Kimley-Horn has exemplified efficiency in model building by using tools such as Ruby scripts and SQL queries, particularly for larger-scale, system-wide, sanitary sewer models. The Ruby scripts introduced modifications to the inference tool, enabling the adjustment of pipe slopes between two defined points. This innovative feature was developed by partnering with Autodesk to set minimum slopes based on pipe diameter, offering precision and streamlined workflows for complex engineering tasks. By using these customized scripts, Kimley-Horn significantly improved the speed and accuracy of its modeling process. Additionally, SQL queries enhanced the ability to quickly assess pump performance. This involved summarizing results and pinpointing capacity limitations with respect to specific level-of-service parameters. By automating the identification of pump outcomes, the SQL tool helped optimize data analysis and project execution.

Don't have plans or any design details for a given bridge? Join us for an insightful discussion on how Parsons and Autodesk have teamed up to use high-resolution photogrammetry coupled with Autodesk’s newest Reality Capture capabilities to streamline the creation of existing-condition intelligent models for downstream bridge design and analysis. This session will showcase the innovative collaboration between industry leaders and the transformative impact that advanced technology is having on bridge engineering.

How do the world’s newest mega-stadiums achieve a seamless hand-off from design to day-to-day operations—without a single roll of paper? Join owners and contractors of Qatar’s Lusail Stadium, the Jeddah Central Development Company (JCDC) waterfront arena, and other landmark venues as they reveal hard-won lessons from projects where BIM was embedded from day one. Moderated by Pinnacle Infotech—the prime BIM consultant on each build—this panel dissects model-centric collaboration, laser-scanning quality control, supplier integration, and the creation of live Digital Prototypings that facility teams actually use. Walk away ready to replicate the workflows, contracts, and tech stack that kept these billion-dollar facilities on spec and future-proof.

Exceptional construction starts with clarity—clear communication, fewer points of contact, and a streamlined, client-centered experience. Our Operations Driven Design approach builds on that foundation, applying AI and machine learning to performance data captured from satellites, sensors, building systems, and more. From space to site, we translate complex data into actionable insights—informing 3D Digital Prototyping models, AR visualizations, simulations, and environmental trend analysis. This enables smarter planning, climate-resilient strategies, and optimized operations before ground is ever broken. Whether the project is infrastructure, vertical construction, or site development, we bring precision and foresight to every phase. The result? Data-rich design. Predictable performance. A better experience from start to Operations.

Jeevan Kalanithi, CEO and Co-founder of OpenSpace, and Michael Fleischman, CTO and Co-founder of OpenSpace, join the Digital Builder Podcast to discuss the evolution of reality capture and spatial AI in the AEC industry.

Reality Capture has been in the industry since the late 1990’s where it has evolved from it’s tripod-based roots into encompassing many different forms of data capture of today. One could easily make an argument that Reality Capture has also grown from a handful of sensors to now a wide variety of processes. Regardless of where the data comes from, there has been one consistent and constant challenge that professionals still face. What to do with the volumes of data Reality Capture creates and how to make meaningful deliverables. This session will look at a brief history of Reality Capture as well as provide insight on how Leica CloudWorx continues to provide powerful tools for converting massive point cloud data into meaningful 3D models, 2D CAD drawings, and topographic deliverables. Furthermore, many tools in Leica CloudWorx serve as enhancements to the standard CAD tools that are in the various Autodesk suite of software packages.
