Imagine walking a design site before it’s ever built, with grading, buildings, and utilities unfolding around you in full context. Immersive Digital Workplaces make that possible, turning project models into shared experiences that improve communication and bring teams into alignment before construction begins. In this fast-paced, high-level session, three voices from civil design, immersive technology, and construction will share insights from the field. Rather than a technical deep dive, this session offers a big-picture look at how immersive Digital Workplaces are bridging disciplines, reducing errors, and clarifying complex data throughout the project lifecycle. When stakeholders can visualize a design in its environment, they are empowered to make faster, more confident decisions. Join us to explore how immersive workflows support better outcomes from concept through construction.

In this session we demonstrate how Spacemaker can be leveraged to quickly kick-off a project and validate design decisions. Saving you time and effort, we’ll demonstrate the ideal workflow to combine the strengths of Spacemaker and Revit. From project setup and validating concept proposals using Spacemaker's user friendly analysis tools we'll give you a thorough beginners guide to get you started in the software. We'll wrap up the session with a demo of the Revit add in to easily migrate your proposals to Revit for further design development. Need to tweak your proposals - we'll show how to migrate your proposal back into Spacemaker for further analysis.

What the heck are these Fabrication Parts doing in Revit? In this class, we will discuss the history of Fabrication and the features that have developed this software into the premier software package used by the majority of MEP contractors in the United States. You will have the opportunity to explore and edit the data inside of a Fabrication Part to understand how the changes made will affect your project as a whole. If you are new to Fabrication this is a must attend!

In this presentation, we'll highlight how using level of development (LOD) status by element helps model authors know how complete their models are. We'll also demonstrate how, at different coordination events in a project, all parties can use LOD to indicate to each other their completion of design in the project by using the LOD score as a trigger for other dependent trades to move forward with their design efforts. For example, a structural engineer can use LOD element status in his or her own structural model to know what parts of the model are still subject to change. When the structural engineer is finished with exterior columns and many of the internal columns, those confirmed elements have a LOD status of 350. However, the steel around the internal elevator shaft area will be at a LOD status of 300 because the elevator equipment hasn't been selected yet. By visualizing the LOD status at a glance, the structural engineers know where the model still needs attention.

This interactive class focuses on tools and workflow to help you get the best results from your HP Designjet printer. We present an overview of print management and cover calibration of both monitor and printer, file submission, and troubleshooting tips. We will show several examples that can help you be more creative with your Designjet. Past attendees have said that what they learned in this class has helped them save time and money and win new business.

We've all been there: it's an hour until your deadline and the project manager wants to make one little change. The problem is, this change will take hours of tedious work...hours you simply don't have. However, through the power of Revit macros and some basic programming, you learn how a little automation can save you a ton of time on your next project and make you the hero you always knew you were.

Take a deep dive into converting a design intent model into Fabrication LOD 400 content. More specifically we will discuss how to convert things like valves, strainer, and dampers. From creating families to editing the Fabrication database to Design Line button mapping, this class will get technical and is not for the faint of heart! 

We are all trying to reduce waste and issues on our sites, and co-ordination issues sit right at the top of this list. Clash management can be a time consuming task when we consider setting up the application, keeping it up to date with models, and approving non clashes. This session shows you how technology is beginning to help us deliver a managed and automated service, where automatic model federation and clash groups are generated and any issues can be tracked until closed out. Find out how to efficiently accelerate the creation of clash tests and manage ongoing clash data with Dynamo and BIM 360 Next Gen. You will learn how to automate the creation of clash sets from Revit Categories and Uniclass2 classification system using Dynamo for use in BIM 360 Next Gen.•Working with Dynamo and Revit Categories•Working with Dynamo and Uniclass2 Classification•Creation of automated clash reports•Clash dashboards with Dynamo and Microsoft Power BI

Have you started seeing Revit files from architects or engineers at bid time? Do the projects that your CAD department is currently working on have access to the Revit files? Even if this is not the case, but you would like to take advantage of the Revit Design to Fabrication Parts, this is the class for you. In this class, we will review your options on how to use the Revit file design items into Fabrication Parts directly inside of Revit. Once we've converted the Revit design items, we'll learn how to export a .MAJ file out of Revit and open it with Fabrication ESTmep software. Once we've opened the file in Fabrication ESTmep, we'll look at options to review pricing and labor along with running reports and data exports.

This session focuses on understanding the collaboration workflow from Revit to Advance Steel and using the Revit add-in for data transfer. This interface creates the SMLX file, but users struggle to understand or have the correct setup installed to allow for this to operate. We'll look behind the interface and understand the process and the mechanism that are being used to create this bi-directional workflow for steel members, steel connections, and other associated elements.

Dynamo Studio is typically associated with Revit; however, it offers a fantastic platform for algorithmic-driven design and easy parameter manipulation in Fusion 360. It also features great T-spline and surface support for complex geometry creation, for those wishing to bring a degree of parametric control to their surfacing with ease. In short, it makes sense to learn this program alongside Fusion 360, and build a community for this, which this talk hopes to kick start.
