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.

Smarter MEP Collaboration and MEP Design Verifications by Dynamo

As an MEP (mechanical, electrical, and plumbing) engineer, we’ve used architectural/structural models for just visualizing 3D elements. The next step is to analyze Revit data and think about how to interface this model with another in the same geometries by Dynamo. In this class, we’ll explore two examples of Dynamo ideas among MEP services. The first Dynamo script will provide automated checks between plumbing fixtures and the structural ribs before modeling pipework. When receiving the architectural/structural models, we can run quick checks with Dynamo—and when input information changes, we just rerun Dynamo to quickly update results. Second, we can check the distances between two specified objects/ranges of similar objects with given conditions. Understanding this script will help Dynamo users write similar scripts to verify MEP designs in order to meet regulations and standards—for example, to verify relations between air intake and air exhaust, or exhaust and architectural doors and windows.
