Imagine walking a design site before it’s ever built, with grading, buildings, and utilities unfolding around you in full context. Immersive Digital Workplaces make that possible, turning project models into shared experiences that improve communication and bring teams into alignment before construction begins. In this fast-paced, high-level session, three voices from civil design, immersive technology, and construction will share insights from the field. Rather than a technical deep dive, this session offers a big-picture look at how immersive Digital Workplaces are bridging disciplines, reducing errors, and clarifying complex data throughout the project lifecycle. When stakeholders can visualize a design in its environment, they are empowered to make faster, more confident decisions. Join us to explore how immersive workflows support better outcomes from concept through construction.

One of the biggest challenges in is getting disciplines to work together, sharing data and information in real time. Whether technical, organizational, or cultural, silos slow progress, create inefficiencies, and keep teams from reaching their full potential. This panel brings together industry leaders who are actively climbing that mountain. Through candid conversation, they’ll share real-world struggles, setbacks, and the steps they’re taking to reach higher ground. Expect honest insights, bold ideas, and practical strategies to break down barriers, improve communication, and build stronger, more connected teams. If you’re navigating the uphill journey of , this session is your chance to pause, gain perspective, and gather the tools needed to keep moving forward together.

Inventor® software can be a great tool to create detailed models of various equipment that can be used in the building design industry. Revit®-based software can be a great tool to convey the design intent of different types of building design systems. Previously, if a detailed component was modeled in Inventor, there was no easy way to bring that model into Revit without losing the intelligence behind the model. Using the new Building Information Modeling (BIM) tools inside Inventor, you can now prepare your model for export to Revit and control the parameters that go into Revit. You can further control and flex the model inside Revit, thereby retaining the intelligence of your models. In this hands-on lab, we explore this new and exciting functionality to teach you how to move models from Inventor to Revit while retaining the intelligence behind them.

The dilemma of choosing to open a startup or a nonprofit is always present in the mind of entrepreneurs. In this age, where small startups are raising money and there are huge investments in the architecture, engineering, construction, and owner/operator (AECO) industry, what is missing and what can be an opportunity? In this panel, the San Francisco Computational Design Institute will try to find the winning formula. This effort aims to promote cooperation under the same umbrella and help the AECO community as a whole. We will focus on how we, as experts, can help our community to share our knowledge and provide better solutions. The panel will host: Zachary Kron from Autodesk Dynamo Team Matt Jezyk: Tesla Dennis Shelden: Georgia Tech Kayleigh Houde: Buro Happold - BHoM All our panelists come from different experiences and career paths, universities, enterprises, startup and they contributed and are keep contributing in the main open-source or closed source initiatives in the AEC space. They will answers to questions related to how to run successfully and open-source project, a startup, they will share with us their personally story and career paths, and they will provide some good insights for other organizations who are approaching this Digital Transformation.

Projects are generating ever-increasing amounts of photo and video documentation. From mobile phones to wearable cameras to drones, the number of devices that can generate visual information is skyrocketing. Unfortunately, storing and organizing this content is not a simple task, nor is linking it to the actual assets. The files are numerous, large, and often do not have the required information associated to help categorize them. This case study of a live project will present a new approach that complements the visual organization capabilities of Revit software (and beyond) with a new product—Smartvid.io—to help store, organize, and tag the video and photo content captured on-site. We will discuss the concept of video-based reality capture within the context of construction, handover, and operations deliverables. This session features Revit, BIM 360 Field, and Building Ops.

This class shows the benefits of 5D in different building types. We show examples of 5D in the following: (1) Precast: In Mexico City there are currently 2.3 million cars. That�s around 1,533 cars per square kilometer, which means a big problem for the population. The main solution for this problem was the construction of an elevated highway. Laser scanning helped us sort out many of the issues. We joined the point cloud and the project model together for clash detection, constructive simulations, cinematic studies, logistics for conflict solution and detailing; (2) Civil: Last year Mexico hosted the G20 summit. Presidents who attended this summit represent 90% of world's GDP. The event took place in a convention center that was built in a record time of 5 months. Using 5D was essential to deliver the building on time. We performed several constructive simulations for detecting schedule deviations, laser scanning for quality control, and daily progress monitoring for stakeholders.
