How I Make My Child Love Math by Using Revit and Dynamo
Helping children to love math is a challenge to most parents. Math is a skill that takes a lot of brain power to master, and kids can experience this as hard work. Since kids are more receptive to learning when it is associated more with play than with work, it is a good idea for parents to expose kids to math in fun ways. The challenge is to figure out how to create simple interactions and early learning activities to serve as a foundation for kids to enjoy math. Believe it or not, Revit software and the Dynamo extension can help. Using Revit software and the Dynamo extension together with an old Disney movie—“Donald in Mathmagic Land”—I’ve turned my kid into a math lover. Come to my class and I’ll share my experience with you. This session features Revit and 123D.

Model-Based Design: Modernizing Our Design Process
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 Forma, and Twinmotion. This session will walk through how we built and implemented this program to accelerate change at VHB.

Water Project Lifecycle Connected Data with Civil 3D, GIS, Dynamo, Python, and IFC

This class will showcase a connected data workflow used to deliver large water and sewer infrastructure projects from design to commissioning. This is accomplished with a systematic use of Civil 3D software and ArcGIS integration, asset data governance, and Industry Foundation classes (IFC) for digital-twin commissioning. The sewer and water designs are first developed in Civil 3D. Dynamo and Python are used to attach a class library as property set data and generate a spreadsheet model database. The spreadsheet is linked to an Esri geodatabase through geoprocessing and Python. This geodatabase is updated with field-collected attribute data and as-built data via Esri Field Maps. The computational process is reversed to update the spreadsheet and subsequently the Civil 3D model. The model is delivered as-built, and an IFC version containing the asset data is exported for the owner's digital-twin ecosystem.

Autodesk Data Models Brought to Life: Using GraphQL to Implement Real-World Data Connectors
As Autodesk shifts to platform thinking, GraphQL is the choice for a developer-friendly alternative to a REST API. Our GraphQL APIs enable customers to work across the many data sources for their projects—whether buildings for construction, manufactured components, or assets in a media production. And there should be a common solution for data access when working with the rich, granular data stored in these Autodesk Data Models and Data Exchanges. This presentation will be a case study of how GraphQL was used to build data connectors between Autodesk’s platform and third-party applications. Our engineering team collaborated with System Integrators to produce several connectors—for Microsoft’s Power BI and Power Automate, and Autodesk Dynamo. Each connector shared common and unique integration challenges. We’d like to share our journey of discovery that resulted in customer utility and reveal how we brought the Autodesk Data Models to life through successful integration use cases.
