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.

How to Easily Data Mine Revit, Forma Design Collaboration, and Autodesk Forma for Your Benefits
As we work through projects, there’s a constant generation of information. Unfortunately, we almost never get to see it, much less capture and analyze it, thereby missing many opportunities to inform future projects or help with current ones. Buro Happold is a global engineering firm that's decided to tackle this problem at an enterprise level by finding ways to automatically collect, share, and analyze this constant stream of project information. We've taken a multifaceted approach to mining project data for insights by using a mixture of internally developed tools, Revit software, Forma Design Collaboration, Autodesk Forma, and external tools like Microsoft Power BI and Kinship. This class will cover the methods and strategies that we’re using to mine all the data generated daily by each project. We'll look at how the firm is using the internal BIM Radar tool with mixture of external tools. We'll also discuss how to integrate new tools into project teams, and how to approach enterprise-level adoption and analysis.

The Superb Guide to Easy Revit

Can you maximize the capabilities of Revit software (versions forevermore, especially 2022) as much as you’d like to? Join this conversation (spiced with true war stories) about some of our favorite workflows, shortcuts, tips and tricks, plug-ins, and resources—it’ll help you gain methods to enhance your deliverables and dial up your productivity. One of the challenges of Revit (both 2022 and much older versions) is the number of ways there are to accomplish an objective. We’ll talk about tricks for resolving curve balls in model, view, family, and annotation management and creation. Other conversation topics will include keystroke tricks, out-of-the-box and custom keyboard shortcuts, and simple macros (including Revit Macro IDE). We’ll also segue to cover tools to help you get the best performance in both file-based and cloud-shared projects in Revit; interoperability between Revit and AutoCAD and ReCap software; and system configuration tweaks to optimize Revit performance, even in the latest version.

Road Trippin': Barton Malow Builders' Forma Training Roadshow
When implementing new technology, an assured way to miss buy-in across your organization is to sign team members up and say, "Good luck!” Training is the obvious answer to this problem. However, designing, implementing, and executing a training program is a heavy lift, and justifying the commitment is paramount. To do so, it's vital to measure success through data: Locations and geos trained, project value in geographic area, and, of course, the number of individuals trained. The value of training doesn't end there. Our program instills our companywide vision of doing business. It deepens relationships with Autodesk, creating a partnership that tackles our big issues together. These relationships directly guide feature developments at Autodesk. At this session, learn from Ryan Riley, virtual design and construction (VDC) manager at Barton Malow Builders (BMB), on how he developed the ACC Roadshow Training Program at BMB across 16 offices, and 10 states, while tackling extremely local, specific problems.

Configure - Plan - Fabricate -Build | Sustainable Fabrication Workflows for Timber Buildings
Sustainability and cost efficiency for residential building is more important than ever. We will present with our customer Haas an integrated workflow from the configurator, an automated detailed design process in Revit to fabrication and the construction site. This digital process allows prospects to visually configure and calculate any residential or family timber house. These visualization of the customer's request via the house configurator leads to a faster and high-quality discussion with the customer. Seamless transition from configuration to design in Autodesk Revit ensures that no extra detail design work must be carried out manually. That model is transferred into the fabrication process and finally all data is leveraged via BIM360/ACC BUILD on construction sites for project and quality management and daily logs.

Breaking Through the Cloud – A 30,000 ft View of Forma and Design Software Workflows
AutoCAD (& verticals) Plant 3D, and Revit all have different workflows with ACC/BIM 360 projects and the Desktop Connector. After many challenging hours I believe I have finally found a way to explain the various ACC/BIM 360 workflows and would like to share this knowledge with everyone else who's also dealing with all these various workflows and collaboration options. Specifically, I'm going to cover working with Revit, Plant 3D, and Civil 3D (same workflows for AutoCAD) with ACC and/or BIM 360 projects. I'll also cover the Desktop Connector 15 and 16 and the differences we've encountered, good and bad.
