Model Coordination: How Design Teams Have Moved Beyond the Light Table at PDX Airport

See how Model Coordination was used on the Portland International Airport (PDX) to coordinate design partners, trade partners, and general contractor as-built scans. This class will discuss the philosophy of our use, and the setup and maintenance process, as well as lessons learned along the way. The project joined Autodesk Cloud Services in January 2019 in order to handle the sheer number of team members and data that needed to be coordinated across all teams. The decision to use Model Coordination was heavily targeted toward the leadership group for both design and owner. These folks are not Revit users but are integral to the design process and direction. This platform allowed them to see the design as it developed and offered a unique lens previously unavailable. It also gave them the freedom to explore the design and investigate areas of the building with ease. The platform was used very effectively in regular coordination meetings, client meetings, and client-driven meetings.
