From the required documentation in ensuring data security to the use of BIM 360 Docs software and BIM 360 Field software to bring design information to the site, this class will go over all the requirements to close the gap between architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) design and project execution. Using BIM 360 tools, attendees will learn how to capitalize on information between all project stakeholders, thanks to a model-based communication system that is always available via the cloud. With the use of optimized workflows and proper technology use, construction projects can finally benefit from intelligent models on every stage and at all locations.

BIM 360 Design software provides powerful collaboration tools for architects and engineers through the use of its design collaboration workflow and Revit cloud collaboration capabilities. However, since it is built on and includes the BIM 360 Document Management service, it offers much more to those who want to take their cloud collaborations to the next level, and the next-generation BIM 360 Model Coordination service offers a more integrated and streamlined clash management utility. This class will show you how to take the data that you may already have in BIM 360 Design and use Document Management and Model Coordination to up your game, taking your collaboration and coordination efforts to the next level.

In the spring of 2018, Autodesk introduced BIM 360 Design software, based on the Forge platform, and BIM 360 Document Management. While users still have access to the legacy BIM 360 Team technology, BIM 360 Design provides enhanced collaboration workflows, greater control over file permissions, and much tighter integration with BIM 360 Docs software for use in "downstream" collaboration workflows during a project’s postdesign phases. This class will focus on the enhanced workflows possible with Design Collaboration and Revit cloud collaboration, and will cover project setup, teams and permissions, and the use of packages to effectively control when others have access to your data and when data from other teams is updated in your model. We will also look at common troubleshooting techniques and BIM 360 site setup.

This presentation will be a case study of the award-winning Calgary Cancer Centre (CCC). This project entails a tower and podium and has a $1.4 billion budget. We will examine the integration of digital modeling and cloud collaboration processes involved in delivering an award-winning building. Our main challenges were communicating effectively between the project team(s) during the design-build process, and effectively using cloud-based platforms to optimal efficiency to provide our deliverables. There was an extensive scope that we had to deliver on time and within budget. The project team had to determine a workflow to manage more than 90 Revit models via the cloud platform (BIM 360 software). The cloud infrastructure enabled us to effectively communicate with internal and external project teams to exchange information. The presentation will be full of many simple yet effective examples to help elevate your workflow and efficiency levels.

Cloud-based Revit software and AutoCAD software collaboration can mean many things to many people. For some people it means running these applications completely in the cloud. For others, it means running the applications in offices and using the cloud to share the files. Then there’s the ability to have both of these models together. This session will show how users running Revit software or AutoCAD software in the cloud can collaborate on the same Revit models or CAD files at the same time with users in the office. Users in both locations have the same fast performance with sync with central, element borrowing, and Worksharing Monitor with no change in workflow. This session will show a demonstration of users in an office environment collaborating with users in a partner office environment where the applications are running in the cloud.

A single source of truth is critical for information exchanges in rail and urban large complex projects involving diverse disciplines—from highways, structures, and architecture to dry and wet utilities. It allows enhanced real-time coordination and supports sustainability through carbon tracking. This case study will discuss how SYSTRA adopted this approach for large-scale, industrial, city infrastructure projects spanning more than 45 square kilometers and housing 90,000 people. We'll showcase how this approach empowered global task teams from France, India, Saudi Arabia, and Dubai to transcend geographical barriers, enabling real-time coordination that drove the creation of complex designs. We'll also show how we used in-house tools like eLODY (Model Checker), PABLO (digital twin), and CARBON TRACKER (derived from Autodesk Platform Services) to streamline design delivery, ensuring adherence to ISO 19650 information management standard for superior project outcomes for all stakeholders.

Brown University School of Engineering is a true IPD (integrated project delivery) project in the United States. BuroHappold Engineering and KieranTimberlake, along with Shawmut Design and Construction and their trade partners, created a plan that would involve complete live collaboration between all parties utilizing Collaboration for Revit cloud service. This involved all parties working in a live model environment while developing their design. Trade partners would be simultaneously coordinating all building systems in preparation for construction. Developing a seamless transition from design to construction model was an opportunity. The team was able to design in Revit software while creating content that was ready for fabrication. The process continued through construction using BIM 360 Glue software for final conflict resolution and then onto BIM Field 360 software, ensuring coordinated installation of all services. You will learn best practices and optimum setup enabling smooth movement of data from team to team and platform to platform for all project scales.

Recent global impacts are changing the way infrastructure is planned, engineered, constructed, and maintained. More process participants are working remotely, teams are progressively distributed across locations, and requirements for collaborative cloud environments have dramatically increased. This has all coincided with streamlining connections between building information modeling (BIM) and geographic information system (GIS) workflows and sharing new system engagement views with more collaborators in ArcGIS GeoBIM. Although customers are benefitting from cloud-to-cloud integrations, others wonder how best to modernize their approaches in order to reduce risk, increase transparency in infrastructure asset delivery, and bridge information gaps between project participants. Come learn how teams from Arcadis, HDR, HNTB, and VolkerWessels are connecting their BIM and GIS data environments that inform stakeholders on progress, easily sharing process views of complex projects and planning sustainable business practices for teams, clients, and the asset lifecycle.

A Project BIM Execution Plan (BExP) is more than just a document; it is the common language that becomes the roadmap for digital collaboration, strategy and deliverables. Sure, the average BExP will define the basics. But what good are the BExP outputs without a well-defined information exchange process? With the continuous evolution of platform integrations directly into native BIM environments, why do we assume all project participants know these new workflows and protocols? Enter cloud-based technology planning. Late engagement and undefined workflows set up your project for failure and reduce the likelihood of choosing the best workflows. Cloud-based technology and early collaboration between designer and builder have put a spotlight on expeditious kickoff meetings for successful BIM Execution. New technology now enables early sharing of information and greatly impacts cross-discipline collaboration and risk mitigation. In this class, we’ll examine project-specific BExPs and Information Exchange Diagrams to highlight where project impacts can be avoided through proper cloud-based collaboration planning. From Project Conception to Building Handover, you’ll leave with tangible examples of how to setup your project stakeholders for collaborative success.
