Fully integrated BIM, from design to construction. First project of its kind in Norway, and probably in the world being built. No drawings, fully integrated models that are being used directly in construction site, that's what we call "Going Paperless". Join us and learn what it takes to push boundaries, why and how do we have to that.

Customers in the AEC and Film & Television industries are transforming traditional workflows to accelerate the production of linear and non-linear, interactive content. From using virtual production technology on The Mandalorian, to building a digital twin for Wellington City for public engagement, we’ll explore how real-time technology opens the door to a new world of creative opportunities. This session will dive into how Datasmith is connecting the dots with Autodesk solutions like Forge, Revit, 3ds Max, Navisworks, and Maya. You’ll find out how Twinmotion and Unreal Engine are used to collaborate and engage with stakeholders and peers using Pixel Streaming and other methods. It isn’t all about AEC, as the session will also cover how real-time technology is changing the way films and TV shows are made. And while there won’t be enough time to get into all of the technical details, we’ll point you to free resources to learn how to achieve the same results.

Without a doubt, WIIFM are the 5 most important letters in your business. The only thing your customer cares about is, "What’s in it for me? Will this work for me?” A new class of consumers is emerging everywhere, and these consumers want control over the things that impact their lives, be it a game, a building, or a city. This means your customers will demand to understand how their products are made and how relationships with providers turn digital collaboration into physical artifacts, regardless of scale. To be successful, you’ll need to be part of this change. Join this Innovation Forum to gain key insights that will allow you to make it happen for your clients.

Arkio is a new collaborative design tool that enables designers to work together on buildings, interiors and urban plans using VR, AR, PCs, tablets and phones. In this session we will demonstrate Arkio live and show how it can be used to quickly sketch various design options on top of Revit and BIM 360 models and how the resulting designs can be exported back as native Revit geometry and families. During these live demos we will show examples of how Arkio is being used by architects, urban planners and educators. We will talk about how features like designing with parametric shapes, real-time program calculations, sun studies, sections and shared views are helping our users streamline their design process.

3ds Max Design rendering and animation software is extremely powerful. It can also be intimidating and overwhelming for the novice or casual user. This class will show you the specific workflows and tools you need to quickly and effectively create still images and animated sequences for visualizing building projects. We will cover specific settings to control both interior and exterior lighting (including night scenes), and easy yet effective methods to create animated walk-through sequences of a building. Stop getting lost in the miasma of tools that are unnecessary for building animation, and stop going down blind alleys. This class will focus strictly on the tools that you need to do your job.

In this hands-on lab, we demonstrate how to build a workflow in Autodesk PLM 360 cloud-based software. We cover planning the workflow and building and defining simple condition scripts, action scripts, and validation scripts. After the initial presentation, attendees work with PLM 360 to build out their own workflows.

In today's fast-paced world it is becoming increasingly important to know how to utilize the design information received to create the most efficient and accurate plan for the construction of the designed systems. We'll talk about how we work with design models outside of Building Information Modeling (BIM) coordination to get more accurate information to estimators, foremen, and electricians. There will also be a brief overview of how we approach the subject of prefabrication from an electrical view.

Attend a panel discussion led by Autodesk, Inc., subject-matter experts and architectural firms that are using the Dynamo visual programming language extension. Leave with an understanding of how the Dynamo extension is extending workflows based in Revit software and is helping architects to drive Computational Building Information Modeling (BIM) from the earliest stages.

The pandemic may have shut down live theater for now, but planning for future shows continues. A set for a live theater production is often a building that just happens to be built inside another building. After designing sets for numerous theater productions using 2D and 3D tools in AutoCAD software, the speaker switched almost exclusively to Revit software. In this class, we will discuss and explore the techniques the speaker used to design stage sets, why they switched to Revit, why they still use AutoCAD for some tasks, and why they have now added VR (virtual reality) to the technology mix. This class will cover workflows learned from this somewhat unconventional use of familiar software tools, as well as how to use phasing and design options to handle scene changes, and why directors love to don a set of VR goggles. We will also look at using other tools to create animated backdrops and special effects. Virtual set design is a lot like virtual building design, and many of the same skills and workflows can be applied to both.

Here we say goodbye and close out the conference.

Smart cities have become a landmark in urban planning. They are the result of knowledge-intensive and creative strategies aiming at enhancing the socio-econimic, ecological, logistic and competitive performance of citires. This session cover how disruptive technologies are being harnessed to deliver on smart cities of the future.

Factory Design Suite offers unique functionality that greatly simplifies the process of laying out and visualizing a factory design. However, don't let the word factory get in the way or color your view of this application. Anyone who needs to lay out a confined space or a floor with common design assets can take advantage of the workflow offered by Factory Design Suite. In this class, we look at specific functionality available in Factory Design Suite and demonstrate how it can be used in other layout workflows.

How can Building Information Modeling (BIM) workflows reduce the disconnect between document production and design intent visualization? This discussion will focus on taking a Revit BIM model into visualization and the production effort required. We'll cover a variety of visual communication platforms, from still images to panoramic images to interactive, dynamic virtual reality (VR). This roundtable will cover methods of accurate BIM visualization as well as isolated visual efforts with respect to production time and quality.

This engaging class is aimed at construction managers, quality managers, and executives from construction service providers who are evaluating the financial impact of Cloud and Mobile Construction Solutions, such as BIM 360 Field software and BIM 360 Glue software. We will explore a detailed and proven analysis tool for collecting project data and then analyzing and quantifying benefits. We will ask attendees to consider a hypothetical $100 million building project as a tangible example, and we will collect inputs from the audience to foster a collaborative discussion. We will then use the results to estimate a return on investment. Real-world metrics from existing projects and case studies will support each step of the process. The methodology can benefit construction professionals who are already using BIM 360 software on their projects and want to understand how the tools affect their key results areas; prospective users of BIM 360 software can also begin to consider which project areas would benefit from these new technologies.

This class will identify the Revit tools available for use with Fabrication Parts in Revit software, and we’ll demonstrate how to use them.

Discuss Revit 2020 (with Fabrication) workflows and custom automation tools, Fabrication ESTmep software, and Fabrication CAMduct software—all with focus on forecasting, procurement (estimating), preconstruction (BIM + spooling), shops and machines (tooling), multitrade fabrication, modular construction, and construction analytics.

This class describes DPR's implementation of integrated project delivery (IPD) to deliver breakthrough project outcomes and to make the digital assets developed for design and construction flow into the owner's systems to support whole-life facility management. Our clients seek reliable and predictable project outcomes. After handover, their O&M teams seek to reduce the total cost of ownership through building performance and by extending the service life of systems. These goals require us to rethink roles and relationships in terms of measurement and validation, knowledge transfer, and managing facility changes. Integrating design, commission, and test information with integrated workplace and building automation systems helps clients to manage buildings at a lower cost. We will share our experiences in working with clients who understand the business value of IPD based on shared models to achieve breakthrough project and building whole-life management outcomes.

In 60 minutes, you'll learn 60 all-new tips and tricks for Fabrication CADmep software, Fabrication ESTmep software, and Fabrication CAMduct software. No frills or long lectures-just a few product veterans in a tag-team-style, rapid-fire demonstration. This session will be fast paced, so we'll have no time for questions, but we'll gladly follow up with all attendees after Autodesk University to address any questions.
