Join Quentin Contreras (Autodesk) and Scott Hallmark (Applied Software) for a hands-on lab for creating AutoCAD Plant 3D projects in BIM 360 Team and Fusion Team (formerly A360 Team).

Become a better designer in AutoCAD Plant 3D software by using these tricks of the trade. In this class, you will learn better ways to route pipe, more-efficient ways to develop platforms and structures, tricks to equipment creation using Inventor software for simplifying, and some Catalog editing tricks. This session features AutoCAD Plant 3D and Inventor Professional.

In this session we will look at BIM 360 Glue software and show how to use it with AutoCAD Plant 3D software.

In this class, we share some of the tricks we have learned over the years for working with AutoCAD® Plant 3D software. We cover various ways to route pipe, including rolled offsets, L2P, sloped, F as you go, elevations, and compass settings. We teach you to create equipment templates and use Viewports in Plant 3D modeling. We cover X-ray view, layer and template options, and iso messages and breaks. We explain the model symbols, such as triangles, pluses, inverted triangles, arrows, and the red line of connectivity. Finally, we cover the proper method of making line and inline asset size changes.

Use ReCap software to register your point clouds for use in AutoCAD Plant 3D software. ReCap software simplifies the process of adding new equipment and piping to an existing plant. As-builts can be difficult and getting field measurements that are precise and thorough can be very time-consuming. Using laser scans can ease the pain of this task and make modeling new equipment and piping in as-builts fun again!

Come to this class to learn how to create a simple sheet metal hopper using iLogic and adaptivity in Inventor software.

How do you plan the specs and catalog delivery for projects with globally distant designers? How do you incorporate and manage custom content? In this class, we will look at proven methods for deploying specs and catalogs for the largest of projects that have designers in multiple locations, as well as the smallest of projects in a single office.

This is a forum where you may submit questions to a panel. The panel members will divide the questions among themselves and present answers.
