Technology in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry is changing rapidly. To keep up with this accelerated pace, VHB is stating that our default design practice will be model-based design (MBD) by 2025. This means training 800+ Civil 3D users in more-automated, connected, and advanced workflows. We recognize that to create this large-scale shift we need to train a generation of innovative and inspiring coaches to help guide others through this change. Advanced MBD Training was created to mold 10% of our Civil 3D users into MBD Project Coaches. As MBD Project Coaches, they'll be expected to advance MBD from automating processes to creating more-efficient workflows. The training will focus not only on our core tool, Civil 3D, but it will also include Dynamo, InfraWorks software, Subassembly Composer, Grading Optimization, ArcGIS Connector, Autodesk Construction Cloud, and Twinmotion. This session will walk through how we built and implemented this program to accelerate change at VHB.

The outcome of this engagement resulted in a Power BI dashboard that tracks project deliverables against the master information delivery plan through the key information states of Work in Progress, Shared, and Published. This joint presentation by Autodesk and Arcadis will cover practical approaches to deploying and training end users, applying change management practices, and scaling solutions across global organizations. You'll learn how to align their delivery to ISO 19650 using Autodesk Construction Cloud, implement time-saving dashboards, and scale new technology solutions across a global organization.

Following Purcell's presentation on ‘HBIM for Historic Buildings: Refurbishment of Big Ben for UK Parliament' at AU 2022 this proposal looks at the need for information regarding energy and carbon analysis to be available to designers at early stages of project development especially when retrofitting existing buildings of a historical nature. The standard workflows currently in use with applications such as Revit are based on creating mass elements which are then replaced with objects such as walls, floors etc. to produce models. By utilising tools such as the Insight energy and carbon analysis features developed by Autodesk along with redefining perceived workflows clients/building owners, designers and the wider built environment teams can provide more accurate assessments around historical buildings to ensure these truly amazing structures are retained and appreciated for generations to come.

One of the major challenges in architecture—especially with the increased adoption of digital technology in the design process—is interoperability and coordination between design teams that often use software such as Rhino and production teams that use Revit software. In many cases, successfully achieving coordination between these two aspects of the design process requires specialization and complicated workflows. This session will show the benefits of using Autodesk Data Exchange for Rhino to assist in the greater interoperability between Rhino and Revit, leading to better coordination during the project lifecycle. We'll show how Data Exchange for Rhino significantly softens the traditional learning curve for design coordination, giving common users an easy-to-use software. Lastly, we'll highlight some of the other Data Exchange integrations for Grasshopper, Dynamo, and Autodesk Inventor software, and how they impact the design process.
