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.

Grading parking lots incorporates complex design concepts and creative use of Civil 3D tools. Feature lines have always been the reliable standard, but recent additions to corridors make their inclusion a must. Through a combination of new features and solid workflows, we can now produce a faster, more dynamic process while still maintaining flexibility. We'll begin this class with a story of how Kimley-Horn and Autodesk collaborated to improve site design by improving how curbs are built using corridors. The ability to now create dozens of baselines and regions in a few clicks (along with other recent new features and conditional subassemblies) makes for a much faster workflow. We'll also give guidance on when to use corridors, feature lines, or both. We believe corridors for parking lot grading has finally arrived! Join John Armendariz and Brian Levendowski, along with Tim Yarris, Civil 3D product manager, to learn about these new tools, and how to apply them to your projects.

Can you maximize the capabilities of Revit software (versions forevermore, especially 2022) as much as you’d like to? Join this conversation (spiced with true war stories) about some of our favorite workflows, shortcuts, tips and tricks, plug-ins, and resources—it’ll help you gain methods to enhance your deliverables and dial up your productivity. One of the challenges of Revit (both 2022 and much older versions) is the number of ways there are to accomplish an objective. We’ll talk about tricks for resolving curve balls in model, view, family, and annotation management and creation. Other conversation topics will include keystroke tricks, out-of-the-box and custom keyboard shortcuts, and simple macros (including Revit Macro IDE). We’ll also segue to cover tools to help you get the best performance in both file-based and cloud-shared projects in Revit; interoperability between Revit and AutoCAD and ReCap software; and system configuration tweaks to optimize Revit performance, even in the latest version.

This class will introduce a wide range of Autodesk cloud-based tools, from quick exchanges with the shared views feature for 3D models and 2D documentation to Forma Design Collaboration (formerly BIM 360 Design software) for multiteam collaboration. Learn about how connecting workflows, teams, and data can reduce risk, minimize rework, and maximize efficiency when designing and detailing a steel structure.

Building projects are already realized with the innovative Autodesk Forma, a data and collaboration platform enabling different planning disciplines and teams to work together in a common data environment. In a factory planning project, those planning disciplines are enhanced with teams needing to integrate complex production lines, conveyor systems, steel structure, and even logistics equipment. Hidden behind firewalls, software installed and running on-premise forces teams to handle time-consuming and inefficient data exchange, disconnected collaboration tracking processes, and inadequate viewing and reviewing of tasks. This class will demonstrate how Autodesk’s Cloud Services make it possible to efficiently exchange data between on-premise systems and cloud solutions (off premise). We’ll showcase and provide a best-practice approach, and cover how to set up a model coordination space in Forma Design Collaboration to manage a holistic factory model, its clashes and issues, and its review tasks.

Are you interested in using Forma Design Collaboration (formerly BIM 360 Design software) for multidisciplinary projects? This class is for you! Following a quick product overview, we'll dive into a live project for a whirlwind tour. We’ll start in the authoring tools—working with files from Revit software, Civil 3D software, and AutoCAD Plant 3D software—and show you how to share those files to the cloud. Next, we'll jump into design collaboration, where each design team will create and share its work packages. We'll then move over to model coordination and review any 3D clashes that have popped up. From there, we’ll visit BIM 360 Docs software and see how all project stakeholders have roles to play in model viewing, sharing, markups, issues, and more. Finally, we'll wrap up our journey in Insight building performance analysis software, where we’ll track the health of our project at a glance. This fast-paced course will help you in your decision about whether to adopt Forma Design Collaboration within your own firm.
