This class will examine a case study on how Truescan3D combined the use of drones, laser scanning, and InfraWorks software to assist in gaining community support for a one-mile trail project, the Mill Creek Trail in Cincinnati, Ohio. With the local community lacking the funding for the full project survey and engineering drawings needed, Truescan3D performed a combination of drone imagery and laser scanning on the proposed project site. This process provided the design team with a detailed map of the site in a fraction of the time required when using traditional methods. This information was given to the civil engineer to create a trail design. Once the preliminary design was complete, Truescan3D used InfraWorks to develop a model and fly-through to gain design support. The presentation team will discuss the process of field reality capture, creation of the design model using InfraWorks, and how the community benefitted from the use of technology on this project.

The traditional railroad industry is lagging behind the building industry in terms of innovative technology. One reason could be that there's a lack of good Building Information Modeling (BIM) tools. This presentation will take you on a journey through the design process in large railroad projects to show what we're doing and how we're pushing things further with the help of InfraWorks software and Unreal Engine. We will cover collaboration and live feed, involving the information flow and efficient collaboration between hundreds of people per project. We'll also cover concurrent engineering and model utilization to the full extent with virtual reality (VR) enabled by Unreal Engine. This is project delivery reinvented. What if we turned things upside down and delivered a game instead of a model? We'll remove the "gimmick" factor from VR and focus on real value. Join our session and you will be blown away.

In order to meet construction demand, the industry needs more people devoted to technology. How do you become the person in your company who challenges processes, researches new tools, and pushes innovation? Perspectives provided by an industry association, a trade contractor, and a union training center are working together to address this issue.

This will be a facilitated discussion between industry stakeholders, including contractors, suppliers, and solution-based software providers. We will look at what challenges electrical contractors and designers have faced in trying to make models that are representative of the real world. We will discuss solutions and experiences through design, coordination, prefabrication, and the in-depth utilization of model data. Using the firsthand experience of our experts, we will talk from the perspective of stakeholders throughout the virtual design and construction process.

"Learn how to create native Revit content and project setup directly from your web portal. In this class, we will demonstrate how the Design Automation for Revit API was used to implement: - Cloud based content management with automated client requirements and standardization - Project template generation - Real time query and visualization - Native Revit file creation All directly from our web application!"

This session will present how The Ohio State University has successfully developed a Building Information Modeling (BIM) project delivery standard that enables the model to serve as a single source of truth for relevant spatial and asset information throughout the building lifecycle. This delivery standard has truly "begun with the end in mind" by taking advantage of the knowledge gained from the BIM for Existing Buildings portion of the Buckeye BIM Initiative. We'll highlight how the Revit portion of this deliverable will work in collaboration with COBie structured data to facilitate its utilization in effective data turnover. We'll highlight the need to implement technology solutions and workflows to enable the use of the model across the University and to support interoperability with other data systems. Last, we'll cover lessons learned, continuing challenges, and how the standard has evolved over the last 2.5 years of existence.

In Australia, procuring and delivering infrastructure projects digitally is still in its infancy. We need to encourage our clients and not confuse-simplicity is the key. We've all heard the cliché "a picture tells a thousand words," but there's real value in using images to promote engineering content. Images help us learn, grab attention, explain tough concepts, and inspire. Master Information Delivery Plans (MIDP) and levels of detail (LOD), which are usually very detailed wordy descriptions, can be easily represented through diagrams-which can then be used as a basis for developing Task Information Delivery Plans (TIDP). I have used these diagrams successfully on projects with government clients, and can easily explain the required inputs, what will be delivered through the milestones of delivery, and the outputs at each stage of project delivery. This will also let you build content within Building Information Modeling (BIM)-enabled platforms for consistency in delivery.

More than simply a technical paradigm, cloud computing offers fundamentally new directions for connecting people, projects, and information. Coupled with Building Information Modeling (BIM) data, cloud-based project information management has the potential to broadly affect both ad hoc and contractually-defined project communications, workflows, and deliverables. This class discusses advances in cloud-based project data management and collaboration with a focus on the impact on project organization, data organization, and contracting. It will offer examples of cloud-based project information management technologies, as well as case studies of the use of these systems to demonstrate the affect of BIM-centric cloud computing on project delivery. This class will discuss the use of online project collaboration to articulate the value this has on project deliveyr success.

This class is for anyone who is currently using Building Information Modeling (BIM) or intends to utilize it on large-scale projects in the future. This will be immensely helpful, inspirational, and thought provoking for owners and all stakeholders to make the best utilization of BIM on large-scale projects.

In a fast-paced design-build environment, the ability to streamline and accelerate processes necessary for optimized project delivery is directly proportional to the ability to minimize information loss. Using real-life examples, we will demonstrate how complex projects and their demanding schedules be improved from the use of Autodesk Building Design Suite. The class will cover a Building Information Modeling (BIM) workflow from the very beginning of the design and construction process. We will discuss how early decisions have a lasting impact on the building’s performance and lifecycle cost, explore the process of program development and client engagement using advanced visualization techniques, and finally, delve into the process of document production and coordination. This BIM-enabled workflow determines a team’s ability to collaborate and deliver a product that will exceed the client’s expectations.

You bring the construction knowledge. We bring the technology. Let's come together to build great solutions. This workshop will break down industry silos and bring stakeholders together across the project lifecycle. Together, we will address challenges in project delivery and tackle hurdles that keep us from maximizing project efficiencies and business margins. Teams will work together using design thinking methodology to rapidly explore, ideate, prioritize, and propose solutions. This will session will allow you to learn from industry experts already implementing excellence, network with your peers as you build solutions, and connect with Autodesk teams for ongoing research efforts.

This class shows the evolution of design-to-fabrication workflows within an integrated project delivery team. By adopting the BIM-MEPAUS Revit MEP software add-in, the design model is efficiently passed through to the construction team for development into a constructable LOD 400 model. Within a single Revit MEP model, services are coordinated and approved for construction while data sets are used for procurement. The model is used for ductwork fabrication using Autodesk® Fabrication CADmep™ software in an integrated workflow. Using Navisworks® Manage, the lead coordinating contractor completes the final coordination using the federated model and finalizes site point positioning setouts using positioning points embedded in the model. The model is passed to the site team and used to support installation. The class demonstrates the workflow through real-life projects, providing practical insights into the multiple benefits that can be used by adopting these workflows.

"Learn how Facilities Management (FM) teams use models to maximize their efficiency by visualizing all the buildings and assets together with information from the facility management system. See how Autodesk Forge and BIM 360 Docs can be integrated with Maximo and visualized in a modern, easy to use, web-based viewer. Understand the possibilites presented by Forge and BIM 360 and how you can integrate different systems with your models. This class will be using a real case study from Sweden, a complex hospital that is using BIM360 and Forge today to maximize their efficiency. The hospital contains over 600 000 assets that are being maintained using Maximo, delivered with the COBie standard. The models and assets are all visualized using a modern Sweco designed viewer, integrated with Maximo."

Sharing CAD and Building Information Modeling (BIM) data with project team members who are outside of your organization has its challenges. If outside team members are using software packages that are different than yours, the challenges are multiplied. In this class, we will discuss methods and best practices that you can put in place to help make the data-sharing process go a bit smoother. We will also cover best practices for working on a project that uses integrated project delivery (IPD) and only Autodesk® Revit® software among multidiscipline team members, including taking full advantage of the live model for coordination. We will go from the initial project team kickoff meeting, through "in-progress" coordination meetings, and finally through project delivery.

Verkís Consulting Engineers has gained various benefits from using BIM 360 Glue software. Before taking on BIM 360 Glue, coordination and clash detection of models was a time-consuming process that delayed project delivery. Project managers had less overview over the design process in BIM (Building Information Modeling) projects, and involving stakeholders in the BIM process was often unsuccessful. With BIM 360 Glue, Verkís has streamlined coordination and clash-detection processes involving designers in the cloud environment, shortening coordination meetings and delivering better-coordinated models in less time. Project managers have better overview and are more involved in the design authoring and coordination process. The use of BIM 360 Glue and virtual reality (VR) for design review has opened a new market sector for Verkís. In this class, we will present different benefits of using BIM 360 Glue with different design projects. Verkís is an Icelandic engineering firm that provides services in building, energy, industry, and infrastructure sectors.

This class will discuss the practical application of technology to improve field operations. We will focus on the use of augmented reality using the DAQRI headset and the Autodesk Augmented Reality application to review design intent with all stakeholders, provide continuous quality control of the as-coordinated versus as-built environments, and provide expedited monthly billing applications to streamline the construction process.

Change can be scary for any firm. Don’t get stuck! Why wait until you’re forced out of BIM 360 Glue software to fully understand what Model Coordination has to offer? Like BIM 360 Glue, Model Coordination connects the entire project team and streamlines BIM project workflows. In this session, we will explore the differences between classic BIM 360 Glue and next-generation BIM 360 Glue, and how you can improve your team’s efficiency by making the switch. We’ll also set up coordination models and recognize how the model integrates across the entire BIM 360 platform. We'll ensure that the stickiness in this session will make the move to Model Coordination easier for you and your organization.

The course will cover the creation of a Construction Project utilizing as many Autodesk products as possible. We will start with InfraWorks 360 to demonstrate on the site selection, then utilize Map3D, Civil3D and Vehicle Tracking to build the infrastructure of the site. In parallel, we will demonstrate the use of Dynamo, Formit and Revit to build the Buildings and Structure of the site, and Plant3D, with Advance Steel to build the rest of the Plant. Also demonstrated will be Navisworks, BIM360 Glue and BIM360 Field to show a complete workflow of a project from initial concept phase to final project delivery and commissioning.

The engineering and construction industry is at the cusp of a new era. BIM 360 software and field construction technology tools are changing how companies design, plan, and build projects. Leaders must make sense of an evolving network of tools and equip themselves for transformation. This class will provide an overview of the techniques and trends shaping the industry and the value of construction data captured in the field. The class will explore challenges and best practices for contractors and project owners looking to understand labor productivity while it happens, and stay ahead of the technology curve.
