Visualizing the Future of Nashville Water: The Forma-VR Combo Hits Its Stride in a Massive Collaborative Design Effort
Nashville’s once-in-a-generation water plant upgrade is using cloud tools and virtual reality (VR) to set a new standard for how critical facilities are designed. The ambitious project fits a new modern plant into a complex campus, and, notably, will convert a beautiful 105-year-old filter building into an advanced treatment unit. It will not only establish a climate-resilient water supply for Nashville, but it will also honor the historic site with thoughtful architecture and achieve the highest standards in project Sustainable Design. The design was a multi-year collaborative effort between 10 firms. Autodesk Forma was the cornerstone, with Revit and Civil 3D models brought together daily in a federated Navisworks model. This talk will cover how the live model accessed through Resolve VR empowered all levels of owner staff to engage in project development in ways not otherwise possible—from O&M teams providing frequent detailed input to City officials quickly understanding the site in broad strokes.

Assets in the Golden Thread: Enabling Digital Twins with an End-to-End Workflow Using Forma Build and Assets in Forma
Utilities, retailers, hospital operators, towercos, and other companies may need to digitalize large portfolios with thousands of existing facilities to complete their digital journeys—either to fully benefit from building information modeling (BIM) in design and construction or as a first step for the creation of their digital twins. Those same companies typically have an inventory database that is either incorrect or incomplete, but that has value nonetheless, since it may be used to connect said assets with other enterprise solutions, including maintenance and operations management. In this technical instruction session, we will present a workflow for the end-to-end digitalization of a portfolio of facilities using a component-based approach. This workflow starts with any existing inventory, uses it in Autodesk Forma Assets and Forms to capture on-site data, then switches to Forma Design Collaboration software and Forma Data Management software for the intelligent modeling of the facilities, and then again moves back to the Assets functionality for audit and validation.

Streamlining Asset Management and Progress Tracking with Forma Build and GAMMA AR
Integrating Forma Build software with GAMMA AR has significantly enhanced project traceability, improving the accuracy and credibility of progress tracking. This integration supports asset management across the entire project lifecycle, from delivery to handover. It also strengthens collaboration by connecting stakeholders through digital workflows, reducing reliance on paper, and lowering the project’s carbon footprint. GAMMA AR brings added value to BIM by enabling real-time validation of on-site work, assigning issues to responsible parties, and instantly tracking installation progress. This strategy not only boosts efficiency and productivity, but it’s also expected to reduce documentation workflow duration by up to 25%, marking a key step toward Management in construction. Since all construction documents are stored, linked, referenced, and visualized to all assets, facility manager mobilization time may be significantly reduced by 50%.

Exploring 3D Model Review with Autodesk Workshop XR: An Immersive Journey Through Daily Engineering Activities
At Maire, we’ve successfully integrated Autodesk Workshop XR software into our engineering processes. This integrated platform facilitates model reviews using Meta Quest virtual reality (VR) headsets. Model reviews are critical design phases where engineers meet virtually to discuss project status and coordinate efforts. The use of VR headsets has been particularly beneficial, as it allows designers to immerse themselves in the full-scale 3D model and evaluate design choices effectively. Additionally, the platform enables users to snap and create issues, which can be shared with the team to track and address identified problems. This innovative approach has significantly enhanced our project coordination and design evaluation processes. In the past, we used a VR solution stored on a workstation. Workshop XR is useful in our integrated environment in Autodesk Forma, where we store all our projects. Workshop XR is a part of our workflow in Autodesk Forma with the standard use of documents and design Automation, Integration, & Customization module.

From Legacy to Digital Prototyping: Scan. Model. Transform.
Elevating the digital maturity of our clients' factories, we aim to transform traditional manufacturing practices by transitioning from outdated paper-based drawings to the powerful concept of the Digital Prototyping. We start by scanning the facility to generate a 3D point cloud, which forms the base for architectural and MEP models in Revit software. These are imported into Inventor software, where we design and optimize the production line with machinery, conveyors, and robots. Factory Design Utilities software allows us to quickly build detailed layouts. With Navisworks software, we perform clash detection and offer virtual reality (VR) walk-throughs. FlexSim simulates the workflow to ensure efficiency. For data management, we use Vault Pro software and Autodesk Forma, while Autodesk Tandem software improves operations. This journey helps clients move beyond outdated systems and embrace the Digital Prototyping and Digital Prototyping.

Safety in Design with Autodesk Forma and AR: The Digital Journey of an Aviation Project
The Terminal 2 Baggage Programme (T2BP) at Heathrow aims to replace the aging T2 baggage system linked to Terminal 1. The new solution will be implemented in five phases across 21 construction projects, grouped by physical and operational attributes. A major challenge was managing design risks through different organizations and suppliers that interface at key areas in a live operational environment. The manual Excel processes used to record design risks led to difficulties in maintaining a single source of truth, causing duplication and errors. The goal was to find a streamlined, digital solution to standardize processes and enable monitoring and reporting through dashboards. After researching data environments, Autodesk Forma was chosen for its suitability to manage design risk information, requiring customization through trial and feedback. The solution also provided integration with augmented reality (AR) for live inspections.

Stop Taking Photos on Site! Integrate Mobile 3D Capture and 3D Gaussian Splatting in Civil Infrastructure Management Instead
Have you ever taken a photo of something critical during a site visit only to forget where it was or find it lacking context when reviewing it later? The increasing accessibility of advanced reality capture devices—such as photogrammetry and SLAM LiDAR technology—offers an unprecedented opportunity for AECO professionals to accurately capture detailed and extensive site details. Integrating these technologies into your workflows can dramatically enhance documentation at various construction stages, improve coordination among stakeholders, and provide timely and transparent as-built information. This case study will demonstrate how to effectively use these advanced technologies (SLAM point clouds and 3D gaussian splatting) to enrich civil Infrastructure Management with Autodesk tools like Civil 3D, ReCap, InfraWorks, Revit, and Autodesk Forma.
