Design, Build, Experience: Immersive Digital Workplaces (REPEAT)

Imagine walking a design site before it’s ever built, with grading, buildings, and utilities unfolding around you in full context. Immersive Digital Workplaces make that possible, turning project models into shared experiences that improve communication and bring teams into alignment before construction begins. In this fast-paced, high-level session, three voices from civil design, immersive technology, and construction will share insights from the field. Rather than a technical deep dive, this session offers a big-picture look at how immersive Digital Workplaces are bridging disciplines, reducing errors, and clarifying complex data throughout the project lifecycle. When stakeholders can visualize a design in its environment, they are empowered to make faster, more confident decisions. Join us to explore how immersive workflows support better outcomes from concept through construction.

From Design to Digital Twin: Building Indoor GIS with CAD and BIM Data

CAD and BIM have long served as the foundational design and construction documentation —but their utility often ends at project handoff. What if it didn’t? Indoor GIS is a floor-aware system of record for visualizing, analyzing, and managing facilities and collection of buildings. This session will demonstrate how to extend the life of CAD and BIM data into an indoor GIS, and empower CAD, BIM and GIS practitioners to build a Digital Workplace for building operations. Learn about the role of CAD and BIM integrations with GIS to fuel these workflows. See how to import design data into ArcGIS Indoors to map assets and manage spaces, enable real-time navigation with ArcGIS IPS, and equip facilities’ staff with mobile tools for asset inspections and maintenance. Whether new to GIS or looking to modernize facility operations workflows, this session provides you with guidance and examples to convert CAD and BIM data into Digital Workplaces that support asset and space management.

Twinning TISR: A “Hot” Take on Sustainable Environmental Restoration Using Digital Prototypings

Explore deploying a digitalized design and monitoring workflow for a thermal remediation system (TISR®). Using Autodesk Forma, Autodesk Construction Cloud, Revit, and Autodesk Tandem software, the project establishes a seamless lifecycle workflow from early-stage planning and data harmonization to real-time monitoring and maintenance. Forma optimizes solar energy feasibility analysis and site planning, while Autodesk Construction Cloud ensures standardized data exchange across stakeholders. Revit enables detailed 3D parametric modeling. And Tandem integrates telemetry data to monitor system performance. You’ll learn how Digital Prototypings enhance operational performance, reduce the need for on-site visits, lower greenhouse gas emissions, and improve collaboration between stakeholders. Explore the transformative potential of Digital Prototyping platforms for advancing sustainable asset management, conserving resources, and increasing infrastructure resilience in environmental restoration.

Advanced Post-Processor Customization

This class will cover the advanced capabilities within the post-processor system that is part of Fusion 360 software and Autodesk HSM software. We'll have a look at specific examples to illustrate the advanced features available and how we can best utilize them. We'll go through the post API and leave room for technical questions on how to best approach complex problems. And you can, of course, request new features that you've been missing. The designer of the post-processor system, Rene Fonseca, will present the class.

Did You Know? Hidden Command Options in Inventor.

Most users learn the basic processes of commands and stick with them, but fail to realize a lot of Inventor software's commands have hidden or lesser-known options that can and will improve modeling and detailing efficiency. This class will touch on some of these hidden gems you may not have known about—like customized view cropping and adding tapers and twists to extrusions, as well as various hidden and lesser-known options for dimensioning.

Modeling What Matters: An Integrated Approach to BIM for High-Performance Buildings

We are eager to move beyond traditional workflows with limited analysis opportunities to a higher level of BIM (Building Information Modeling) utilization that we believe results in higher-performing buildings. As new tools and plug-ins have come online, we have incorporated them into our studios. Not having a well-defined holistic approach by combining BIM and building-performance analysis, however, has required creating unnecessary remodeling and an under-utilization of data-driven approaches to design. We are not only committed to finding efficiency in our modeling workflow, but as founding signers to the AIA 2030 challenge, we also aim to improve our workflow to deliver high-performing buildings. This class will outline our internal process for creating a new, integrated, high-performance work process. Issues we’ll cover include types of building-performance analysis to integrate and at what phases, identification of performance-analysis software, issues related to its use in our current model management, and development of a new workflow map.

Integrating Embodied Carbon Feedback in Early Stage Design Using Dynamo and Insight 360

How “green” is your green building? This session intends to answer this fundamental question and to reveal the “real” carbon impacts of various design decisions on early stage building design. Annually, embodied carbon is responsible for 11% of global greenhouse gas emissions and 28% of global building sector emissions. Currently, architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) firms mostly focus on reducing operational emissions without much regard for embodied emissions. This talk will focus on the importance of quantifying the impact of material selection at early stage design on EC, and to integrate the results with Insight 360 software. We’ll illustrate the fundamentals of EE and EC, and we’ll demonstrate through case studies how Dynamo workflows and various carbon databases can be used to provide a visual, high-level carbon feedback to the designer. The intention of this talk is to empower the designers to make better carbon-informed decisions without compromising energy performance for their Architecture 2030 projects.

Efficient and Collaborative BIM Workflows for Mechanical Engineers

In this session, we’ll look at ideal workflows for using Revit software, and how to avoid key time-wasting traps, as discovered the hard way by an experienced Revit software-using mechanical engineer. We’ll examine opportunities for fundamental changes to overall workflow, as well as how to improve current methods. Emerging features such as Insight 360 software are shown as a great opportunity for engineers and architects to collaborate during initial design stages and to calculate heating and cooling loads. You’ll receive advice about how to control level of detail and coordination, particularly at early design stages. We’ll also give some specific technical tips and tricks to help engineers get the most out of their Revit software systems and spaces. This is a follow-up to the 2013 class on improving efficiency by using Revit MEP software for mechanical calculations. This session features Revit MEP. AIA Approved
