This hands-on lab is created and led by the software development team behind the product. You will have opportunity to get your questions answered and to provide feedback directly to the people creating new features.

Ensuring that data stays at the center of the design-to-construction process, as well as connecting that information across architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) disciplines, can lead to significant efficiency gains for the industry. In this class, we’ll explore how to seamlessly integrate and transfer data across a building retrofit process—from on-site survey to structural retrofit design to project visualization and construction documentation. Learn how a team of Autodeskers and engineers from Build Change—a nonprofit organization that helps communities design and construct more-disaster-resistant buildings—used Dynamo to: connect survey data from a third-party application to Revit software; automate the creation of 3D as-builts, retrofit designs, and construction sheets; streamline structural engineering analysis; and provide project owners with an interactive visualization of the final design—and how these concepts and skills can be applied beyond the building retrofit process.

This class presents advanced AutoCAD Civil 3D corridor modeling techniques used to accomplish various roadway design objectives. Most of the workflows were developed while working on highway overlay and widening projects for California Department of Transportation. We will show students modeling solutions that were created using corridor targeting, conditional subassemblies, and subassembly output properties.

The evolution of BIM tools and processes combining Generative Design and Automation offers new possibilities to the architects and engineers working on complex buildings and its vital interiors, in this case a hospital and its pharmacy. AP-HP Group, representing 39 hospitals in Paris, collaborates with ENGIE AXIMA BIM Factory to re-design the pharmacy and the flows inside it. In this class you will see how we have utilized Dynamo, Refinery and coding. We will demonstrate how algorithms allow us to carry out parametric studies on the «generative space plan» and optimize «automatic generation of a 3D BIM model». We will show how we have used macro and micro generation to evaluate the different options for flow optimization of people and goods present in the pharmacy and how to make qualitative and logistic analysis. The result is a better architectural configuration of the Hospital pharmacy and an improved working environment.

The traditional approach calls for engineers to produce both plan view and riser diagrams for plumbing work. This method calls for duplicated information. This is both wasteful and error prone. To achieve a connected BIM (Building Information Modeling) project, we need a way to connect the plan views to the riser diagrams. This can be accomplished using 3D riser diagrams. This demo will cover how to use Revit tools to produce 3D riser diagrams. We will discuss all the benefits to using 3D risers and how to get your project managers on board with using them for construction documents. We will provide examples of how to create, annotate, and manipulate 3D risers to plot clearly and accurately. We will also touch on the typical issues and how to fix or prevent those issues from happening.

This class will explore DynaShape, a free and open-source Dynamo package for constraint-based form finding, optimization, and physics simulation. DynaShape helps you design exciting, creative, and practical architectural forms based on understandings of clever geometric principles combined with the magic of computational algorithms. We will introduce you to powerful and fun-to-use conceptual design tools and techniques that are quite unusual in Dynamo and Revit software. All will take place directly inside the familiar Dynamo environment, with interactive visual feedback.

Congestion and greenhouse gas from private vehicles is a serious cause of worry, and many cities are turning to public transit to make sure citizens have safe, reliable, and regular access to their cities. Join us for this lab to learn how to use the InfraWorks software API (application programming interface) to create functionality that enables the planning and analysis of public-transit changes in a conceptual design environment. You will also learn how the InfraWorks software API can help determine the walkability of a neighborhood, the access to amenities, and the environmental impact of a route.

In this class, you will learn how Civil 3D software and 3ds Max software are used in conjunction to develop roadway animations and photo simulations. We will go through how corridors are made and how they are brought into 3ds Max for finishing work using Civil View in 3ds Max.

Product development is a pain, right? It doesn't have to be. Let us walk you through it. We're 2 industrial designers with a knack for teaching. Design thinking is a great process to move a team quickly from problem space to solutions. But it's just that: a cognitive process. What do you do with all those great ideas? This class will be a hands-on introduction to design thinking and making. In small teams, we'll work rapidly through a design challenge using a human-centered approach, and develop virtual prototypes using Fusion 360 software. We’ll give participants a project brief, and select teams at random. The focus of this highly engaging workshop is to rapidly develop a product solution (as a team) through design thinking and conceptual realization using Fusion 360. Teams will prepare and present their solutions in an informal share.

Autodesk Research’s in-house architectural studio, The Living, is a pioneer in the application of generative-design technology. They have completed successful projects for Airbus—the famous bionic partition for the A320—and internal to Autodesk, including both the design of the new office in Toronto’s MaRS Discovery District and the exhibit hall layout for last year’s Autodesk University. In late 2016, The Living was approached by Van Wijnen, an innovative Dutch construction company interested in reinventing the way the firm built homes. Van Wijnen wanted to apply generative design at the urban scale, exploring possibilities around the layout of residential areas based on financial, sociological, or environmental metrics. Speakers from Autodesk Research will present the concept behind the project and details of the Dynamo-based tool that Van Wijnen uses for new layouts. Additionally, a speaker from Van Wijnen will talk about how the tool is used and has changed the way the firm approaches urban planning projects.

In this class we will study Roadway Design for InfraWorks 360 software, the add-on module that brings you engineered horizontal and vertical curves, profile optimization, automatically generated plan and profile sheets in AutoCAD Civil 3D software, and much more. If you thought InfraWorks 360 software was just for making pretty pictures, think again. In this class you'll learn how InfraWorks 360 software can become a powerful engineering design tool for designing and modeling roads the way an engineer would do it.

It is no small thing to leave a mark on our fast-changing, complex world. As architects, we design for people in one of the most permanent design fields. This lasting impact makes inclusive design our foremost value and responsibility. To do this, we need to develop a deep awareness of the social, cultural, and environmental needs of the people we serve. The proliferation of the digital toolset has given us the ability to transcend traditional architectural practice for the first time in generations. Capitalizing on augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR), we have the ability to better understand the people who inhabit our buildings by simulating experiences related to vision, mobility, and communication. We can’t expect to truly comprehend an individual’s contextual and cumulative experiences, but if we are able to tap into others’ abilities and sensorial comprehension, our designs can be more sensitive to the broader community and cause fewer impediments in the built environment.

This lab will focus on the new Schema Editor in InfraWorks software; learn what it is, see how to create custom attributes for the various object classes, and then apply it to a real-world situation. We’ll begin by creating custom attributes for an existing model. We’ll then import geographic information system (GIS) data to build upon our InfraWorks model, and then populate the custom attributes using a spreadsheet and the JavaScript Scripting Console. Once our attributes have been updated, we’ll apply this to a real-world situation by creating Feature Themes to highlight object classes based on their custom attribute values. To wrap up, you’ll learn how you can reuse your customized, extended data in future models.

Come to this session to learn about workflow between Autodesk applications regarding how to generate an infrastructure Building Information Modeling (BIM) model.
