Learn about designing a precast building using Robot and Revit. From a Revit analytical model to structural analysis and design then back again to Revit.
How often have you heard, “That’s how we have always done it” or “That’s not how we do/did it in CAD”? For most of recorded history hand tools were used to fabricate buildings and furniture, and now we use computer controlled robots to 3D print concrete and cut out flat pack furniture. Scribing measurements on a story stick just doesn’t work with a robot. Bridging the gap between what has been an efficient workflow using one tool and understanding the more nuanced behavior of a new tool can be a tricky task. Revit implementation is often touted as a 50% or greater time savings over a CAD workflow. This is very achievable for the same deliverables, but most firms don’t end up seeing this savings in labor, and some see dramatic increases in production hours. As offices switch over from CAD to Revit, whether fully, piecemeal or while continuing to maintain a CAD work, a lot of methodologies and graphical elements are maintained for various reasons that negatively impact getting the most out of Revit. It can be hard to set aside long standing practices, but as we once set aside Tsquares and dip pens for parallel bars and technical pens, we set aside those for CAD and plotters, the architectural field has changed how it created construction documents. Changing to a modeled building design workflow requires revisiting tools and methodologies that we’ve become accustomed to. This class will address several common hangups that occur at various levels of user and management. This class will look at what is practical to hold on to vs what actually costs firms time and money, and finding some “easier ways” to generate more accurate construction documents more quickly.. Participants will be presented with multiple workflow issues that are common architectural practice which reduce efficient workflow and accuracy. They will be presented with best practices and creative workarounds to mitigate those problems This presentation is intended for Revit users, BIM managers, and Project Managers for small to midsized firms. Information will be presented that can be utilized by a novice working in a welldeveloped Revit program, by a newer Revit manager trying to transition a firm, to an established BIM Manager seeking to improve their office user workflow.
Learn how to use photogrammetry for reality capture compared to other moreexpensive and timeconsuming processes using the Hurricane Harvey Recovery Efforts as a case study.
Bring your sketchbook into the 21st century. Learn how you can leverage a tablet in a mobile environment to stay connected and integrated with the design process, regardless of the location.
This session will not be software specific. It will be a visual presentation providing examples of processes used for enhanced workflows from multiple angles. This includes but not limited to integration of multiple software resources, technology insight, cloud computing, and technology resources.
Advertising is what you pay for, press is what you pray for! Join us for the Autodesk AEC Public Relations team’s inaugural media training session at Autodesk University. Learn how to effectively differentiate your company from others in the industry and to tell your story across multiple channels earned, owned, and social media. This session will help your team understand how to identify the most interesting people and projects and to make some noise.

Learn the basics of conducting laser scanning for AEC purposes. Explore how to bring the point cloud product into modeling workflows.
In this session we will discuss ways to utilize global parameters to not only control the model but to have the model control details without having to use the align tool. We will also discuss how to utilized information from a linked model to control elements in the host model
