During this class, ATFF will talk about its workflow and expertise in laser scanning and modeling process using ReCap software. The main case study that we will present is the survey of the Oullins power station. The customer’s goal was renovation of the site.

As the move towards adopting BIM for construction projects continues to accelerate it is clear that rapid assessment of site conditions and the dissemination of that data to all members of the project team is an exciting development for productive collaborative working. Scanning is a proven method for rapid and accurate digital documentation of current site conditions. The achievable speed of capturing reality means that it is possible to update in 3D daily and at numerous levels of scale. However, with all the options available, which is the right one to use? You will examine some of the many workflow options that allow multiple hardware and software solutions to come together, creating a continuous flow of information and data from field to office. This class will help address the ROI of purchasing your own scanner and turn a previously �nice to have' project deliverable to an essential part of your day to day workflows.

The new capabilities of additive manufacturing (AM) have given many industries the capacity to print complex designs in many different materials. The benefits include customized products; improved performance with weight reduction; and the reduction of materials, manufacturing time, and assembly cost. This session will give you an overview on how Within software and Netfabb software can help you achieve these benefits. We’ll look at how to capitalize on Within software to create optimized component design using lattice-based optimization while following machine constraints. The goal is to preserve structural performance while lightweighting a part without violating design or AM constraints. We will also look at how Netfabb software provides quality control on the final part, providing support generation and slicing data for the AM machine targeted. This session features Netfabb and Within.

If you’ve been using cloud rendering in Revit software, then many of these steps in 3ds Max software should be familiar to you. This might be a great opportunity to familiarize yourself with the 3ds Max software environment. For the purely 3ds Max users, we will cover the benefits and limitations of Autodesk 360 cloud-computing platform so you have a better understanding of the cloud and how you can capitalize on its power in your workflow.

During this class the participants will learn about the Building Information Modeling (BIM) processes designed and implemented by Egis Group for highways and road design. The class will focus on the standardization of design and collaboration in infrastructure projects using AutoCAD Civil 3D software. Through relevant projects examples (highways, airports), the participants will discover how to deploy a collaborative standardization on the AutoCAD Civil 3D software platform. The participants will also learn how to manage standardization for multidisciplinary applications such as roads, bridges, airports, and so on. In addition they will learn how to manage AutoCAD Civil 3D software to integrate different requirements such as a company’s own production rules, local or international design standards, and customer requirements—such as personalized outputs. This session features AutoCAD Civil 3D.

This class will discuss how reality capture BIM (Building Information Modeling) was utilized at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) by multiple architects, engineers, construction managers, construction engineers, and building owners. The class will discuss how the owners and AEC teams worked together to effectively utilize BIM and reality capture data. We’ll explore what various workflows yielded the most success within Revit software, Civil 3D software, ReCap software, and BIM 360 software.

DPR Construction has been using reality capture technology to help build an atypical and complicated office building in downtown Pasadena, California. In this class, the audiences will learn how DPR implements data from UAV and laser scanning, not only for typical deliverables, such as floor flatness/levelness analysis, but also for unique applications, such as shoring-wall deviation analysis, design-change feasibility study, and location of cores and drills for constructability review. With post-tension cables, hundreds of miles of conduits inside the concrete decks, and a fast-paced schedule, the project presents numerous challenges to overcome. However, by utilizing reality capture data in ReCap Pro software and AutoCAD software, the virtual design and construction (VDC) team has brought great value to the design and construction team, had positive impacts on overall project performance, and provided a big return on investment to the owner. The class will cover these use cases and lessons, and highlight tips and tricks for working with reality capture data.

Learn how to take existing project information and capitalize on Autodesk, Inc., platforms; ReCap 360 Pro software; Remake software; Revit software; and Maya software—all to create and aggregate models and present information in an immersive virtual-reality setting to derive value for the overall project. The case study we’ll look at is a historically significant, high-visibility project that needed various reality-capture methods to mitigate possible risk and liability during construction. The team was able to use these requirements to drive drone flights, photogrammetric models, and laser scans. These were used to enrich the design models and create an environment to run scenarios for logistics and feasibility studies. The downstream effect will help the owner better understand the complexity and manage understanding of changes as they occur. The created environment will also aid in developing future projects that have similar challenges. This session features ReCap, Maya, and Revit. AIA Approved

The rapid growth in technological development has led to a scenario where the execution of field layout activities are being considerably improved upon.

If you're interested in the future of product design and analysis, this is the place for you. Ravens fans need not apply.

Learn how we used laser scanning and Building Design Suite to coordinate the installation of a new chiller and air handling unit in the basement of one of Florida's premier performance venues. We demonstrate how we used ReCap™, Revit®-based software, Navisworks® software, and Apple® iPads® tablets to create a 4D clash detection model to preplan the movement of a 8.5-ton chiller into the existing mechanical room. Because performances scheduled throughout the construction limited downtime, having an efficient process was critical. The virtual design and construction (VDC) team learned the most efficient ways to transfer point cloud files using the ReCap RCS format, perform clash detection in the point cloud in Navisworks, create models, and distribute the information to the team for use in the field. This lean process helped all team members visualize and plan their work, and it provided the owner with a useful as-built model for future work.

This class is for users who would like to learn how to use lines, polylines, dynamic labels, and tables to reduce errors on plans.
