Whether you're delivering a Descriptive Twin or planning for predictive analytics, this session will help you stay ahead of where Digital Workplaces are headed.

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.

This panel brings together industry leaders who are actively climbing that mountain. Through candid conversation, they’ll share real-world struggles, setbacks, and the steps they’re taking to reach higher ground. Expect honest insights, bold ideas, and practical strategies to break down barriers, improve communication, and build stronger, more connected teams. If you’re navigating the uphill journey of , this session is your chance to pause, gain perspective, and gather the tools needed to keep moving forward together.

This course will show designers, architects, and engineers how to make better and more-appealing animations for visualization, architecture, and design. Taught by an animation-industry veteran, this fast-moving presentation will take the basic principles of animation and use them to demonstrate ways to make your animations more visually appealing and easier to understand. The course will cover such topics as the importance of design and layout and the importance of storytelling, and we’ll discuss maintaining proper timing and adding weight. We will also cover technical topics such as animation curves, motion paths, and procedural animation, but in a non-software-specific way to make the topics and processes accessible to all. This session features 3ds Max and Maya. AIA Approved

This class will discuss the various techniques for automating 3ds Max software. We’ll first cover techniques to build automated routines to drive complex tasks within 3ds Max. 3ds Max includes a local tool called 3dsmaxbatch that enables local automation of complex tasks. This functionality is also available in the cloud under the Forge Design Automation API. We’ll discuss MAXScript, Python, C++, and .NET approaches to automation, and how to connect your routines to the web to drive configurable automation.

Today, there’s a boom in content as audiences consume media and entertainment in new ways at home, on mobile, and in AR and VR. Creators and producers are working to deliver more of what people want but are struggling because traditional production processes can’t scale. Production needs to become more collaborative, innovative, and open. Join Autodesk leaders and customers to learn how our latest technology helps coordinate and customize processes and forge scalable connections between teams, studios, and ecosystems. By moving production to the cloud, we empower innovators to craft more meaningful stories and bolder visions.

This class will discuss and present the smart way to use Revit software and Dynamo software for underground utilities design. This design process, especially for oil and gas plants, is in a constant state of change; hence, it is necessary to find a way to save hours of tedious work. We can achieve this goal by developing "smart" families able to move and adapt according to calculation, simultaneously respecting design and clients' standards. We can synchronize the families' data with the hydraulic calculation by using Dynamo to connect the calculation report to the model with a simple "run." In this way, the pipes routing gets updated, and with this, all quantities and drawings, reducing considerably the time related to these activities.

Doors are some of the toughest families to create effectively on the Revit software platform. With all of the moving parts, data requirements, and end-user demands, building out a comprehensive door library is always a challenge, even for the best Revit family modelers. In this class we take a thorough step-by-step approach to building a series of door components and combining them into assemblies for use in design, documentation, and construction administration. By focusing on these 3 use cases, we explore how to capitalize on all of the tools in the Family Editor to create doors that are easy for the end user to use, look terrific in rendering and animations, and document themselves efficiently in tags, schedules, and reports.

During 2020, we've learned to make beyond the construction site, the factory floor, and the production studio. Whether orchestrating our teams digitally, creating virtually, or customizing our products to address shifting demand, technology is increasingly central to our work. Join Autodesk President and CEO Andrew Anagnost to learn about the role data, automation, and insight play in empowering innovators to adapt to change and achieve the new possible. 

This session will cover a case study on how the move to Revit software helps you win more business. During this presentation, we'll look at how Scott Hughes Design in the United Kingdom implemented Revit for structural detailing. A key driver in the successful implementation was the switch from 2D reinforcement detailing to supplying a fully compliant Building Information Modeling (BIM) model as part of client deliverables. With an overview of successful key milestones and strategies utilized, we'll identity the key workflows adopted that helped Scott Hughes retain and win business again and again.

Lean has been around a long time in manufacturing. In recent years, it's gained a lot of traction in construction. However, the methodologies and tools used by lean practitioners are relevant in almost any field. In this session, we'll discuss lean, and how the various concepts and tools can apply to technology. Using lean tools will help you provide a more powerful and stable technology and computing environment for your users. Note: While explained in this class, this is not a session on the more widely known concepts of Scrum and Agile in technology. Rather, we will discuss other lean methodologies not often linked to technology. AIA Approved

Whether you're an architect, engineer, or contractor, join us to learn how Autodesk and leaders across AEC are using today’s tools to design and build better, smarter, and with more project insight.

Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WDOT) began using AutoCAD Civil 3D software with the 2010 release. Since that time, more of the department's internal users have switched over and WDOT has switched platforms to 2012 and, more recently, to 2014. As WDOT's use and user base have grown, the department has learned many lessons that have effected how it has moved forward. We will explore these lessons, specifically those that come from the development of standard concepts for use of AutoCAD Civil 3D software and the ways in which those concepts are put into practice in project workflows.

Start your Autodesk University week off right! For the first time ever at Autodesk University, we’ll have our own construction mainstage (well, a baby one). And the all-star lineup just keeps getting better. Hosted by Stacy Scopano, this 90-minute session will offer a fresh look at the issues dominating construction, and the future trends that will transform the industry, including Building Information Modeling (BIM), lean construction, collaboration, mobility, and more. Additionally, hear directly from your peers as they highlight the ways they have made their Autodesk Solutions work best for them. Finally, start the week pointed in the right direction with a quick overview of key construction-related events, classes, and ad-hoc sessions to help you get the most out of this year’s AU. Speakers include: Jim Lynch, Vice President of the AEC product group; Ryan Colker, Presidential Advisor at the National Institute of Building Sciences; Andrew Pryke, Managing Director of BAM Design; Brian Mullins, CEO, DAQRI; Joe Barr, CEO, Hansen Yuncken; and Nicolas Fonta, Product Manager, Design Animation Solutions Group.

AECOM’s Dale Sinclair will join a variety of speakers from Autodesk’s industry strategy and product teams to explore what the opportunity of better means for the AEC and Manufacturing industries, and what we have to gain as these industries converge.

Learn how to take your design from within Fusion 360 software and apply 2D and 3D toolpaths. This class will open up the door and let you create G-code for your computer numerical control (CNC) machines. Simply start at the beginning, create toolpaths, simulate and verify, post G-code, and see how easy it is to handle design changes.

AnyCAD lets you associatively update designs from any CAD tool, letting you connect design across disciplines and teams. This class will cover how AnyCAD can automatically update toolpaths, increasing the productivity in your company or shop. Even in-house design teams can often span multiple products and use many design formats. Instead of creating 2D drawings and putting your CAM programmers back at square one, or forcing them to use a CAD-specific CAM product, use AnyCAD to connect your CAD—including SOLIDWORKS, Siemens NX, PTC Creo, IGES, and STEP—to your favorite CAM tool. If you get various parts from contractors or customers, and you don’t want to purchase a costly license of their design software when small changes are needed during the manufacturing process, AnyCAD can bring the designs into Inventor software or Fusion 360 software, while maintaining associativity to the original design. This class will show you how to unlock the connectivity and flexibility of AnyCAD and apply it to your manufacturing process.

Make manual site coordination a thing of the past. In this class, you’ll learn how to transfer information between Revit software and Civil 3D software consistently and accurately. Using the Shared Reference Point tool, we’ll walk through the setup so that your Revit model comes in accurately into Civil 3D. If you’re looking to send information the other way, BIM 360 software and the Desktop Connector are your friends. By the end of this class, you’ll understand why these tools work the way they do, and know how to send information back and forth between Revit and Civil 3D.
