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.

Conditioned BIM Data Powers Connected Construction

BIM (Building Information Modeling) and virtual design and construction (VDC) managers serve pivotal roles in empowering stakeholders across multiple disciplines and teams to fully maximize the BIM data stored in the model. Design models often lack construction data needed for downstream use, but adding customized information to a conditioned and structured model can result in a model that can be utilized from design to construction to handover. Currently, siloed solutions force teams to maintain multiple sources of truth for project documents at different project phases, resulting in heightened confusion. In this session, we will cover how project teams can incorporate integrated workflows with Assemble software, and get the full benefit of a common data environment (CDE) used by other Autodesk construction solutions, facilitating collaboration between project members to avoid duplication and mistakes.
