Assets: Behind the Scenes

During this presentation we'll explain how to set up assets based on design files. We'll explore how to determine which assets need to be defined and what data can be associated in order for successful commissioning during the construction phase. We'll start by looking at how we can extract data from Revit, Navisworks, and AutoCAD software, and how we can prepare for assets import using the model-based workflow. As assets get installed in rooms and spaces, it's also critical to find a way to tie them to an LBS (location breakdown structure). Once we've defined these assets within Autodesk Construction Cloud, we'll show a way of creating a bidirectional link between the object in the design file and the Autodesk Construction Cloud database. We'll finish up using asset color coding on the 3D model, and run some reports we can use to show the progress of commissioning these objects.
