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.

Business Intelligence Within Autodesk Products Done the Disney Way
Do you want to understand how your portfolio of projects are performing hosted on BIM 360 and Autodesk Forma? Would you like to maximum the value of your Autodesk analytics investment? This case study will cover a data product design developed by Walt Disney Parks and Resorts and Autodesk Consulting. We will give an overview of Disney's business requirements, KPIs, and metrics. We will list technical aspects of the data ELT (extracting, loading, and transforming) from Autodesk Data Connector. An area of focus will be the data engineering processes required to produce meaningful consolidated tables, where data from the Data Connector is sliced and diced to target customers' KPIs. The final products include an account users' management tool and three health-scoring systems, which are used to compare projects' health scores based on customized metrics. The products transform raw data into actionable insights that inform tactical business decisions. The scores generated equip Disney with detailed intelligence about the state of business.

Our Experience in Business Transformation to Digital Process in Construction
Copachisa is a general contractor of projects ranging from 100,000 sq. ft. to 1 million sq. ft. from schematic design to as-built documentation. In this session, we will share our experience moving forward working in a collaborative environment using Autodesk Forma. Before the pandemic, we usually worked with our information in a physical server. Due the necessity of working remotely, we decided to use BIM 360 software. The challenge was to move 40+ subcontractors and about 42 active projects very quickly (roughly two weeks). The most relevant part was first training the design teams, and then the whole organization. In a short time, we noticed the benefits of working in a web-based environment—for instance, extracting project data to conduct analytics—so we decided to expand our design workflows to precon and construction teams covering the entire project lifecycle. In 2023, we're redefining our internal processes, and by the beginning of 2024, the complete project cycle will be running in this environment.

From Quick Sketches to Autodesk Forma for Electrical Substation Delivery
Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN) will be managing the expansion of its Transmission Infrastructure to meet carbon net zero and growth in offshore wind generation by 2030, with an expected annual project spend of £1 billion. With growing demands on resources and a goal to save £250 million by 2026, SSEN partnered with Mott MacDonald to develop a practical approach for substation design using Autodesk Forma and the Autodesk suite of tools. While the traditional methods were fit for purpose, we needed to minimize data loss between project stages, enhance collaboration, and optimize the productivity of the workforce. Adoption of this workflow led to a 30% time savings in the early design phase and improved transfer of project data during detail design. And it provided tangible insights for process improvement and business decisions. The result is a workflow that's scalable and can be adopted across different organizations looking for transformational change to their infrastructure delivery.

How to Avoid Wasting Water and Energy with the Help of BIM and GIS
In 2018, Italian Railways launched a project to help its 630 stations meet sustainable management standards, leading to savings in water and energy use. FSTechnology, a division of Italian Railways, integrated Esri and Autodesk software to improve workflows for survey, design, and maintenance of its railway stations. Interoperability between Autodesk Forma, Civil 3D, and Esri ArcGIS enables a digital twin of the entire network. A GIS web app of the whole Italian network, including every site and station, was developed to monitor the status of the entire system. An interactive dashboard allows the management team to keep an eye on the KPI and take action whenever needed. FSTechnology is currently working to include Autodesk Tandem in the workflow to collect data from IoT devices, such as meters or sensors.

How Digital Project Delivery Increases Operational Efficiency
During this class, projects members of the TELT Infrastructure megaproject will explain how to improve operational efficiency with the support of the Autodesk Forma platform and different desktop software systems. Digital project delivery helps solve one of the main challenges of the construction project: collaboration. It does this by providing up-to-date information, documents, and models, and initiating the revision workflow and the process of the design problems on the platform. From reality capture to existing-condition modeling, from design authoring to design review, the JV has been able to embrace the benefit of constructing digitally before constructing in reality, thanks to the cloud collaboration.

Managing Highly Complex Revit Families: The Tunnel Prefabricated Ring Case
Advanced building information modeling (BIM) processes require us to consider modeling with different lenses: personas interacting on a shared model extracting different BIM uses throughout the different project lifecycle stages. We'll look at the specific case of "tunnel ring segment” modeling and all the phases that have been conducted to a Revit model that is open, universal, and fully parametric so it can be used from bidding to execution and from planners to fabricators. The class will show how Bouygues Travaux Publics went from collecting users' needs to formalizing a specification and developing a Revit family and all its applications in Revit, InfraWorks, Navisworks, and Autodesk Forma. We'll focus on the benefits realized with the application in a project now in the construction phase.

Data-Driven: Digitally Share CAD Data Throughout the Product Lifecycle
CAD data is the most important intellectual property that a manufacturer has. Autodesk offers products that create, manage, and enrich this data. AutoCAD, Inventor, and Autodesk Fusion 360 software create this data while Vault, Fusion 360 Manage Extension, and Upchain help manage it. The cloud-based Fusion 360 and Autodesk Forma platforms facilitate collaboration within the field, while Prodsmart helps collaboration within production. Simultaneously, aspects of this data need to be shared with other enterprise systems like ERP. Ultimately, all these systems must be able to share aspects of this data throughout the lifecycle of a manufacturer's products. We'll demonstrate, via examples of Autodesk customer projects, how technologies such as Autodesk Platform Services and other third-party technologies make it possible to share this important data between these systems rather than leaving it siloed in different systems.
