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.

Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) workflows require everything placed or drawn to have magical Xdata attached which contains pay item number(s) and compute methods (formulas). This session will demonstrate the applications within our FDOT Civil 3D 2026 State Kit that facilitate how to seamlessly design and run automated summary reports to obtain an accurate accounting of our State infrastructure projects. The applications we will demonstrate will include Entity Manager, FDOT Signs, Pavement Marking tool, Place Block Group, and FDOT Takeoff Manager.

The global movement of decarbonization in buildings is growing. Yet the industry is characterized by a multitude of standards and diverse BIM and carbon accounting processes used for assessing embodied carbon. Under the guidance of the World Business Council for Sustainable Development, Autodesk and six leading architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) companies—AECOM, Arcadis, Arup, Foster + Partners, Ramboll, and SOM—collaborated to demonstrate these discrepancies on a case study that revealed a 34% variation in the firms' approaches to embodied carbon assessment using the same Revit model. Join our panel discussion to unpack the reasons behind this disparity, explore the complexities of translating BIM data into carbon insights, and propose guidelines to consider when undertaking an embodied carbon assessment. This technical discourse will identify opportunities for alignment and transparency within the industry, promoting actionable carbon assessments driven by BIM to support decarbonization efforts.

Expertise will be shared from our contributors: Andrea Colombo (Foster + Partners), Dana Far (Foster + Partners), Eric Stimmel (SOM), Javier Sanchez Hernandez (AECOM), Jordan Woodson (Arup), Laura Gomez Hernandez (AECOM), Leandro Reati (Foster + Partners), Margarida Goncalves (Arcadis), Monica Lucas (Ramboll), Retha Swanepoel (Foster + Partners), Rob Cairns (Ramboll), and Sandra Petkute (Arcadis)

This session will delve into the exciting integration of InfoDrainage software with Civil 3D, a development with the potential to revolutionize drainage design in civil engineering. With its advanced features and capabilities for both traditional and green infrastructure, InfoDrainage aligns perfectly with the versatile functionalities of Civil 3D, paving the way for more-streamlined, efficient, and environmentally sustainable design workflows. We will explore the unique features of InfoDrainage, how they can be integrated with Civil 3D, and the benefits of this integration in improving the accuracy and speed of drainage designs. We'll provide practical insights into the integration process, giving you a clear understanding of how to use these tools effectively in your projects.

Using a provided PC, you’ll learn to build a configurable work-holding setup—straight from Rivian’s playbook for prototyping and production. Discover how to minimize manual setup, reduce errors, and free up time for what matters: programming and perfecting your parts. Leave with practical skills to streamline your workflows and impress your team.

Facility Management operational requirements for data are higher than ever with energy efficiency targets and new maintenance focused industry standards. To solve these fundamental challenges, Eaton is deploying Digital Energy Twins for simplified, contextualized building system integrations. In this case study, learn how Eaton started by implementing a Digital Prototyping of its own facility (Houston Power Experience Center) to improve insights and operational outcomes. What’s next: Eaton will share how Tandem and Bright layer are partnering to deliver additional value in Preventative Maintenance & Energy Management.

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.

Investing in preconstruction is one of the most impactful ways to de-risk and set your project up for long-term success. Join this dynamic session with the Autodesk Preconstruction Product team to explore what’s new and what’s coming next for BuildingConnected Pro, Bid Board Pro, TradeTapp, Autodesk Takeoff, and ProEst software. You’ll get an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at our product strategy, major initiatives on the horizon, and the customer feedback that’s shaping our future. Bring your voice to the table and help influence the evolution of our preconstruction offerings. Whether you're a power user or just getting started, you won’t want to miss this session!

This interactive lab will be an accelerator that will teach BIM coordinators and CAD managers how to effectively use Autodesk Construction Cloud to manage civil infrastructure projects with modern cloud-based tools. We’ll take an immersive approach to learning: The class will be split up into disciplines, simulating a real project. The disciplines will work together to federate a project model using preprepared files. We’ll start with the basics of recommended file organization in Autodesk Docs, set up our coordination space in Modeling, walk through best practices for exporting and coordinating discipline-specific models, run a mock clash-detection meeting, create/organize and report on our Autodesk Construction Cloud Issues, and then archive our project simulating a milestone submittal. Many of the default coordination tools in Autodesk Construction Cloud are built with vertical construction in mind. But there’s a world of value for horizontal construction as well—you just have to know how to unlock it!
