Forma Data Management is a cloud-based common data environment on the Autodesk Forma platform, facilitating concurrent collaboration between multiple users. Does working together on the same project pose challenges for the team, particularly when multiple users are working on the same set of drawings? Are you experiencing any synchronization issues while collaborating on the same project drawings? Do you encounter issues when notifications about one user's edits are not sent to the other users? Collaboration becomes significantly more productive when the system operates as anticipated and delivers instant results. With Forma Data Management project synchronization enhancement in AutoCAD Architecture software and AutoCAD MEP toolset now resolves the challenges and alleviates our burdens. The projects hosted on Forma Data Management now support automatic synchronization of changes across multiple users. Now two or more users can collaborate on a project across offices and locations. Users can identify if a drawing is available for editing or locked by others.

Sustainability and cost efficiency for residential building is more important than ever. We will present with our customer Haas an integrated workflow from the configurator, an automated detailed design process in Revit to fabrication and the construction site. This digital process allows prospects to visually configure and calculate any residential or family timber house. These visualization of the customer's request via the house configurator leads to a faster and high-quality discussion with the customer. Seamless transition from configuration to design in Autodesk Revit ensures that no extra detail design work must be carried out manually. That model is transferred into the fabrication process and finally all data is leveraged via BIM360/ACC BUILD on construction sites for project and quality management and daily logs.

For too long, the environmental impact of mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) systems has been underestimated, especially compared to structural and architectural elements. However, case studies, particularly those involving industrial buildings, reveal a significant impact. Unfortunately, most off-the-shelf lifecycle analysis (LCA) solutions don't address MEP. As a global leader in design and consulting services, Jacobs is here to change that. We've developed and built a custom Power BI visual. This innovative tool pulls both models and their associated metadata directly into Power BI. Our LCA experts then took things a step further. They developed calculations that convert the extracted data on quantities, dimensions, and materials into measurable global warming impacts. The result? Powerful LCA dashboards with clear model visuals. These tools empower our engineers and clients to make data-driven decisions that minimize the global warming impact of their designs.
