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.

One of the biggest challenges in is getting disciplines to work together, sharing data and information in real time. Whether technical, organizational, or cultural, silos slow progress, create inefficiencies, and keep teams from reaching their full potential. 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.

Presented by Fusion 360 Quality Assurance, this class will focus on the challenges presented by larger models, such as performance, clutter, and informational or screen overload. Discover Fusion 360 software tools to help you stay organized. Learn how to prevent performance problems as we explore solutions in the user interface, your workflows, hardware configurations, and data management. Starting with the newly distributed design workflows, we'll also demonstrate commands and tools to increase productivity and extend the power of your assemblies and designs in Fusion 360 software.

Photogrammetry is a quick and easy way to produce visually stunning and relatively accurate 3D models of existing conditions. Many photogrammetry classes focus on models of small objects. This class will explain the basics of photogrammetry and some tips you can use to get the best results out of your photos, especially when trying to create large background models that encompass multiple buildings, streets, trees, and so on. We’ll discuss sources of imagery and their pros and cons. We’ll review image quality, lighting, camera angles, quantity, and other similar topics in order to capture all the little details. We’ll discuss the process of bringing these source images into ReCap Photo software, as well as processing, scaling, decimation, and so on. Finally we’ll discuss how to bring photogrammetry models into other programs such as Revit software, ReCap software, Civil 3D software, and InfraWorks software.

Inventor software is a high-end, mission-critical application that businesses depend on to generate designs and bills of materials, and produce drawings that keep the doors open and the lights on. Reliability, efficiency, and productivity are key, yet most engineers and IT support staff are uninformed and oblivious to the needs of the tool, resulting in the purchase of hardware unfit for the task. Simply throwing money at the most expensive options on that workstation configurator won't translate into more performance in 3D CAD; in fact, it can have quite the exact opposite effect. So in this class, we'll clarify exactly what Inventor needs from a workstation, and how to purchase right and smart using real-world, large-assembly manufacturing data sets for benchmark testing. We'll also clarify a few hardware myths and confusions along the way, helping you to understand exactly what to buy to power your business as efficiently as possible.

With almost a million downloads worldwide, the Autodesk BIM interoperability tools—which include the Model Checker for Revit software—have become the industry standard in reviewing Revit models. This tool is now available for your BIM 360 models! Built on Forge, the Model Checker on Forge tool can review all your models and generate reports on their compliance with the checks you define. Whether pass/fail, counts, or lists, you can view the check reports individually and easily put them into a Microsoft Power BI dashboard. Model Checker lets you select multiple models and define schedules, and, of course, it runs automatically in the Autodesk cloud. This session will be a thorough study of this amazing new tool, including how to use it and tips and tricks.

The architecture, engineering, and construction industry is undergoing an evolution, and industry and mainstream media are looking to fill their pages with rich content—stories about innovative people, projects, and products. You see many of your competitors earning meaningful coverage for their successes, but what about you? This inaugural media-training class will help customers and partners tell their stories and understand the competitive media landscape.

In this class, we will talk about everything you need to know to get started with Simulation in Fusion 360 software. We will look at how to take advantage of simulation in the context of your Fusion 360 design, the benefits of simulation being tied to the cloud for both solving and collaboration, the problems types that can be solved, and the basic steps to get up and running with your first simulation.

In this session, we’ll go through the BIM 360 APIs that have been recently added and are in-pipeline for near future releases. By Autodesk University Las Vegas time frame, we hope to cover the new Model Coordination API and Cost API, a newer version of Admin API, various enhancements to Field Management API, and more. This class assumes your familiarity with BIM 360 products and basic web programming knowledge, such as HTML and REST API. Hands-on experience with Forge APIs will be a plus, but is not necessary for decision makers.

For a facility manager and building owner, the information embedded in a Revit software / Building Information Modeling (BIM) model represents the most tangible connection to the collective knowledge gained by the Design Team, the constructor, and past operators of a facility. However, the technology, change, and confusion surrounding BIM in the facility management (FM) industry is making it very difficult for a facility manager to navigate. The panel—led by facilities and FM technology experts from IFMA's Information Technology Council—will lead the audience through the BIM value proposition for owners and provide tools for assessing if BIM is the correct tool for their specific operations. This will include a discussion about why BIM, at this point in time, may not be the correct solution. Separately, for those who are ready for BIM, we will discuss how to adequately specify the needs of an organization related to BIM. For some, this may include developing a roadmap toward BIM aspirations.

This session will be a look at the inner workings of Fusion 360 software from 2 of the people who helped build it. Jeff Strater (developer, architect), and Phil Eichmiller (quality engineer, tester) will demonstrate and discuss the core principles and technology at the core of Fusion 360 software’s modeling, sketch, and assembly compute engines. Focusing on performance and stability, this is a class for CAD aficionados interested in a deep understanding of the inner workings of Fusion 360 and how those are best used in modeling and assembly workflows. We'll show you how Fusion 360 is best used for productivity, and for top-down, bottom-up, and streamlined product design workflows.

Last year we demonstrated how InfraWorks software is an indispensable tool for contractors who want to produce meaningful site logistics. This year, we’ll take it a step further and dig into how to get better alignment of objects using Civil 3D software, as well as how InfraWorks works with BIM 360 Docs software. We’ll dig deeper into using coverage areas for holes, discuss using scans to adjust terrains, explore using models in virtual reality (VR), and review the best parts of last year’s presentation. We’ll use InfraWorks 360 software’s model builder to create the site background, ReCap Photo software to import a 3D model created from site photos, and Bluebeam to create annotated terrain overlays, and we’ll look at how to import 3D models from several sources such as SketchUp and Revit software to create libraries. We’ll use the proposals tab to model different phases of construction, enabling phased site logistics. Finally, we’ll show how to export professional graphics using the storyboard.

Are you starting with a blank screen? Or do you have a library of components? This is the top-down versus the bottom-up design question. Most designs use both. Your workflow should start with a strategy to get the most out of these styles of design. This class will dive into these different workflows in detail, using Fusion 360 software. Explore top-down design, including the body or component—what's the difference and why you should start with either; workflows to create in place components—starting off on the right foot; and when and how to reuse the designs you’re making. Learn about techniques for bottom-up design, including upload—what’s the best way to get large or small designs from anywhere into Fusion 360 software; file management via Fusion 360—keeping track of it all; design preparation—how to better prepare designs for insert and use; and distributed design workflows—inserting and using the parts you already have.

Come to this class to learn how to create a simple sheet metal hopper using iLogic and adaptivity in Inventor software.

AutoCAD content is designed to be reused in the current drawing or other drawings. The most difficult task concerning reusing content is managing and organizing that content. AutoCAD software comes with a couple of tools that assist in reusing content from the local driver or a network location: DesignCenter and Tool Palettes. In this session, we will look at the functionality of DesignCenter and Tool Palettes and how these tools help organize and reuse drawings, hatches, and other reusable content.

Is your company “old school” and resistant to change? We feel your pain. We live your nightmare. Impacting culture change is difficult, stressful, and at times hopeless, and if it’s not addressed, it can cause a dire situation. This class will dive into the processes, technology, and teamwork that went into taking a company that was resistant to change, to a company that embraces technology implementation and utilization. This is a story of a construction company stuck in its ways, and it tells how the implementation of BIM 360 Docs software, BIM 360 Glue software, and BIM 360 Build software changed the way we build projects, exchange information, collaborate, and establish more-efficient processes.

Are you responsible for training your CAD users but feel overwhelmed by the task? Are you stymied by the problems associated with enforcing CAD standards? Does your management expect you to make your users more productive? In this class, we cover some strategies for combining standards development and enforcement with an in-house training program to solve all 3 problems at once while keeping your budget under control. We start by building your company training program via efficiency analysis, move into creating effective training materials, and then we give you some ideas for becoming a better instructor. Next, we talk about turning your training program into your standards program by using your own written and video files to build a virtual resource library. If you're responsible for creating a standards or training program, you can't afford to miss this class.
