What Is the Truly Valuable DX for the Construction Site
We’ve been working on concrete measures to make HQ-initiated digital transformation work on site in real projects. Understanding the capability of new technologies, we’ve started working closely with Autodesk to realize what we really want on site. When we tried to implement new technologies into the actual workflow, we faced various obstacles, both small and large. But we had to solve all of them. After numerous trials and errors, we’ve dramatically changed our way of working by moving all drawings and documents from paper to electronic (PlanGrid), moving data from local to cloud (BIM 360), and transforming 2D drawings into 3D models and virtual reality (VR). Our work efficiency related to drawings has improved by 30%, and we’re now also able to produce valuable outputs for our clients. We’ll talk about the challenges and possibilities for the future from a realistic point of view, because we are the people in charge at the site.

Supersize Me: Worksets with Links, Object Protection, Families Versus Groups Versus Links

This Supersize Me class focuses on delivering large or mammoth projects with Autodesk® Revit® software. We will focus on three topics that can make or break a large Revit project. 
First, we will show you how worksets and links together unlock the gates of a large Revit project, and how these two areas represent one of the fundamental pieces of having a successful large Revit project. Next, on any Revit project, when something gets deleted by accident, it can be painful. On a large project it can cause days or weeks worth of rework. We will show you how to protect Revit objects from being moved, deleted, or modified. Finally, we will take a hard look at families versus groups versus links. Unfortunately they have similar characteristics and often get used in place of each other. We will talk about each tool and discuss why and how they work, when to use them, and when not to use them. You will gain an understanding of why each tool can be both destructive or constructive to any Revit project.

Building Ops: Cross-Platform Workflows for a Mobile Asset Management Solution
To date, created and collected asset data has been siloed within its respective native software, forcing users to extract information from each software and aggregate it to create a custom electronic deliverable. This is a very time-consuming manual process with inconsistent deliverables to owners. Cross-platform workflows in the Autodesk, Inc., suite has enabled information to be passed from one software to the next, resulting in a more-aggregated, seamless deliverable. Class attendees will learn how to capitalize on the Autodesk suite of products (Navisworks software, BIM 360 Glue software, BIM 360 Field software, Building Ops software) to efficiently tie the intelligent model and collected asset data together for better use and navigation of the closeout deliverable. We will highlight a recently completed project that adopted Building Ops software as an asset management tool, gaining efficiency in the facility management process.

Autodesk® Quantity Takeoff: Visualize, Price, Communicate
This class will highlight the use of Autodesk Quantity Takeoff software to streamline the preconstruction process for creating cost estimates based on building information models from multiple sources. We will use a recent case study to show off the ability of Quantity Takeoff to maximize the translation of information from the intelligent models into the contractor's estimate. The presentation will highlight the workflow changes inherent when moving from traditional 2D drawings, binders, and spreadsheets to a dynamic, integrated 5D model. This process enables efficient identification and resolution of potential issues. You will learn how to visually communicate the various cost impacts on the estimate to the building owner, designers, and other project stakeholders during and beyond the preconstruction phase. Another Quantity Takeoff benefit is early collaboration between architect and contractor that leads to greater efficiency and reduced risk for owners during construction, at project turnover, and throughout the life of the building.
