Improved and affordable software has made the concept of real-time rendering to become fully realized in the AEC industry. Designers are now able to effortlessly produce high-class renderings throughout every stage of their workflow. A game-changing feature that has added to the improvement of the design workflow is an integration that gives designers the ability to work with both CAD and renderings side-by-side. Adjustments can be made on the fly and the changes will appear on the rendering instantly. This session will demonstrate the possibilities users get by being able to create fully rendered walk-throughs with just one click. From standing out in the conceptional design stage with videos and VR to displaying BIM data to answer questions on facility management. We will outline how all members of the AEC industry can benefit by implementing rendering functions into their workflows and shorten their trial and feedback iterations.

Times are tough, budgets are tight, and teams are lean. The past year has been full of heartache—especially for those working in the petrochemical field. Long gone are the days of $100 oil. Nonetheless, facilities are busy and business must continue. Maintaining facilities on a tighter budget means owners are looking for the best possible return on investment. Technology to the rescue! This class will welcome a variety of real-world stories about how engineering firms are benefiting from their investment in reality capture and Autodesk, Inc.’s, reality-computing workflows. Attendees will listen to their peers share stories about the latest trends for extracting value from point clouds in the plant environment and how it is saving their company money. Topics may include point clouds to fabrication, scanning for asset management, verifying new design in the as-built environment, and more. In addition, speakers will show practical demonstrations of how these workflows are accomplished in Autodesk software This session features AutoCAD Plant 3D and ReCap 360.

Maintenance engineers have different tools to monitor permanent-way states. These are no longer adapted to them: handling, readability, issue interpretation, etc. Currently, each tool used by SNCF is only dedicated to one kind of data. It is tedious for operators to cross the information and carry out an effective maintenance monitoring. For the maintenance manager, it is difficult to have a clear overview of the geographical area for which he is responsible. The service order with Autodesk Consulting made it possible to create a digital model (Civil 3D and Dynamo4Civil) usable in the office (NavisWorks), or on site with a GIS collaborative platform (ArcGIS Online). The site three-dimensional transcription allows to display information coming through various databases. In addition to providing a centralized tool for maintenance monitoring, the new solution facilitates the permanent-way appropriation to any firm newcomer because there are currently no plan deliveries in site premises.

It is quite common for companies to manage many projects for one site; however, it requires that the design documents are contained within one entire project to enable consistency in documentation. The documents can be managed in such a way that the projects can all be run concurrently, but updating occurs in one location. In turn, this process enables external use of the data, such as in Autodesk® Navisworks® software or database software that is also managed as a single project/site entity. You will learn how to contain the integrity of site information, such as P&IDs, models, and isometrics. We will outline the requirements and benefits of managing projects in this type of system.

We will discuss cloud storage and intellectual property issues, BIM tools, lean principles, paperless efforts, facilities management, and the integrated project delivery (IPD) project advantages and disadvantages.

Our planet is facing the biggest challenges seen in humanity’s lifetime: The environment at risk and being destroyed by humans, the acceleration of city growth, and the population acceleration in the megacities of tomorrow. The building industry consumes a large part of our natural resources. There's a big demand for houses and infrastructures to welcome these future populations, and buildings are generating a large portion of the carbon footprint on our planet. How can we overcome all these challenges and make a better world for our children and our children's children? Digital and BIM (Building Information Modeling) is certainly one of the best ways to bring some concrete and very pragmatic answers. In this class, you'll see how Autodesk's BIM and digital software are helping shape the beautiful world of tomorrow. Through very concrete examples and solutions, you'll see that sustainability is not a dream anymore.

The building owner's Digital Twins include digital models of facilities & operations. They should be integrated. We share work to define owner FM requirements and scaleable methods to deliver FM data from capital projects using Autodesk products. We also integrate the VueOps platform, which uses Autodesk Forge, with an owner’s computerized maintenance management system. This owner seeks to find and view design, product, and O&M information about equipment holistically for incidence response and maintenance events, and eventually incorporate it with asset health and diagnosis tools. VueOps extracts and relates location, system, and equipment information from annotated CAD and BIM, to power ‘right information, right time’ search in a customized Forge viewer. We integrated the VueOps viewer and connected VueOps data with the owner’s computerized maintenance management system to bring BIM and project turnover data into an enterprise CMMS and manage changes between the Digital Twins.

Utilizing BIM for facilities management (FM) has been the utopian dream of BIM enthusiasts since the inception of BIM. A fully parametric BIM can provide immediate access to information from mechanical component types and periodic maintenance records, to fixture and equipment inventories, to seating charts and disaster recovery plans. However, a closer look at the process of delivering FM-BIM shows that a gap exists in integrating facility-related information with intelligent models for efficient handover to support facility management operations. There are many technical challenges posed due to the lack of interoperability of multiple software involved. Also, there are challenges in the process of data gathering due to the current contractual framework. This presentation will take a deeper dive in understanding the process and technology challenges in creating useful FM intelligent models and will propose a road map to turn the utopian dream of BIM for FM into reality.

This class will cover 2 separate workflows uploading data to BIM 360 Ops software.

As the title of this session indicates, we will share lessons learned. Attendees will get an overview of the team structure and data flow, as well as a deeper dive into how to overcome the challenges the UCHealth team encountered, such as parameter concatenation, data revision, and uploading of information changes. This course will be a combination of Microsoft PowerPoint and live demonstration, and will include Revit, BIM 360 Ops, Dynamo, BIM 360 Glue, and BIM 360 Field.

The U.S. design and construction industry is shifting toward single-source delivery approaches such as design-build and integrated project delivery (IPD). A fundamental feature that these delivery systems share is the participation of subcontractors in the early stages of the project. DPR Construction has invested heavily in the use of new technologies such as Building Information Modeling (BIM) and in development of expertise in collaborative delivery methods. We find that including owner's Operations and Maintenance Teams in IPD leads to better total-cost-of-ownership outcomes, providing an opportunity to make asset data flow from the project into asset management systems. This information, along with building-automation-system trend data, makes possible a more accurate picture of building system performance, thereby improving decision-making about energy spend, system maintenance, and repair. We will share DPR's experience working with owners who understand the business value of IPD in order to achieve breakthrough outcomes in whole-life management of projects and buildings.

Contemporary rail projects are vastly complex due to an intersection of several key factors. The deliverables and support that agencies and contractors ask for are scaling with new technology. These technologies are relatively new to the rail design space, and there are currently no precedents for implementing them. On two similar rail projects, tailored workflows and custom automation tools were developed in order to deliver the required standard documentation, visualization, clash detection, and asset management deliverables. The synergy between automation, connected BIM, and creative project workflow were essential to the execution of these projects. In this session, we’ll examine the project needs, collaboration between BIM 360 software and ProjectWise, and automation with the Subassembly Composer, Dynamo, Forge, and LISP.

It’s hard to believe that Revit software has been around for nearly 20 years, but we can’t seem to agree on how to work together with it. This simple fact is the basis for this panel session. Here in 2018, we’ve come a long way from the early days of Revit, but we still can’t seem to get out of our silos and really work together. Sure, we can collaborate on projects, but we still don’t really know what our fellow disciplines need in their Revit models—and, by extension, what we could put in our models to improve theirs. But what if we just asked the other disciplines what they needed? This will be a moderated panel discussion, with 7 different Revit disciplines represented: architecture, structural, mechanical, electrical, construction, FM/Owner/Operator, and Software/Revit.

The class will be a lecture on the EQ house, the actually built architecture that AI and IoT deployed. It was completed in March of 2019. Installed with advanced IoT technology and AI, EQ House is expected to be attached by the owner as if it were life-like architecture. It is installed with varied sensors to perceive environmental status and accumulates data about the owner’s preference by means of “like” buttons from the smart watch. The experimental design, inspection, and fabrication process was also needed to actually realize the futuristic architecture of the EQ House. By using the optimization process, the design period to determine the pattern of the facade decreased by 60% and through the inspection using BIM 360 Docs software and mixed reality decreased 20%, and the fabrication by 25%.
