Autodesk’s cloud-based collaboration services—BIM Collaborate and BIM Collaborate Pro (formerly BIM 360 Design software)—are empowering teams to work within an integrated document management and review solution, providing permission-enriched workflows, and enabling teams to execute projects with unprecedented access and control for team integration. This class will highlight the evolving possibilities of these Autodesk services, all of which can be managed through a web interface and mobile applications. Looking at the functionality of each service module, we will walk through common project workflows and discuss the best approach for migrating your next project to the cloud. We are one of the leading consumers of Autodesk’s Construction Cloud services, with more than 3,000 active projects. We will discuss our success and the challenges we encountered along the way.

Are you interested in using BIM Collaborate Pro (formerly BIM 360 Design software) for multidisciplinary projects? This class is for you! Following a quick product overview, we'll dive into a live project for a whirlwind tour. We’ll start in the authoring tools—working with files from Revit software, Civil 3D software, and AutoCAD Plant 3D software—and show you how to share those files to the cloud. Next, we'll jump into design collaboration, where each design team will create and share its work packages. We'll then move over to model coordination and review any 3D clashes that have popped up. From there, we’ll visit BIM 360 Docs software and see how all project stakeholders have roles to play in model viewing, sharing, markups, issues, and more. Finally, we'll wrap up our journey in Insight building performance analysis software, where we’ll track the health of our project at a glance. This fast-paced course will help you in your decision about whether to adopt BIM Collaborate Pro within your own firm.

In the summer of 2020, as the world struggled through the COVID-19 pandemic, Yamuna International Airport Private Limited (YIAPL) selected an international team to design Noida International Airport (NIA) in Delhi. The Delhi National Capital Region aims to serve 200 million passengers by the year 2060. The architectural team consists of Nordic, Grimshaw, Haptic, and STUP, and represents offices across the globe—Norway, India, the United Kingdom, and the United States. It became clear that the only way to work together, even without a pandemic, would be to the most-advanced cloud services—BIM 360 software. Maximizing a combination of BIM 360 Docs, BIM 360 Design, and BIM 360 Collaboration software, the team has designed the most-optimal workflows to suit the project. As the team members proceed with the four-phased architectural design from their home offices, this demo aims to present the routines we used, the collaboration processes we introduced and discovered, and the ways we brought together an international team to create sustainable world-class architecture.

Building information modeling (BIM) processes with federated 3D models and centralized common data environments (CDEs) are well-accepted norms in project delivery. Yet, the benefits derived from this digitalization favor the engineering companies over the manufacturing owner. Moreover, the owner's transformation focus is mostly on digitizing highly regulated drug releases and manufacturing performance. Converging these two digital approaches is not often seen as a priority. Yet, it may be a foundational step toward a successful digital transformation for businesses and their people. We’ll make the case for data convergence between digital assets (descriptive digital twins) and manufacturing data and analytics to solve business problems, like accessing the right information and documentation without time loss. We’ll share how the human-centered approach made visible the foundational benefit of BIM by linking objects to information using BIM 360 (collaborate) and data fusion technologies, and which KPIs can demonstrate value.

Join experts on Autodesk Docs software, Autodesk BIM Collaborate software, and Autodesk Takeoff software to hear about recent improvements made to the products, as well as what the teams are eyeing on the horizon.

We all have to start somewhere, and getting started is often the most difficult endeavor of all. In this class, we'll begin at the beginning, and look at how anyone can get started with Autodesk Construction Cloud. Come and see how the platform is more than just a construction tool for organizing and sharing project data. We'll look at Autodesk Docs software and see how it may be used as a common data environment (CDE) that follows ISO 19650 procedures and respects the information management method defined in the standards. With Autodesk BIM Collaborate and Autodesk BIM Collaborate Pro, we can work collaboratively with Autodesk Construction Cloud. Also, we’ll take a look at Autodesk Build software's toolset for the management of all of our project information, as well as Autodesk Takeoff software's real-time estimation view.

Infrastructure Ontario and Metrolinx are working on delivering the Ontario Line—a new CA$10.9 billion, 16 km subway line with 15 stations running through the heart of Toronto, Canada. HDR is driving the development, design, and digital delivery of the project using Civil 3D software, Revit software, InfraWorks software, and BIM 360 software, combined with ArcGIS technology to effectively organize CAD, geographic information system (GIS), and building information modeling (BIM) data across an international project team. Using the BIM 360 Cloud Connector within ArcGIS, project information is connected from the BIM 360 design hub directly into a GIS, allowing single-source-of-truth sharing of information through multiple windows for extended-use cases of information sharing through a custom-built, purpose-driven GIS hub. The Ontario Line Planning Portal provides 500+ staff easy access to data and information via a suite of discipline-specific web applications for reviewing the latest 2D alignment, properties, utilities, survey, environmental impacts, and 3D station design.

This class will introduce a wide range of Autodesk cloud-based tools, from quick exchanges with the shared views feature for 3D models and 2D documentation to BIM Collaborate Pro (formerly BIM 360 Design software) for multiteam collaboration. Learn about how connecting workflows, teams, and data can reduce risk, minimize rework, and maximize efficiency when designing and detailing a steel structure.

The Athena Project is a 470k€ project involving INWIT, the main Italian Tower Operator providing BTS (Base Transceiver Station) network for all the major Italian TELCOs. Of the 470k€, 150k€ were allocated for services, 150k€ for BIM360 Build (3Y), 50k€ for BIM360 Design (3Y) and 20k€ for Forge cloud credits. The fundamental aspect of the project was the necessity of an integrated centralized single source of truth, for the management of about 22.000 BTS (Base Transceiver Station), enabling the possibility of extracting all the models’ data geo located on a map, whenever needed, to ease maintenance operations and planning. 2M€ savings in 3y are foreseen through the implementation of a leading-edge data-management system, unlocking the power of data to enable more efficient asset maintenance planning, thanks to the availability of a BIM-GIS data lake, operating as a Common Data Environment.

In this class, we’ll explore the new Export Revit Project (RVT file) functionality in Inventor 2022 software. We'll explore why BIM (Building Information Modeling) is important to building product manufacturers, custom fabricators, and industrial facility owners, and level set on Inventor software's existing BIM interoperability tools. We'll then work our way through a five-part workflow example that includes 1) importing Revit data with AnyCAD for Inventor for Revit projects (RVT file); 2) simplifying the manufacturing design model in Inventor, “bottom up” (with simplify) and “top down” using Model States (also new in Inventor 2022); 3) exporting the Inventor model as a Revit project (RVT file); 4) linking the Inventor model into Revit for review and collaboration; and 5) updating the Inventor model, and updating the export to see the design update in Revit. We'll provide data set and written and video recorded instructions, and there’ll be a live session of questions and answers.
