrication using Autodesk® Inventor® software. The class will demonstrate the workflow developed to take us from the design brief (a marketing image and five sections), into the conceptual massing environment in Revit software. Here we defined, panelized, and optimized the façade design before coordinating with the proposed steelwork design. This coordinated design was then taken into Inventor to create the fabrication detail necessary for automated fabrication and delivery to site. The final stage of this workflow saw the panels transferred back into Revit to coordinate and design the final supporting bracketry. This class showcases the workflow from Revit to Inventor and back again and highlights the benefits of adaptive components and massing tools to realize your designs.
