Autodesk Takeoff: The Era of Connected and Accurate QTO Is Here Now!

AIA CES  Even with the enhancements of building information modeling (BIM) workflows, the estimators have struggled to take off quantities accurately due to the lack of "information" in the BIM data. Add to that the complexity of combining 3D takeoffs with 2D drawings, and the estimators have a never-ending nightmare. The result is either not winning the job, or winning with not much profit. This is where Autodesk Takeoff-the cloud-based 2D and 3D quantity takeoff (QTO) tool from Autodesk Construction Cloud-is proving to be a gamechanger. With the industry-leading, automated, 3D takeoff capabilities combined with easy-to-use 2D takeoff tools, Autodesk Takeoff allows estimators to generate accurate bids and win more jobs. This class will focus on showing the capabilities of the connected takeoff process using the BIM data hosted on the Autodesk Construction Cloud project. You'll learn about the automated 3D takeoffs and how to combine them with the customizable 2D takeoffs to generate accurate bids. You'll also learn how to review changes in design and update your takeoffs.

Power BI to leverage BIM & GIS Integration
BIM & GIS Integration became an essential part of large scale projects. While a massive amount of information is produced during the project life cycle, sometimes it is hard to use it because it is trapped inside the BIM and GIS software which becomes an obstacle for non-BIM and GIS users. Especially on decision Makers levels and from Project Management perspective. Using Business Intelligence software, Power BI, and the support of other software like Autodesk Forge and VCAD, Power BI will be able to present BIM Models and GIS layers in an interactive way connected with all types of trackers. In this session, I will present how I created an Information Center that acts as the single source of Truth for my projects using the interactive connection between Power BI, BIM 360, Arcgis and trackers in excel to facilitate the access to up to date information for all team members.

Grapefruit Design Process
As the AEC industry continues to rely on its current design process, technology allows for the exploration of possibilities that may differ from the current workflow. The AEC has been using the same methodology for decades, way before we even had computers. This discussion poses the question: Shouldn’t we look at a holistic change of that methodology taking into consideration future technological advances? This session will offer a forum to discuss various hypothetical possibilities regarding the architectural design process and its interaction with technology, hoping to objectively look at areas that can be improved. During this roundtable, we’ll share and discuss experiences, successes, failures, ‘wishlists’ and have an open discussion so we can all learn from each other. Every company has its own way to proceed in the design process, but even with the vast number of possible design solutions for buildings, shouldn’t the process be one that can leverage technology to its advantage?

Taming Parametric Curved Geometry in Revit Family Editor
Have you ever tried to control the shape of a curved form parametrically in the Family Editor? If so, you’ve no doubt discovered that flexing them sometimes throws you a curveball. In this session we’ll explore several techniques to tame your unruly parametric curves. We’ll look at examples of circles, arcs, quarter round, half round, arches, and we’ll even check out some splines. We’ll look at both simple and compound curves. We’ll work primarily in the traditional Family Editor but most techniques apply to the massing Family Editor environment as well. We’ll explore curvature and rotation, using both armatures (or rigs) and formulas to constrain flexing behavior. We’ll even throw in some trigonometry for good measure! After this session, I cannot guarantee that you’ll never have another misbehaving curve in your family content, but what I can promise is that you’ll come away with several useful tools to help you tame them when curve-mischief strikes!

Maya and the art world
I am a practising contemporary artist, who has been using Maya for 16 years. I also use Maya for commercial work making animation and visualisations. With the Advent of NFTs and the uptake in digital practices by contemporary artists, the art world is slowly waking up to the possibilities of digital art. As an artist, I have been exploring these possibilities since the early 1980, recent interview https://vimeo.com/543801386. While the art world is very varied these days, the need for originality and the hand to eye relationship of drawing is fairly elemental. Maya's Paint Effects delivers the world's best 3D paint software, Mayas Bifrost lets artists build new and original effects, and when combined with the whole suite of tools in Maya. Contemporary artists have the most sophisticated and advanced tools to create the art of the next century. Duncan Brimsmead help me get started with PFX, I want artists to know what can be achieved withPFX, Bifrost, and the suite of Maya tools.

The Future of Integrated Factory Model Collaboration
Building projects are already realized with the innovative Autodesk Construction Cloud, a data and collaboration platform enabling different planning disciplines and teams to work together in a common data environment. In a factory planning project those planning disciplines are enhanced with teams needing to integrate complex production lines, conveyor systems, steel structure and even logistics equipment. Hidden behind firewalls, software installed and running on-premise forces teams to handle time consuming & inefficient data exchange, disconnected collaboration tracking processes and inadequate viewing & reviewing tasks. This class demonstrates how Autodesk’s cloud services make it possible to efficiently exchange data between on-premise systems and cloud solutions (off-premise). We showcase and provide a best practice approach, how to set up a model coordination space in BIM Collaborate Pro to manage a holistic factory model, its clashes & issues and its review tasks.
