CAD and BIM have long served as the foundational design and construction documentation —but their utility often ends at project handoff. What if it didn’t? Indoor GIS is a floor-aware system of record for visualizing, analyzing, and managing facilities and collection of buildings. This session will demonstrate how to extend the life of CAD and BIM data into an indoor GIS, and empower CAD, BIM and GIS practitioners to build a Digital Workplace for building operations. Learn about the role of CAD and BIM integrations with GIS to fuel these workflows. See how to import design data into ArcGIS Indoors to map assets and manage spaces, enable real-time navigation with ArcGIS IPS, and equip facilities’ staff with mobile tools for asset inspections and maintenance. Whether new to GIS or looking to modernize facility operations workflows, this session provides you with guidance and examples to convert CAD and BIM data into Digital Workplaces that support asset and space management.

Imagine a design process where creative exploration meets technical precision, seamlessly blending Rhino’s fluid conceptualization with Revit’s detailed documentation. In this session, we will explore a dynamic, cross-platform workflow that transforms 2D sketches and conceptual master plans into data-rich, buildable models—while preserving design intent and enhancing efficiency. Discover how the Environment plugin for Revit empowers landscape architects and urban designers to push creative boundaries, iterate efficiently, and bridge the gap between design and documentation with accuracy. This session will highlight a methodical yet flexible approach that minimizes errors, fosters collaboration, and streamlines project execution—illustrated through real-world applications that demonstrate design optimization and efficient delivery.

In this class, we'll explore the importance of a digital-twin strategy, discuss strategic takeaways, and demonstrate how we used Autodesk Tandem software to realize a digital twin for risk reduction during a construction project. Digital twin technology is a vital solution for BAM and its clients, helping to address societal challenges and accelerate the execution with digital solutions. Recognizing the diversity of our projects, we've developed a digital-twin strategy to unify our vision and approach. This strategy, along with proof of concepts with Tandem, offers a clear understanding of the digital twin for BAM, and details its benefits for BAM and its employees, partners, and clients. This has helped BAM to further enhance its organizational readiness for digital-twin deployment, enhanced understanding of digital-twin technology, and increased market competitiveness. Join us to discover how to strategically incorporate and test digital twins into your operations for a future-ready approach.
