The landscape of automotive design is rapidly evolving, driven by the transition to electric architectures and the emergence of agile new competitors. This evolution places immense pressure on design studios to streamline their development processes. At Autodesk, our AI teams are dedicated to assisting these studios in unleashing their creative potential and achieving unprecedented levels of productivity. At this year's Automotive Innovation Forum, we gave a tech preview of Form Explorer, the first AI capability delivered within Alias software. With Form Explorer, automotive concept designers can effortlessly generate and refine 3D concepts within seconds, seamlessly transforming them into functional SubD surfaces. This creates the potential to expedite the creation of proportional exterior designs. This groundbreaking tool harnesses a fusion of AI capabilities exclusive to Autodesk, paving the way for a suite of innovative design interactions within Autodesk's arsenal of tools.

It all began with a simple Dynamo script displaying a popup window to users with some useful information about the document. As the script development advanced, we transitioned to a Revit macro. The tool grew and even more features were added to assist users in managing their model's quality. Eventually, our team reached a point where the macro wasn't practical enough. That's when we created an installable C# add-in, turning the former model health check into a comprehensive wizard with an Autosolve function. Now, many common errors are automatically resolved when Revit starts or syncs, leaving only more complex issues for users to review. Dedicated windows within the tool have been designed to help users evaluate logical errors, such as area analysis. The wizards toolkit is complemented by a robust automatic classification function. This course guides you through our development journey, unveiling the wizard button's magical potential and the insights gained along the way.

The goal of this presentation is to help Revit users who are looking to use code to improve their workflows. Revit API might sound impossible to learn, but it's not that complicated if you follow the right road map. The speaker has created hundreds of Revit add-ins, made about 100 video tutorials on Revit API, and taught hundreds if not thousands of people how to do the same. And this presentation will show you where you should start and which basics you should focus on. This will be a great brief introduction to Revit API basics, and will demonstrate how to apply it to create a custom Revit add-in.

For developers and service providers in a wide range of fields other than construction—such as mobility, robotics, mapping, security, and maintenance—the value of reliable, high-quality spatial information on buildings and infrastructure is expected to increase in the future. In Toyota Woven City—which is currently under construction as an experimental city where various technologies can be tried for the well-being of people—we've been exploring the ideal form of spatial information, including building information modeling (BIM) data, while closely observing the needs of a wide variety of users. Based on the knowledge we've gained there, we've been developing spatial information of building structures for various users outside the construction industry from the client's standpoint, as well as developing databases and APIs to provide this information in an open-data format. We hope that sharing our experiences will help accelerate the development of spatial information as the future social data infrastructure.
