In this session we’ll discuss why Hazen chose to implement the Design features of Autodesk Forma for Civil 3D, Plant 3D, and Revit after extensively testing a variety of other Document Management Systems (Nasuni, Panzura, ProjectWise, BIM 360). Things covered will be: How testing was performed and over what time frame. The key factors that led to Hazen to choose ACC. What our experience was with each DMS. How Hazen is transitioning to ACC from other Document Management Systems. What the positives and negatives are of utilizing ACC Design. What our internal feedback has been from both Designer, Engineers, and Project Managers. What improvements Autodesk can implement to make ACC even better. Along the way we’ll provide details on ACC workflows Hazen has developed and their resulting project efficiencies. We’ll also touch on the possibilities of future ACC implementation around the Takeoff and Build features.

Join Phil Northcott of C-Change Labs and Tim Burnham of Autodesk Consulting to explore new free carbon-analysis tools for design and procurement of infrastructure projects like water and transport networks. We’ll explain the climate impact of concrete and steel, discuss key opportunities for low-cost impact reductions, and cover how to communicate options and savings to stakeholders. The talk will include a short demonstration integrating Civil 3D with EC3 on an example of an underground water network. We’ll generate a sustainability report on the civil design, and show how carbon intensity can be built into a public procurement. There will be an opportunity for questions and answers at the end.

In this case study, we’ll present the challenges involved in designing a set of software solutions to address F1 track construction process and asset management. This class will explore all available technologies such as Civil 3D software, Forma Build software, and Autodesk Forge software, but we’ll especially examine how they demanded integration to address specific race-track construction aspects. We’ll present customization scenarios and explore specific business. We’ll also present the positive impact we achieved by using Forma Build, Civil 3D, and customization through Autodesk Forge. We’ll analyze and present tight deadlines and dynamic changes to the process and to the pace of development from a stakeholder's perspective.

With Autodesk's acquisition of PlanGrid and release of Autodesk Forma there are several tools that assist in the flow of project information. This class will show various workflows not only with the supported software tools like Revit, Civil 3D, and AutoCAD Plant 3D, but also with approval workflows, RFIs, submittals, ways sheets flow through a project, and ways you can use Autodesk Forma Connect to transfer data across different cloud platforms. This class will inspire you to expand your use of Autodesk Forma.

Understand requirements for setting up a Civil 3D project in Forma Design Collaboration, including entitlements, software required, and recommendations for success. We’ll cover project setup and administration, as well as migrating Civil 3D projects to the cloud, checking, and resolving your file dependencies. Lastly, we’ll explore the role of Desktop Connector and the importance of data hygiene.

Join Autodesk product managers responsible for the various components that make up Collaboration for Civil 3D software, including Civil 3D, Desktop Connector, AutoCAD software, and Forma Data Management. We'll review the workflow fundamentals, as well as things to consider when adopting this new solution. Collaboration for Civil 3D is built on rapidly evolving technology, so we'll also provide some insight into future plans with the goal of helping users prepare for the future.

Collaboration for Civil 3D software has been around for some time now, and as the civil and infrastructure community has started embracing the technology, we’ll share some useful techniques and best practices for implementing and streamlining project collaboration and connected workflows. This class is for you if you’re a new or an existing user of this technology. We’ll start with a quick overview of the product and its components, and share tips and tricks on the project configuration, migration, and review process.

This course will outline the steps to take your infrastructure project from planning into design, on to construction, and finally to operations. The Architecture, Engineering & Construction Collection connected with Autodesk Forma will empower designers, owners, and stakeholders to communicate seamlessly during the entire duration of the project. Key elements include Civil 3D-to-Revit workflows, InfraWorks simulations, bridge workflows, clash detection analysis, and collaboration and model coordination in Autodesk Forma. With Autodesk Forma, we’ll demonstrate how contractors can have access to live design documents and files.
