Description
Large and complex projects often present large and complex problems that can last a lifetime if not properly managed. One of those problems can be establishing the appropriate geolocation of buildings on a site, or, in Revit-speak, "shared coordinates." As we explore two Bavarian-inspired destination towns that have been years in the making, and are worth billions of dollars in investment, time, and coordination, we’ll analyze how time can cause geographical data to shift and leave a place in space not where you thought it once was. Understand how this impacts existing built work and causes anticipated construction schedules to shift, and see how to reestablish shared coordinates in multiple platforms (Revit software, Civil 3D software, AutoCAD software, Navisworks software) to prevent miscommunications and downtime before it happens. The translation of data from party to party throughout the lifecycle of a project is vital. Join us as we discuss some of the do’s and don’ts developed throughout decades of relationships with these two projects.
Key Learnings
- Learn how to re-establish shared coordinates so that multiple platforms can use data and coordinate effectively.
- Learn what considerations to make for projects that span decades when considering shared-coordinate establishment.
- Learn about which parties should be present for initial conversations when the design team changes, and what questions to ask.
- Learn about how coordinates behave in different platforms (Revit, Civil 3D, AutoCAD, Navisworks) and what each stakeholder needs.
