Design, Build, Experience: Immersive Digital Workplaces (REPEAT)

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.

From Design to Digital Twin: Building Indoor GIS with CAD and BIM Data

CAD and BIM have long served as the foundational design and construction documentation —but their utility often ends at project handoff. What if it didn’t? Indoor GIS is a floor-aware system of record for visualizing, analyzing, and managing facilities and collection of buildings. This session will demonstrate how to extend the life of CAD and BIM data into an indoor GIS, and empower CAD, BIM and GIS practitioners to build a Digital Workplace for building operations. Learn about the role of CAD and BIM integrations with GIS to fuel these workflows. See how to import design data into ArcGIS Indoors to map assets and manage spaces, enable real-time navigation with ArcGIS IPS, and equip facilities’ staff with mobile tools for asset inspections and maintenance. Whether new to GIS or looking to modernize facility operations workflows, this session provides you with guidance and examples to convert CAD and BIM data into Digital Workplaces that support asset and space management.

Bridging the Gap: From Analytical Models to Revit MEP Systems

Revit software’s analytical tools provide powerful capabilities for schematic MEP design. However, the lack of a native workflow to convert these elements into 3D system-based models often hinders their adoption. This session will share the workflow that both electrical and mechanical teams at IMEG have developed to tackle the challenge of transforming analytical intent into fully functional Revit MEP systems. You’ll learn how to map analytical elements to specific family types, create user-friendly configurators for precise family placement, and build complete systems by connecting MEP family connectors. We’ll demonstrate Automation, Integration, & Customization strategies using Dynamo scripting and robust Revit add-in development. This technical instruction will offer practical and repeatable workflows that enhance Revit software’s early-phase design and overall efficiency, while increasing confidence in its analytical and system modeling tools.

Get Dirty with Data: Building Autodesk Forma Cloud Data with Dynamo

Exchanging data between applications is a favorite problem in architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC). We risk undersharing and oversharing, we worry about working on different versions of a project, and we find our data formats have become compatible! While desktop software systems are the powerhouses driving design and engineering workflows, we need to communicate beyond our desks, often through rapidly changing distributed cloud interfaces. We've been talking about reading and writing data to a shared cloud in Autodesk Forma software for a while—and now it’s time to get our hands dirty! Follow along on your laptop or just enjoy the show. We'll walk through how Forma data is structured and why it’s structured this way, and then we’ll use Dynamo to read and write data from the desktop to the cloud. No skills in Dynamo are needed, but if you can, feel free to follow along. Dynamo will be used to show programmers and nonprogrammers the way that Forma data can be created, edited, and searched from really any application or environment.

Concept to BIM: The Path from the First Sketch to a Finished Model

ATP has developed a systematic workflow to start a project in the right way. We’ve been using Revit intelligent modeling since 2011, and have identified it as the most precise tool for integrated planning across all phases of a construction project. Decisive planning from the start leads to intelligent models with high-level content, even at an early stage. What kind of Information should flow from a project manager to the design team? Which parameters need to be specified as early as possible, so that the data can later be used for cost management, tendering, and construction—as well as for lifecycle analysis? Preparing a solid planning foundation at the beginning of a project using BIM leads to an efficient and clearly structured project flow, eliminating the need for duplicate work processes, and ensuring a smooth path through all project phases. It allows for cost transparency and clarity from the start, avoiding unforeseen costs and leading to higher rate of client satisfaction.

Moving from Revit API Add-Ins to the Design Automation, Integration, & Customization API: A Beginner’s Guide

Traditionally, firms have developed and deployed Revit Add-ins using C# to implement Automation, Integration, & Customizations and custom capabilities in Revit. Autodesk now offers the Automation, Integration, & Customization API, part of the Autodesk Platform Service (APS), which provides access to the Automation, Integration, & Customization capabilities of Autodesk’s core products, including the Revit API. This session will assist developers in transitioning from the Revit API to the Automation, Integration, & Customization API. The Automation, Integration, & Customization API introduces a new workflow that allows developers to access the full Revit DB API without needing a Revit desktop installation. This enables seamless creation, extraction, and modification of Revit data. This workflow facilitates the creation of custom Revit families, data extraction, and more, without the need to open Revit models. We outline from start to finish how to convert a Revit Add-in to Design Automation, Integration, & Customization. This includes using Postman, managing References, Access Tokens, AppBundles, publishing, and running WorkItems.
