Follow a real-world case study of how one developer changed his entire process from old school to current and forward-thinking in a single project. Learn how using Revit software prototypes can help improve the financial pro-forma to optimize the site plan, unit mix, and net rentable for the building. Rapid design visualization and iterations help minimize construction cost by 10% and maximize revenue by as much as 5%. Eventually, converting a similar building from CAD to Revit software and automating the creation of construction documentation for architecture, structural, and MEP (mechanical, electrical, and plumbing) can save months of the CD timeline. Design visualization of Revit models using A360 cloud-based collaboration service and BIM 360 Docs software helped the architecture, engineering, and construction team see changes in days versus months—and in 3D on their phones versus paper sheets. Learn how a change order saved $500,000 and was implemented in one week versus 6 months. Renderings enabled rapid optimization of materials and the procurement of long lead-time items. This session features BIM 360 Docs, A360, and Revit Architecture. AIA Approved

From place to project: Adam Sjödin, urban planner and digital strategist from Sweco Architects based in Stockholm Sweden, details project timelines and how data and design flows between GIS, Spacemaker, Sweco's in-house carbon-calculation tool C3, and Revit. Tools such as GIS, Spacemaker, Revit, or all of the above, are often utilized in projects but the different contributors and stakeholders are often stuck in silos, focusing simply on their immediate needs and not a project’s full timeline, which makes them inefficient. To mitigate that, Sweco has developed methods and workflows to streamline the flow of data in projects and to digitalize this process and utilize all available and new data early in the process. This ensures that the project starts on the right foot, workflows are efficient, and that all of the data is available and utilized. The method can be used to pinpoint a place of interest, analyze the potential of the site, to finished project.

In this session we demonstrate how Spacemaker can be leveraged to quickly kick-off a project and validate design decisions. Saving you time and effort, we’ll demonstrate the ideal workflow to combine the strengths of Spacemaker and Revit. From project setup and validating concept proposals using Spacemaker's user friendly analysis tools we'll give you a thorough beginners guide to get you started in the software. We'll wrap up the session with a demo of the Revit add in to easily migrate your proposals to Revit for further design development. Need to tweak your proposals - we'll show how to migrate your proposal back into Spacemaker for further analysis.

Sustainability emerges as the main value driver of the future of building. Reducing a building's carbon footprint decreases its running costs, improves the workforce's sense of purpose, and raises property value. Buildings become also socially, economically, and environmentally responsible. In turn, they become more profitable, and healthier places to live and work in. In this class, we will focus on an outcome-based design workflow from schematic design in Spacemaker to design development in Revit and Insight. The discussion is centered on concrete milestones and frameworks connected to sustainable KPIs in early phase development. We will explore a small mixed-use plot in Central London, with views of the River Thames and HMS Belfast.

The need for affordable housing has never been so high worldwide. One possible solution is to optimize the development of new neighborhoods. But how can you get a maximum number of residential buildings on your plot in a sustainable way while still providing comfort? In this class, we'll teach you step by step how you can use Generative Design for Revit and Dynamo to optimize the planning of neighborhoods of single-family residential buildings, including plot subdivision, land-use assignment, and placement and shape of structures. We'll then review how Spacemaker brings even more value into this complex exercise for the optimization of multifamily residential buildings.

O software Robot Structural Analysis Professional (RSAP) é versátil no cálculo de estruturas de diversos portes, dentre elas as de edificações residenciais e comerciais em concreto armado e em aço. Galpões industriais e coberturas metálicas também são bastante requisitadas. A total utilização deste software é limitada por não conter nativamente as NBR's necessárias para dar produtividade ao processo de cálculo, dimensionamento e detalhamento de estruturas conforme é exigido de forma regional/nacional. O simples uso de planilhas associadas ao recurso Results connect que liga o RSAP ao Excel ou ainda na criação de uma rotina usando o API para personalizar determinadas rotinas internamente ao RSAP possibilita trazer as NBR's Revisitar alguns comandos para a melhor utilização do RSAP também será abordado de forma prática e aplicada as estruturas reticuladas mais comuns para concreto armado e aço e também para Galpões.

Os projetos, independente de sua área, sempre tem alterações, se a equipe não for muito bem organizada e orientada, isso pode trazer sérios prejuízos, pois tempo é dinheiro. Como encontrar alterações entre as versões dos projetos rapidamente? Como saber quem fez as alterações, e quando? Como padronizar as bibliotecas para toda a equipe de uma forma mais rápida e livre de erros? Essas e outras questões são os desafios que muitas equipes de projetos enfrentam, então venha aprender como diminuir em pelo menos 50% o tempo que você e sua equipe perdem tentando resolver essas questões!
