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.

Twinning TISR: A “Hot” Take on Sustainable Environmental Restoration Using Digital Prototypings

Explore deploying a digitalized design and monitoring workflow for a thermal remediation system (TISR®). Using Autodesk Forma, Autodesk Construction Cloud, Revit, and Autodesk Tandem software, the project establishes a seamless lifecycle workflow from early-stage planning and data harmonization to real-time monitoring and maintenance. Forma optimizes solar energy feasibility analysis and site planning, while Autodesk Construction Cloud ensures standardized data exchange across stakeholders. Revit enables detailed 3D parametric modeling. And Tandem integrates telemetry data to monitor system performance. You’ll learn how Digital Prototypings enhance operational performance, reduce the need for on-site visits, lower greenhouse gas emissions, and improve collaboration between stakeholders. Explore the transformative potential of Digital Prototyping platforms for advancing sustainable asset management, conserving resources, and increasing infrastructure resilience in environmental restoration.

Building Rich GIS Solutions to Automate Network Statement Processes for Utilities

In this class, we will focus on geospatial solutions for utilities based on enterprise industry models in Autodesk® Infrastructure Map Server and Autodesk AutoCAD® Map 3D software. In several steps, we will demonstrate all important aspects of building a rich GIS solution using as an example a project for a large water and wastewater group in the Czech Republic. We will cover the project from the migration of five different geospatial solutions into one Autodesk platform to actual activities in integration with external customer relations management (CRM) and maintenance systems. One of the top benefits of this solution is full or partial automation of network statement processes, starting with collecting electronic statement requests from a public site, automatically evaluating them in GIS, and responding in cooperation with CRM and internal processes. This process, as well as additional automation possibilities, will be described and demonstrated on a real example.

Look Good in Public: Using InfraWorks to Engage the Community

This class will cover the development of an InfraWorks software model from a wide variety of data sources. We will examine the various subjects, including the importation of geographic information system (GIS) raster and vector data, 3D models, civil 3D surfaces and alignments, creation of custom 3D models in 3ds Max software, and use of storyboard and export to create compelling project videos. We will examine workflows of an actual project and we'll focus on the process used to develop an InfraWorks software model for the modernization of a generating facility in Tempe, Arizona. This model has been used in the public outreach process.

Build Custom User Interfaces and Interactions for Dynamo

Up and Running with MVVM form Dynamo Extensions. Never heard of a View Model? Not sure what Model-View-ViewModel means, and why MVVM has so many V’s in it? This developer workshop will get you ready to program your own creative extensions for Dynamo, by first helping you understand the structure of Dynamo itself. We’ll introduce WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation) for making a GUI, and we will implement the MVVM design pattern to list and save keyboard shortcuts. Then, we will see the same design pattern in the Dynamo source code, albeit at a much more complicated level. Finally, you will integrate your keyboard shortcut dialog into Dynamo itself using the extension framework. We’ll improve the user experience in Dynamo, speeding up graph development for everyone.

Dynamo for Structure

Very few classes focus on how Dynamo software could be used in the structural design office from a practical level-until now. This class will teach attendees how to use Dynamo to help model structural elements in Revit software, how to quality-control Revit model and analytical models, and even show how Dynamo could be used to help annotate structural drawings. If you model any type of Revit structural elements, then this class is for you. We will make modeling structure in Revit fun again!

Additive Manufacturing for Production

This class will show you how to use Revit software to create 3D mold drawings that are used to produce large-format 3D printed molds. We’ll cover the process of going from conceptual design to production mold tickets then to programming specific mold files with Revit and Inventor software. We’ll demonstrate a real-life project that went from a dream to reality in less than a year. You’ll see a real-world R&D project, the use of generative design, and the effects in production on a project that now highlights the New York City skyline.

From coding to visualization, the integration of IES light automated framework

Engineers, Architects and Designers are persistently constrained to provide a greater performance and better solutions when it comes to applying light effectively. Our process will enhance the BIM collaboration level and address how Generative Design can help manufacturers to produce more with less resources, energy and time to support sustainability. This class will go beyond the fundamentals of interior design lighting and dive into settings to promptly prototyped an automated system that can understand the requirements for the photometric light, select proper schemes, and calculate the level of lighting. We will learn how to link the IES files to any light rendering software then by altering the code preferences we can achieve accurate visuals that can be adjusted and updated at real time. The chosen design will be automatically translated into BIM data that will generate electrical plans and instantly calculate the intensity and quantity of light required for a particular space.

Migrating to AutoCAD® Map 3D Enterprise: A Real-World Experience

This class will present the challenges that were encountered, the methods that were used to overcome the challenges, and the successes that were achieved while migrating a medium-sized municipal electric utility to AutoCAD Map 3D Enterprise software. Independence Power and Light (IPL) in Independence, Missouri, underwent a full system migration with Autodesk Consulting this year. That migration included replacing many homegrown and legacy systems with modern Autodesk technology as well as integration with and interfaces to other systems vital to the utility. Autodesk Consulting performed a full system assessment and worked closely with IPL to develop a road map to successfully make these changes.
