BIM 360 Docs software and BIM 360 Document Management help us store and collaborate on construction documents with our stakeholders. With Desktop Connector, we can manage files in Document Management through a connected drive, letting users benefit from easy syncing of files and folders and offline working. This class will teach you how to set up and use Desktop Connector with BIM 360 Document Management, and how to troubleshoot most common issues.

Undertaking the monumental effort of organizing data within an organization is difficult alone. Add standardization and, ultimately, the development of specifications to provide guidance to all who do business with your organization, and you really have a mountain to climb. Airports have unique requirements that set them apart from other asset management systems. During this panel discussion, we’ll share the obstacles encountered from the conception of an asset management program all the way through to an enterprise-level BIM (Building Information Modeling), geographic information system (GIS), and computerized maintenance management system (CMMS). We’ll share experiences on how these obstacles were handled both temporarily and permanently to achieve steps toward a single source of truth. Panel members will offer their unique perspectives on the various issues confronted through the implementation of these programs.

In this class, you’ll hear from two industry experts who’ve been on a 20-year journey, transforming information management. They’ll look back to the turn of the century when the journey began, sharing the vision and aspirations of how the construction of Heathrow’s Terminal 5 could deliver a digital legacy. The changing landscape of technology and ever-increasing digital expectations have taken Heathrow on an amazing journey: new owners, new aspirations, new legislation, and new governance, all underpinned by a new technology landscape, together with new goals. It is the expansion of Europe’s most prestigious airport. Twenty years in 60 minutes—an exploration of Heathrow’s digital journey: what went well, what went not so well, and what the future holds.

Two books will guide this roundtable discussion: Principles: Life and Work by Ray Dalio and The Checklist Manifesto by Atul Gawande. The goal is to apply ideas that these books present and discuss how we use them in BIM (Building Information Modeling) for the efficient and effective execution of deliverables. The primary software focus will be Revit best practices. Principles is a master class in rational thinking. The main theme is that finding truth is the best way to make decisions, and that ego, emotion, and blind spots prevent you from discovering the truth. The Checklist Manifesto is a critical look at how we can use checklists to dramatically reduce errors and increase discipline in an organization. Gawande, also a surgeon, chronicles his ultimately successful attempt at introducing checklists to radically improve surgical outcomes globally through the World Health Organization and its application in other industries like construction, finance, and aviation.

During this panel discussion you can ask questions directly. The panel members will try to answer them directly.

Most building design projects live in two worlds: everything inside the building, and everything outside the building. The two worlds come together only after an excessive amount of swearing and hours of unnecessary time spent. But does it have to be that way? Absolutely not. Coordinating Revit software and Civil 3D software, even in the cloud, doesn't have to require a degree in theoretical physics, and this session, co-presented by a Revit specialist and a Civil 3D specialist, is where you can learn how. You will gain an understanding of the expectations for each platform and learn how to configure them. With coordinated model locations in place, we'll define effective practices for exchanging data between Revit and Civil 3D through BIM 360 software. Using the full potential of each coordinated design model, you will learn how to assemble your project in the context of its surroundings using InfraWorks software, and you'll learn how to generate a virtual reality (VR) scene.

In this class, you’ll create an adaptive parametric Revit family that represents one of the types of crossed vaults used in the ground-floor ceiling of the Notre-Dame cathedral in Paris, France. This class is a result of Alfredo Medina’s collaboration in Andrew Milburn’s initiative about creating a Revit model of Notre-Dame, a work motivated by the love of using Revit software as a "BIM pencil" (Mr. Milburn’s words) to study historical buildings. Mr. Milburn started the model in April 2019, soon after the fire. Using BIM 360 Design software and a BIM 360 Document Management hub, several enthusiasts from different continents have collaborated in this project. One of the tasks that Alfredo Medina volunteered to do is the group of vaults in semicircular array at the end of the nave. This class is a step-by-step, hands-on lab to show you how to make one of these types of vaults and insert it multiple times in different orientations in the layout of ceiling vaults.

Niigata Power Systems is a world-leading power-generation company for marine and land. A key component in the creation of power-generation systems is routed systems design in Inventor software. In this class, you will look at real-world examples that demonstrate how Niigata creates tube and pipe routes, custom content, and drawings. You will learn how Niigata uses AnyCAD to reference third-party CAD data to create proper connection points for tube and pipe routes.

We all enter the future where there is no place to waste time on commuting. Our businesses have to be as efficient as possible. “Evolve or die”—now this motto is more relevant than ever. More and more professional engineers choose remote work because design is quite similar to the IT sphere, where remote work has become more common than it was 10 years ago. So, we decided to use remote work in Roseco at once, and haven’t regretted yet. We think that the remote design market should be developed to give more professionals the possibility of working as they like. We have four years of experience in project management with remote engineers; we shared our expertise at Autodesk University Russia, and we’d like to share it worldwide. And BIM 360 software is the only solution, making remote work in BIM (Building Information Modeling) possible. You need a common data environment for each project you are working with, unless you are working with it alone. For us, it is BIM 360.

If you've ever wrestled to coordinate on a design project with multiple companies you know the pain of getting everyone into on system where the design can be shared, viewed, reviewed and iterated on. Join me in a demonstration on workflows and best practices as we explore BIM 360 Design Collaboration, BIM 360 document Management and Revit to show how these products work together to facilitate grand designs. Along the way we will explore tips and tricks for setup and workflow that will save time and frustration as well as explore a few technical tips for troubleshooting common issues.

This in-product demonstration will explain how BIM 360 software now exceeds BIM Level 2 requirements for a common data environment, providing the managed exchange of project information across all disciplines, from design through construction and turnover. This session will emphasize several easy-to-implement processes for reviewing and approving document sets as key to passing data efficiently through the 4 BIM Level 2 document states of Work-In-Progress (WIP), Shared, Published, and Archive. The agenda will include the following: the BIM Level 2 common data environment: essential and dispensable; assigning BIM Level 2-compliant custom attributes; using BIM 360 Document Sets as information delivery plans; accelerating WIP collaboration with BIM 360 Design; BIM Level 2 review and approval in BIM 360 Document Management; resolving model clashes in BIM 360 Model Coordination; and digital constructability reviews with InfraWorks software and BIM 360.

In the spring of 2018, Autodesk introduced BIM 360 Design software, based on the Forge platform, and BIM 360 Document Management. While users still have access to the legacy BIM 360 Team technology, BIM 360 Design provides enhanced collaboration workflows, greater control over file permissions, and much tighter integration with BIM 360 Docs software for use in "downstream" collaboration workflows during a project’s postdesign phases. This class will focus on the enhanced workflows possible with Design Collaboration and Revit cloud collaboration, and will cover project setup, teams and permissions, and the use of packages to effectively control when others have access to your data and when data from other teams is updated in your model. We will also look at common troubleshooting techniques and BIM 360 site setup.

The BIM 360 Product Management Team will review the recent enhancements to the Design Collaboration module and share priorities for the product road map. Learn about how BIM 360 software can help you publish, manage, review, and approve all project drawings, documents, and models across the project lifecycle.

How can we coordinate people around the world in a project of 3,250,655 cubic meters, divided into more than 400 multidisciplinary Revit models? This class will show how 3D coordination is possible in an effective way using Collaboration for Revit and BIM 360 Team. The Red Line North Underground project in Doha, Qatar, was started with the use of many different local systems (Revit servers) and a central storage useful for exchanging models and information. The adoption of the BIM 360 platform let us optimize the workflows, saving time and money. With the integrated cooperation and collaboration made possible by the platform, efficiency was maximized, therefore providing a solid base for the decision-making process. Thanks to BIM 360 software, all members of the team could share information and collaborate, regardless of where they were physically located, capitalizing on the contributions, skills, and intuitions of all team members in a smooth and simple way.

Digital transformation impacts nearly every facet of an organization. For the Construction Industry, this digital transformation is palpable and encompasses how people, culture, technology and process intertwine. Research shows that diversity and inclusion are key components that can encourage new ways of working and help to unlock this potential. And yet… women rising into leadership positions where they can help usher this transformation remains a challenge for the construction industry. In this interactive panel, you’ll hear directly from women in leadership roles as they share their personal stories of rising in the industry, and the strategies they use to develop frameworks for managing innovation in construction, tapping into unique background of teams, and empowering a culture where transformation (and diversity) can thrive.

For this project, we used BIM 360 Docs software as a collaborative platform that centralizes models, documents, and meta data. This class’s main goal is to show how Brunet Saunier Architecture implemented and used BIM 360 Docs workflows on a large hospital project in Paris, France. The first part will cover design and construction phases for one of the Lariboisière hospital buildings (6,000 square meters). We’ll describe how the firm implemented and used BIM 360 collaborative processes to involve the hospital owner, as well as three construction companies (general contractor, plumbing, and HVAC). In the second part, we’ll cover the design of the hospital’s main building (55,000 square meters) and what is planned for the construction phase in the future. The owner conducted a procedure that awarded six contracts (disciplines); each company was asked to provide full intelligent models (geometry and data). We are planning on using BIM 360 to ensure the data is unique and consistent, and that it matches the contracts.

This is the story of how DPR Construction, along with its design and building-owner partners, was able to successfully implement BIM 360 Docs software as a project collaboration solution on the VCU Health Children’s Hospital project in Richmond, Virginia. Thanks to the growing number of features included with BIM 360 Docs, the team was able to eliminate or integrate the use of more than a dozen design and construction applications traditionally used by the various team members. This talk will discuss the decision that the team made in early 2017 to go with BIM 360, and will chronicle the peaks and valleys the team overcame on their journey to successful implementation. The talk will include insight into the benefits of using BIM 360 Docs on a large project with many stakeholders, including how the team utilized the software for file sharing, model collaboration, design reviews, and drawing management. We’ll conclude with a discussion on future processes the team has planned as the project moves from design into construction.

Everybody seems to be talking about the gender gap at work, but nobody seems to know what to do about it. Gender diversity is a complex issue and it’s easy to get overwhelmed. Most corporate diversity strategies to date have focused on supporting women through programs like mentorship and women’s leadership conferences. This approach sounds good in theory, but it places the responsibility solely on women. The truth is that women are not holding themselves back from leadership; the latest research confirms that workplace culture is preventing women from achieving equality. Things will never change unless all genders take part in finding a solution. In this interactive session, we’ll talk about how all genders can get involved, and how to use the concept of sponsorship (not mentorship) to accelerate women into leadership positions.

Learn how to create clash detection in BIM 360 Coordination using a published model from Revit software to BIM 360 Docs software using a cloud worksharing workflow. Learn how to set up coordination space, automate clash detection, review clashes with a team, create unified issues, assign issues to team members, create an approval workflow, set up granular permissions, change analysis, and create a BIM 360 dashboard. We’ll also cover grouping clashing, selection of clashing, integration, and so on. BIM 360 Design software is a product for cloud worksharing and design collaboration that is built for distributed, multidisciplinary teams. With BIM 360 Design, you can co-author Revit models in the cloud, control worksharing activities, and coordinate deliverable exchange across teams. Model Coordination provides a shared space to publish, review, and run clashes on your latest set of project models. See how when you upload 3D models to a centralized Model Coordination folder, the clash service automatically locates any issues in those models.
