As construction projects grow in complexity, achieving precise coordination is more important than ever to minimize rework and keep teams aligned. This course will focus on using ReCap Pro software’s ability to generate high-resolution mesh files and use classification tools to drive detailed clash detection. Participants will explore how integrating segmented meshes into Navisworks software and Autodesk Forma enhances the accuracy of project coordination by aligning models with real-world conditions. Through this session, you’ll learn how to use classified mesh data to identify and resolve clashes with greater clarity, facilitating more-informed decision making across project teams.

Have you ever taken a photo of something critical during a site visit only to forget where it was or find it lacking context when reviewing it later? The increasing accessibility of advanced reality capture devices—such as photogrammetry and SLAM LiDAR technology—offers an unprecedented opportunity for AECO professionals to accurately capture detailed and extensive site details. Integrating these technologies into your workflows can dramatically enhance documentation at various construction stages, improve coordination among stakeholders, and provide timely and transparent as-built information. This case study will demonstrate how to effectively use these advanced technologies (SLAM point clouds and 3D gaussian splatting) to enrich civil Infrastructure Management with Autodesk tools like Civil 3D, ReCap, InfraWorks, Revit, and Autodesk Forma.

Railway projects include many disciplines: rail superstructure, civil works, tunnels, viaducts, road bridges, culverts, systems, and so on. In large-scale international projects, many parties are involved in the design and construction process. And the integration of all information in Autodesk Forma coming from different tools—such as InfraWorks, Civil 3D, Revit, Navisworks Manage, and Twinmotion—enables the full BIM methodology implementation on a railway project. Autodesk tools also allow stakeholders to manage the project in the real geographical context, and to facilitate the production of photorealistic videos and virtual reality (VR) experiences for stakeholder engagement.

Traditional structural reviews, especially for complex projects, often struggle to convey spatial complexities and foster true collaboration. Autodesk Workshop XR is Autodesk’s groundbreaking virtual reality (VR) platform seamlessly integrated with Autodesk Forma—and it is designed to overcome these barriers.

Elevating the digital maturity of our clients' factories, we aim to transform traditional manufacturing practices by transitioning from outdated paper-based drawings to the powerful concept of the Digital Prototyping. We start by scanning the facility to generate a 3D point cloud, which forms the base for architectural and MEP models in Revit software. These are imported into Inventor software, where we design and optimize the production line with machinery, conveyors, and robots. Factory Design Utilities software allows us to quickly build detailed layouts. With Navisworks software, we perform clash detection and offer virtual reality (VR) walk-throughs. FlexSim simulates the workflow to ensure efficiency. For data management, we use Vault Pro software and Autodesk Forma, while Autodesk Tandem software improves operations. This journey helps clients move beyond outdated systems and embrace the Digital Prototyping and Digital Prototyping.

How can immersive technology transform the way we train, build, and care for our teams? This session will explore how extended reality (XR)—paired with Revit, Navisworks, and Autodesk Forma—is evolving from a visualization tool into a catalyst for safety, efficiency, and wellbeing in architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC). Discover how XR can simulate high-risk tasks, streamline onboarding, and strengthen safety culture. We’ll share real-world applications, Autodesk Workshop XR, and practical steps to start, scale, and integrate immersive tech into your workflow.

The Terminal 2 Baggage Programme (T2BP) at Heathrow aims to replace the aging T2 baggage system linked to Terminal 1. The new solution will be implemented in five phases across 21 construction projects, grouped by physical and operational attributes. A major challenge was managing design risks through different organizations and suppliers that interface at key areas in a live operational environment. The manual Excel processes used to record design risks led to difficulties in maintaining a single source of truth, causing duplication and errors. The goal was to find a streamlined, digital solution to standardize processes and enable monitoring and reporting through dashboards. After researching data environments, Autodesk Forma was chosen for its suitability to manage design risk information, requiring customization through trial and feedback. The solution also provided integration with augmented reality (AR) for live inspections.

Autodesk has firmly committed to an open integration ecosystem to help construction firms collaborate and drive efficiency. As a result, technology partners offer over 150 direct integrations and Autodesk Forma™ Connect powers hundreds of possible custom integration workflows. Come listen to our key partners across industries such as mixed reality, reality capture, financials and budget planning, data and analytics, site and safety management, and more. We will discuss partnering with Autodesk, the breadth and depth of these integrations, and the workflows that can be achieved with our ecosystem.

Renovation projects are on the rise, with digital methods like reality capture, model-based collaboration, and Digital Prototypings proving essential. AFRY Switzerland's “AFRY Bellinzona regional hub” is a prime example. Located in a historic Swiss town of Bellinzona, the 2,000 m² space was transformed from an unused commercial site into flexible, modern offices. Autodesk tools were used throughout: Recap for reality capture, Revit for model authoring, ACC for clash detection and coordination, AR visualisation, site reporting, and a Digital Prototyping prototype with Tandem. Sustainable Design was a top priority—repurposing the existing space helped meet initial goals, with recycled materials and 90% reused furniture from previous offices.
