We will demonstrate the following: loading Revit models via BIM 360 and the Design Automation API into Arkio; performing live collaborative design inside Arkio on top of existing Revit models using mobile VR headsets, tablets, and phones; loading and working with additional data such as program area requirements; and exporting new design ideas as native Revit masses/families via the Revit Design Automation API.

This class is designed for project management (PM) team in terms of managing the project during the design as well as construction phase, which is enhanced by BIM 360 software. Along with the intelligent models that are being developed widely in the construction industry today, design collaboration and coordination is one of the challenges for the PM team, especially projects with many designers in different locations. Managing several kinds of documents in the construction phase—such as RFI, submittals, inspections, reports, and so on—is also challenging the PM team without standardization and response-in-time procedure. However, all those challenges can be minimized. With BIM 360 and project case studies, this class will provide the method to set up BIM 360 as a common data environment for design collaboration and coordination using a couple of BIM 360 features and a customized workflow. Moreover, a digital procedure in this class with BIM 360 Build software will help a PM team in the standardizing and digitizing of site workflow on RFIs, transmittals management, site inspection, safety, QA and QC, reports and more.

Model coordination has been around for more than a decade; but it's a laborious task that has too often ended up incomplete. Impacts caused by poor coordination and low-constructability models are costly. Plus, they become major factors of reluctance toward Building Information Modeling (BIM) evolution on the parts of the site workers because they can't rely on it for construction. What we will demonstrate in this class is not your daddy's traditional coordination process. Instant communication replaces long-lasting clash coordination meetings. You'll also learn techniques to engage site workers in the upstream coordination process and benefit from their experience. We will present the different types of issues in BIM in a real project case study. Identification of issues without proper methods to manage them and ensure they are resolved is a waste of precious time. Using different tools such as Revit software, Navisworks software, and the BIM Track platform, attendees will learn workflows to optimize this process and reduce time spent on documenting.

Availability of BIM 360 Model Coordination software made the clash detection portion completely automatic; i.e., uploading files to a given space or a folder in BIM 360 Docs software automatically triggers cloud-based, Navisworks-like, clash-detection service. However, how to interpret those result and resolve the issues are currently completely left up to the users. In this session, we will explore possibilities to further automate some portion of analyzing clashes and suggesting possible resolution options. We approach this goal by making use of all the available Forge capabilities, combining the BIM 360 Model Coordination API to detect clashes, keeping track of issues and resolution with the Issues API to accumulate as a knowledge base, and suggesting/making possible changes to the model using Design Automations for Revit software. We will share how much we accomplished with our dream project, and how we did it.
