The Navisworks integration with Autodesk Forma Model Coordination fosters collaboration among multiple stakeholders in a shared environment. It enables teams to allocate clashes to respective teams and flag them in authoring software for prompt resolution. Conventional clash detection workflows encounter challenges like nonstreamlined processes and prolonged procedures, as well as an absence of a shared collaborative environment, a need to sift through lengthy clash reports, inadequate documentation, and a lack of methods to assign clashes. Integrating Navisworks with Model Coordination offers a streamlined workflow and a closed-loop clash management system, and it provides comprehensive documentation and enhances coordination, productivity, and efficiency. In this lab, you'll learn to use the Model Coordination API in Navisworks for clash detection, and use the Issues add-in in Revit software for issue management and clash location, ensuring seamless coordination. Overcome your challenges and capitalize on the power of Autodesk tools.

The life of a model begins in design, or even in early concept stages, but it extends throughout the project lifecycle. It takes on new shape and functions. It's enriched as it progresses from one team to the next. And it acts as a living representation of the project long after handover. Join us as we discuss ways to break traditional silos between teams and use Autodesk's design and construction solutions to author, prepare, and use models. This interactive workshop presented by our product development team will focus on what's to come in Forma and beyond.

As a virtual design and construction (VDC) manager for a general contractor (GC), one of the largest headaches is making sure your subcontractors get their models uploaded to your Autodesk Forma hub on time, and that they're named correctly and in the right format to make Model Coordination work seamlessly. What if it didn't have to be that way? If your subcontractors also happened to be working in Autodesk Forma, it doesn't have to be. What if they just published their own models internally and all the sharing happened automatically? This class will cover how to use the Bridge tool in Autodesk Forma to enable automatic sharing of models between Autodesk Forma hubs to streamline model coordination. Not only will we cover how to share models from the subcontractor's hub to the GC hub and then on into your coordination NWF, but we'll also show you how to share models from one subcontractor to another to enable direct coordination between subcontractor Revit models.

AutoCAD (& verticals) Plant 3D, and Revit all have different workflows with ACC/BIM 360 projects and the Desktop Connector. After many challenging hours I believe I have finally found a way to explain the various ACC/BIM 360 workflows and would like to share this knowledge with everyone else who's also dealing with all these various workflows and collaboration options. Specifically, I'm going to cover working with Revit, Plant 3D, and Civil 3D (same workflows for AutoCAD) with ACC and/or BIM 360 projects. I'll also cover the Desktop Connector 15 and 16 and the differences we've encountered, good and bad.

Utilities, retailers, hospital operators, towercos, and other companies may need to digitalize large portfolios with thousands of existing facilities to complete their digital journeys—either to fully benefit from building information modeling (BIM) in design and construction or as a first step for the creation of their digital twins. Those same companies typically have an inventory database that is either incorrect or incomplete, but that has value nonetheless, since it may be used to connect said assets with other enterprise solutions, including maintenance and operations management. In this technical instruction session, we will present a workflow for the end-to-end digitalization of a portfolio of facilities using a component-based approach. This workflow starts with any existing inventory, uses it in Autodesk Forma Assets and Forms to capture on-site data, then switches to Forma Design Collaboration software and Forma Data Management software for the intelligent modeling of the facilities, and then again moves back to the Assets functionality for audit and validation.

We all have to start somewhere, and getting started is often the most difficult endeavor of all. In this class, we'll begin at the beginning, and look at how anyone can get started with Autodesk Forma. Come and see how the platform is more than just a construction tool for organizing and sharing project data. We'll look at Forma Data Management software and see how it may be used as a common data environment (CDE) that follows ISO 19650 procedures and respects the information management method defined in the standards. With Autodesk BIM Collaborate and Forma Design Collaboration, we can work collaboratively with Autodesk Forma. Also, we’ll take a look at Forma Build software's toolset for the management of all of our project information, as well as Forma Takeoff software's real-time estimation view.

This case study session will explore the benefits of using Forma Takeoff software to use quantification data as a design tool throughout the building design process. As architects, we often overlook the importance of quantification and cost during the early phases of design, typically generating an unwelcome dose of reality downstream, leading to rework and intensive design changes. What if we could predict with greater fidelity and confidence the cost of our design in near real time, as we're designing and progressing Revit models. This was exactly our goal with implementing Takeoff. Reviewing case study projects, we'll demonstrate how we were able to bridge the gap between design intent and project budgets—thus, allowing 3D quantification through Takeoff to guide decision making during design, promote model quality throughout production, and rally project stakeholders around the same data within a collaborative Autodesk Forma environment.

Join experts on Forma Data Management software, Autodesk BIM Collaborate software, and Forma Takeoff software to hear about recent improvements made to the products, as well as what the teams are eyeing on the horizon.
