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.

BIM is no longer a buzzword, but are we using its full potential? BIM still sits comfortably as a sophisticated 3D modeling tool, while it is meant to do more—much more. Are we using it as a catalyst to our workflow or a glorified tool to generate models, coordinate between disciplines, and produce drawings. And then? That’s it. The rich data embedded in those models is often ignored, unlinked, or siloed. It’s time to get serious, understand its impact on project lifecycle, and learn about the ROI it can provide to its stakeholders. Let’s see how BIM can work harder for you, turning it from a cost center into a value generator.

In today’s fast-paced construction industry, bridging the gap between real-world conditions and digital-project environments is key to achieving accuracy, minimizing errors, and streamlining project delivery. Reality capture technologies, such as laser scanning, allow teams to document site conditions with precision. However, turning that raw data into actionable models and coordinating them across disciplines can be a challenge without the right tools and workflow. This lab will help you to set up a practical workflow that integrates ReCap Pro 2026, Revit, and the Modeling module in Autodesk Forma to enable efficient scan-to-BIM and Modeling processes. It will demonstrate how point cloud data can be used not just for modeling, but also for coordination and clash detection, using mesh representations and cloud collaboration.

In complex civil infrastructure projects—such as highways, bridges, and utilities—the ability to turn field data into actionable insights is essential for performance, safety, and cost control. This session will show how MRS Logística used Forma Build software and Insight Builder to convert raw field inputs into real-time analytics, enabling smarter and faster decisions across project lifecycles. By structuring data from Issues, RFIs, Checklists, and Forms, MRS created dynamic dashboards that track physical progress, monitor compliance, and surface predictive alerts before risks escalate. These insights connected field operations with executive decision making, providing transparency over construction quality, schedule health, and contract performance. You’ll learn how to structure data flows from the field, configure Insight Builder rules, and deploy scalable dashboards that support real-time monitoring, predictive insights, and strategic oversight in civil infrastructure delivery.

Believe it or not, digital twins are more than just a buzzword! Owners are realizing there’s a lot more they can do with the (on average) 95%+ of design and construction data that goes to waste—and they’re turning to us to help them put that data to meaningful use. In this session, you’ll hear about some real-world case studies showcasing why digital twins are here to stay. Of course, the path to development and integration is never without bumps along the way. We’ll discuss common obstacles and challenges in getting started with digital twins, and we’ll evaluate the growing digital twin ecosystem with platforms like Autodesk Tandem technology, Esri ArcGIS, EcoDomus, Unreal Engine, and many others that can serve a variety of owner needs. Join this vibrant roundtable and share your thoughts and experiences with digital twins and digital transformation in general. Let’s discuss ways we can help transition our industry toward a better future!

Owners may specify what they want in their deliverables, including data assets, but they may not always be aware of what that entails. In this session, we’ll go over how to chart a course to provide useful digital and data deliverables to the owner, starting from project inception. This includes assets such as federated intelligent models, COBie data, energy analysis reports, clash reports, and more. The method will start from the end and work backward to the beginning, providing a definition of each deliverable, its relevance, and the setup of a schedule for delivery. So, if you want to advocate for your team join this session!

Turning a design-stage MEP BIM model into a fabrication-ready (LOD 400) model using Fabrication MEP parts is one of the most critical and complex phases in the project lifecycle. Once IFC files and construction drawings are handed off, the responsibility shifts to general contractors and subcontractors to ensure constructability, meet engineering standards, and align with fabrication requirements. This session will demonstrate how Autodesk Forma , AutoCAD or Revit with Fabrication MEP parts, curated MEP database sets, custom scripts and powerful add-ins enhance model refinement. You’ll discover how early modeling decisions reduce waste, improve rerouting, and accelerate field installation. By resolving fabrication needs in the model, teams reduce material use and empower crews with ready-to-build content. Whether you're a GC or MEP subcontractor working toward high-detail prefab, this session offers the tools to bridge design and construction empower by the cloud base tools.

In this session, we'll focus on how the new Autodesk Assistant in Revit fits into real modeling and documentation workflows inside Revit 2027. From making modeling easier to troubleshooting issues and supporting documentation, we'll walk through practical examples you can apply right away. You'll see how to ask better questions, how to refine the responses, and how to turn those responses into something useful. We'll also discuss how AI can support and complement your design process, not replace it. We'll cover where Autodesk Assistant works well, where it still falls short, and how to use it in a way that actually saves time. Come to this session to learn how to make Autodesk Assistant in Revit work for you, not against you.

AI in AEC is moving fast, but most teams are still stuck at the chat window. This session maps the three stages of AI maturity in BIM workflows: conversational chat, saved commands, and agents. Using real deployments inside Autodesk Revit, we'll show how firms turn one-off AI prompts into reusable commands their whole team can run (think add-ins created in minutes, not months), and how agent-based systems go further: planning multi-step work, using tools, and even creating new tools when a workflow demands it. Drawing on lessons from enterprise teams automating modelling, documentation, and QA/QC, we'll cover what worked, what failed, and how to judge where your organization sits on the chat-to-agent curve. You'll leave with a practical framework for scaling AI beyond individual experiments to team-wide automation and how agents can provide adoptive solutions to workflows.

Many owners have rich Revit and AutoCAD data but after handoff, that information is often difficult for operations teams to use in workflows. This session will show how to turn design data into a floor-aware indoor geographic information system (GIS) that supports operations across campuses, airports, and other facilities. You'll learn how to transform CAD/BIM data into an indoor system of record for maps, assets, spaces, safety, and occupants. We'll walk through implementation patterns and data import methods from CAD/BIM into ArcGIS Indoors, using location as a framework to move from handoff to operational value. See real examples from Dallas Fort Worth International Airport, where BIM data was converted into operational twins for assets, spaces, and situational awareness.

For too long, BIM data quality for operations has been treated as a downstream problem discovered late, remediated manually, and handed over with gaps that limit long-term value. In reality, these are rarely technical failures, but governance failures. This class will explore how organizations can shift from reactive records remediation to upstream prevention by introducing a BIM governance coordinator role: bridging client requirements, internal standards, and multidisciplinary delivery teams to ensure expectations are understood, tracked, and enforced throughout the project lifecycle turning BIM deliverables into more-reliable operational assets.

Early‑stage flood resilience design relies on simplified assumptions, limiting understanding of how site-design decisions influence flood performance. This session will present an InfoDrainage‑led workflow to quantify flood resilience at site scale through coordinated parametric design and hydraulic modeling. The session will show how InfoDrainage, Autodesk Civil 3D, Subassembly Composer, and Dynamo software are used together to drive parametric site design and generate inputs for 1D‑2D flood simulation. Rule‑based design logic enables rapid, repeatable generation of site grading and flood mitigation solutions using Dynamo Player. The resulting BIM‑ready terrain and surface models support scenario testing across exceedance and climate change scenarios.

What if you could generate a reliable MEP cost estimate before modeling a single element in Revit software? That's exactly what we built: a Python-based estimation bot trained on more than 300 real MEP projects from our historical data. Instead of relying on disconnected spreadsheets or manual takeoffs, the bot uses pattern recognition to generate estimates at the proposal stage before BIM begins. Our solution achieves more than 95% accuracy versus final costs, and it reduces estimation time by more than 70%. In this session, we'll show how we structured the data, trained the model, and integrated it into our workflow. You'll leave this session with a practical framework to turn historical data into a predictive asset.

Model-based takeoff for linear civil projects sounds great, until Civil 3D-to-IFC exports leave out the quantities and metadata needed to actually price the work. In this session, Kyle Field and Josh Boardman from ISL Engineering will show how they used Civil 3D, Dynamo, and Autodesk Forma Takeoff software to bridge that gap. You will see how custom Civil 3D property sets can turn 3D solids into takeoff-ready bid items by embedding missing length and area data, carrying standardized bid item information, and making model objects easier to isolate and quantify. The result is a more scalable workflow with less retracing, stronger QA/QC, and cleaner estimating outputs for linear civil projects.

In a reality of more than 200 railway infrastructure projects running simultaneously, data fragmentation is not a risk it's inevitable. This technical deep dive will show you how MRS Logística tackles this challenge by refining BIM requirements and building a standardized common data environment (CDE) in Autodesk Forma. From issues and daily reports to audits, model coordination, cost, and schedule, workflows are structured and connected at scale. Discover how Autodesk Assistant enables structured analysis and how the Insight Builder tool turns connected data into real-time intelligence driving consistency, reliability, and faster decision making across projects.

Discover how better prompts can transform the way you work with Autodesk Assistant in AutoCAD and Civil 3D software. The feature just landed as a tech preview, but users who get value from it share one thing: They know how to ask. Most people type something vague, get a poor result, and move on. As the product team behind this experience, we've seen where the gaps are ambiguous scope, missing context, overly broad requests. This session will use live before/after demos to show you how prompts with clear tasks, contexts, and constraints turn frustrating results into reliable outcomes for workflows like standards checks, counts, queries, and style changes. Whether you're a drafter or CAD manager, you'll leave with a prompt template library your team can adopt right away.

Are your scans just visuals or are they driving real project decisions? Reality capture is widely used, but most workflows stop at geometry, leaving critical insights untapped. This session will demonstrate how to transform scan data into actionable digital twins by integrating Revit, Autodesk Forma (formerly Autodesk Construction Cloud), and asset data workflows. Learn how AI can detect deviations, connect model elements to structured data, and surface insights that influence coordination, cost, and project outcomes. If your scans aren't informing decisions, you're missing their true value. This session will show how to unlock the potential of scanned data and workflow.

How can industrialized construction, intelligent data, and integrated workflows turn sustainability from a reporting burden into a scalable design strategy? In this session for architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) leaders and delivery teams, Max Bögl Group will share how one company manages the value chain from raw material sourcing and design to off-site production, delivery, assembly, and maintenance to deliver modular buildings and bridge systems with measurable sustainability outcomes. As we use projects from Germany and the Netherlands, you'll see how standardized, parametric products, connected models, and automated assessments help teams compare options faster, respond to strict European requirements, and build the data foundation for future AI-supported design decisions.
