FormIt Pro software is Autodesk's premier architecture, engineering, and construction 3D modeling and analysis environment for conceptual and computational design workflows. Take advantage of FormIt Pro in the Architecture, Engineering & Construction Collection to expand and diversify your services while designing with sustainability in mind. This class will address the value that FormIt software brings to early stage design. We’ll talk about the simplicity of getting started, the direct connection to Revit software with less rework, the unique combination of Dynamo computation and direct manipulation, the ability to maximize location and weather data for sustainable analysis, and more. We will review how FormIt Pro complements other products in the AEC Collection, including Revit, InfraWorks software, Dynamo, and the Insight Energy Analysis tool. We will cover a brief history of FormIt and the product principles that we use to prioritize new work and future directions. Finally, we’ll address the future of the product and where we’ll be investing, and lay out a road map for achieving the future vision.

FormIt Pro software is Autodesk's premier architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) 3D modeling and analysis environment for conceptual and computational design workflows. Take advantage of FormIt Pro in the Architecture, Engineering & Construction Collection to expand and diversify your services while designing with sustainability in mind. This class will show workflows that involve FormIt Pro and other products in the AEC Collection. Start your FormIt Pro model by assigning a location and importing a BIM context from InfraWorks software for 3D terrain, buildings, and roadways. Explore design options quickly and efficiently in FormIt Pro by integrating Dynamo graphs while controlling the graph through FormIt Pro software’s simple interface. Quantify and present design options by importing a FormIt Pro massing model into Revit software to quickly document space-planning and feasibility studies. Present real-time visualizations to clients by importing a more detailed FormIt Pro model into Revit for a walk-through, and continue to detail and document the design in Revit.

This lab session will focus on some of the newer features of FormIt 360 Pro software, as well as tips and tricks to help with your FormIt 360 Pro workflow. We'll create a building with FormIt 360 Pro software using the Microsoft Windows app. We'll also spend some time understanding the Dynamo Studio workflow within FormIt 360 Pro for Windows software, and how we can use it for quick design iterations.

So you want to get your hands on some cool software and see just how much you can achieve in an hour of learning—it's a lot! Come and have fun exploring FormIt and the variety of workflows you can utilise for smart conceptual building design.

We see an increasing demand for parking structures in the Danish market. With a tight business case you need to differentiate yourself to beat your competitors.

At MT Højgaard, we have developed a dynamic parking structure concept to address the market regardless of design, surroundings, and building site. To make the concept even more competitive we created a design configurator to be used in the early conceptual design and all the way to construction documents and estimation. We will exemplify the use of the configurator based on a client's case.

This presentation/live demo will cover how MT Højgaard has automated and optimized the process of designing a parking garage, going from early concept ideas to final estimation and simulation. We will take you through the workflow and show the possibilities in software that include FormIT pro, Dynamo Studio, Project Fractal, Revit, Dynamo for Revit and iTWO.

Architects and engineers must increasingly consider building performance during the design process, and Insight offers them a beautiful, intuitive platform with centralized access to its building-energy and environmental-performance data and advanced-analysis engines. Through robust bidirectional BIM (Building Information Modeling) integration, direct access to leading analysis tools, and guidance and recommendations from industry benchmarks such as Architecture 2030 and ASHRAE 90.1, designers can pursue better performance outcomes throughout the building lifecycle. In this session, we will explore Insight through FormIt Pro and Revit software. We will explore the automatic analytical model-creation features, take advantage of cloud computing to consider millions of potential outcomes at once, and share these insights with the team, all in the name of achieving better outcomes continuously and consistently, from early targeting and feasibility all the way through to operation.
