Description
When the project teams saw files taking up to 45 minutes to open and AutoCAD crashes becoming routine, they knew their platform was failing them and driving project costs higher. Adding to the pressure, the project was advancing from 60% to 90% plan submittals, a stage when most avoid major platform changes. Migrating off ProjectWise meant transitioning roughly 14,000 files and enabling more than 300 users and 10 subconsultants while keeping design moving forward. This session will show how the Blue Line Light Rail project, a 13-mile corridor, was transitioned to Autodesk Forma (formerly Autodesk Construction Cloud). Learn how a strong proof of concept, Civil 3D workflows, Autodesk-developed tools (including the bulk migration tool), and external Civil 3D tools helped identify and resolve issues during a midproduction migration.
Key Learnings
- Learn how to evaluate migration readiness through proof of concept, decision strategy, and user onboarding communication efforts.
- Learn how to use Autodesk collaboration tools to reconnect data and restore relationships during project migrations.
- Learn about using the bulk migration tool to enable fast, reliable uploading of large project data into Autodesk Forma.
- Learn how to recognize common issues after uploading to Autodesk Forma and apply strategies to mitigate and resolve them.
